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."
Their job includes deporting these individuals. DACA was and is illegal. It should have ended in January. Deportation of DACA illegal aliens should have begun in January.
What's the hold-up?
DO YOU JOB, MR. PRESIDENT!
We all are “dreamers”. We dream that the IRS be abolished.
The politicians need to allow taxpayers to live their dreams or shut the f___ up about how they support “dreamers”.
Wow, this I should one of Michelle Malkin’s most powerful essays ever. She should be brought in to testify to those GD idiots in Congress.
She is brilliant and says so much in so few words.
I am SO sick of us allowing invaders to protest and DEMAND things in our nation. Time to show all these lousy ingrates some tough love. Deport ALL of them.
Their rotten behavior disrespects all of us, all of those many people following immigration law today, and all of our forebears who came here legally. F every last one of them.
That would put a fast stop to these lousy illegal invader protests. Trump should do it. Incarcerate them all for the six month waiting period.
The Dems have been running on non-factual Emotions/Emotional appeals for three generations now. You simply cannot discuss facts with a liberal. Might as,we’ll be talking to a goldfish in a bowl.
No, the parents did not bring them in. They were sent in by their parents ahead of them (the parents) which btw was okay by that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
...and to be able to raid his fridge whenever I want.
Another very good example of the way democrats pervert language and use Madison Avenue marketing techniques to manipulate public opinion.
They have had great success in the past with this strategy.
Changing the identity of homosexuals from sodomites to Gays helped bring about a complete reversal of public opinion about same gender sex.
And relabeling the killing of children in the womb from abortion as a "woman's health issue" or "the right to choose" has worked well for them.
Now illegal aliens are undocumented workers and their children are not illegals - they are Dreamers.
And Americans who believe in the constitution and in America as a nation of laws are racists and haters.
They deserve citizenship the moment they complete the legal process!
They fall into both categories. Some were sent, some were brought. Parents in other countries need to know that they ruin their kids lives by either sending or bringing them to the U.S. illegally.
Now, it’s not a big heartbreak as being portrayed in MSM. After they are deported, they will recover and their lives will go forward. They’re young. Some will even immigrate back to the U.S. legally, which is just fine with me.
Cry me a river.
Who pays for these?
You know darn well these parasites didn't buy them with their EBT cards.

This person would likely have a **very** good life in their home country in a job that requires a person who speaks English like an American and has had an American education.
These people are arrogant SOB’s who flaunt our laws. I wouldn’t mind going to Mexico settling my a** down and demand everything these “dreaming” morons demand and call their right. I think it’s safe to say I would be lucky to go to a Mexican prison as opposed to being shot or beaten and left for dead back at the border. The Dreamers and their sycophant enablers can FOAD. They are freeloaders and parasites! Calling them Dreamers is absolutely reprehensible.
These illegals have received billions of tax dollars in food stamps, rent subsidies, and free education since they’ve arrived and squatted with their illegal parents. All taxpayers have been ripped off, but especially young Americans have been ripped off as Dreamers took their spots in college and in the work force.
That’s one big reason so many young Americans were unable to find work and had to live with their parents in the past decade, wasting their chance to get a start at employment in the struggling Obama economy.
PING
They’re such awesome workers and people and contribute so much to society...let’s be generous and send them back home so their countries can benefit. Let’s not be selfish and keep them here.
I love Michelle Malkin. She rationally nails it.
“And Americans who believe in the constitution and in America as a nation of laws are racists and haters.”
And, by extension, white supremacists.
