Over and over again, from the mouths of politicians in both parties, identity politics purveyors and cheap labor lobbyists, we hear the same refrains about President Obama's 800,000 amnestied illegal alien youths:
"They don't deserve to be punished."
"They deserve protection."
"They deserve the American dream."
Deserve, deserve, deserve.
Over and over again, in countless cookie-cutter op-ed pieces published over the past month, so-called DREAMers have vociferously lamented President Donald Trump's push to eventually undo their unconstitutional five-year reprieves from deportation plus coveted work permits:
"DREAMers like me have flourished under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Trump might take it all away."
"If Trump ends DACA, DREAMers like me will return to a life of anxiety and doubt."
"I feel exhausted, I feel frustrated, I feel angry, and in the worst moments, I feel helpless. I feel terrified that at any moment this program is going to be taken away and once again I won't be able to work -- how will I pay my bills? ... What is going to happen to me if I get stopped on the street and I no longer have DACA? What's going to happen to me if I get put into deportation proceedings and I don't have thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to stay in this country?"
"I will lose my job, my ability to finish college, my driver's license, and will be subject to deportation. I am not alone either. Almost one million young immigrants like myself will be affected in the same way and possibly even worse."
I, I, I. Me, me, me. My bills. My ego. My education. My job. My anxiety.
Since when did DACA become the Depression and Anxiety Cure for Amnesty-seekers?
It's this insatiable appetite for collective entitlement that demonstrates the perils of blanket amnesty. Give a privileged political class an inch and they'll take, take, take until feckless public servants give away their country.
The proper response to illegal alien activists demanding that Washington act "NOW!" to preserve their comfort, allay their anxieties and extend their unconstitutional protections indefinitely is this:
Why?
Americans in uniform who've dedicated their lives to defending our nation are struggling to gain access to quality health care they've earned by action, not by accident or circumstance. Imagine their stress.
Five million American young people between 16-34 were unemployed last year and 50 million more are not even in the labor force. Imagine their anxiety.
Hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people from around the world are waiting patiently for their backlogged visa and green card applications to be reviewed. Imagine their frustration.
Why don't their dreams come first?
Nancy Pelosi called on House Republicans to help her "safeguard our young DREAMers from the senseless cruelty of deportation and shield families from separation and heartbreak."
Never has this Bay Area elitist called on House Republicans to join her in shielding native-born and law-abiding immigrant families from the senseless and preventable violence committed by criminals in this country illegally who've caused immeasurable heartbreak for decades in her overrun California sanctuary.
Jamiel Shaw Sr., whose son was mercilessly shot to death by a sanctuary-protected gang member living in outlaw-coddling Los Angeles illegally, administered a bracing reality check:
"You want to talk about families being separated? Try spending your holidays talking to a grave!"
The left-wing DREAM racket is a self-perpetuating political marketing machine. Its primary contribution to American society? Lashing out at how cruel, racist, ignorant and ungrateful the rest of us are for not bowing down before the hallowed angel children of the Obama administration's amnesty program. It's no coincidence that the publicity-hungry leaders of the DREAMer movement are full-time fulminators in government-funded academia, community organizing outfits, immigration law foundations and the grievance-nursing media.
A deserving DREAMer would respect the sovereign right of an independent nation to determine who stays and who goes based on its national interest and constitutional obligations to put its citizenry first.
The deserving DREAMer, in other words, would admit he or she is owed nothing and deserves nothing.
There is no such thing as a "deserving DREAMer."
If they really want to be US Citizens, they need to get in line like everyone else and begin the naturalization process. Until they do they’re still illegal aliens.
It is about time someone with a national voice arranges the facts logically. The “dreamer” BS needs to be laid to rest.
What laws can normal Americans be forgiven for violating? Income tax evasion? Yes, that sounds good. After all, we work hard and want a better life.
It must be known throughout the world that, if you scoff at our laws and bring your kids here illegally, you are ruining their lives.
If the “Dreamers” were Afrikaaners or Australians, the Dems and GOPe wouldn’t give a single crap about them. Actually, strike that, they would be trying to deport them.
The dreamers were not brought by their parents. They came without their parents
Lovely picture ...
We have enough home-grown fat, angry, ugly bitches. We don’t need to import any. We DO need to deport the foreign origin FAUBs.
BTW, where’s ICE? Every time illegal alien FAUBs congregate and start shouting, ICE officers should show up to arrest them.
How about it, Mr. President? DO YOUR JOB!
There is no such word as Afrikaaners. The correct word is Afrikaners with only 2 A not three.
BTW what do you have against the Aussies?
There are laws designed to prevent people from profiting from illegal acts. Why is illegal being in the country an exception?
Emotions/Emotional appeals.
That’s all the DIMS have left.
Well that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave brought them in. Not President Trump. He is doing his job and so does ICE. Already 70% illegals are not not coming in because they got the message. Mr #Never Trumper NorthMountain
Bump
The part the liberals refuse to understand. Group A is held to every law. Group B gets exemptions. No matter what the laws are, its basically unfair to group A. Its fundamentally wrong.
Dreamers are a bargaining chip. They are a priority for the other side. We have our priorities.
Our priorities are:
1. To secure the border. This includes a physical barrier but is more than that. This is about immigration but is also about drug smuggling, human traffiicking and terrorism, and crime in general.
2. To reserve better-paying, full-time jobs with benefits for Americans.
3. To reduce the cost of welfare.
We have a deal-maker in the Oval Office. Donald Trump will get us a good bargain or walk away if he can’t. Unfortunately, at this point, I don’t think the Senate is capable of blowing its nose without assistance. Paul Ryan got repeal and replace through the House of Representatives. So, I have no beef with him or the House leadership. It’s the prima donnas in the Senate I’m upset with, beginning #1 with John McCain. He has got to park with animosity toward Trump outside, and serve the people of his state and of the country.
Every Democrat household earning over $75,000 should be required to take in and fully support a DREAMer.
Every Hollywood Democrat millionaire should house and fully support 20 DREAMers.
Only then should those people say anything about DACA.
I can’t see how you could possibly infer that I have anything against Australians. If the Dreamers were white, the Dems and GOPe wouldn’t care about them, apart from wanting them to go away. It’s that simple.
They were betrayed by their parents who took them to a foreign country illegally. Their problems are not our problems.
Yep, sent here, knowing it’s illegal, by parents hoping they’d get a pass to follow them in.
