'You're a Liar:' 'Dreamers' Confront Pelosi Over DACA Negotiations With Trump

Things got a little heated Monday when a group of young immigrants confronted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at a pro-DACA press conference in San Francisco. Several dozen young immigrants shouted down the top Democrat in the U.S. House, following her recent conversations with President Donald Trump over the future of a program that grants many of them legal status. "We are immigrant youth, undocumented and unafraid," they chanted, taking over a scheduled press conference where Pelosi, along with Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman, was expected to call for the immediate passage of the Dream Act, a federal proposal that was never approved by Congress but offered many of the same protections as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.

The protests appeared aimed at Pelosi's recent engagement with Trump on the future of the DACA program, which former President Barack Obama enacted to protect young people brought into the United States unlawfully as children. Trump said in early September he will halt the program in six months if Congress does not act to continue it.

After smiling and occasionally trying to speak through much of the protest, an aggravated Pelosi told the protesters to “just stop it, now." The group cut off the "Dreamers" scheduled to speak along with Pelosi.

Protesters accused Pelosi and other democrats of deporting undocumented immigrants, asking for protection for 11 million undocumented immigrants across the country. They chanted: "Shut down ICE" and "All of us or none of us."~~~~~~~~~They are getting bold with their demands...

[Enchante]

ICE should round them up at the press conference and deport them immediately. Everyone who is illegal....

It’s so sweet that Pelosi got to see how loyal these people are to her.

"It's clear you don't want any answers," Pelosi told the group. "It's clear." Pelosi then walked out of the press conference and told reporters outside, "They don't want the Dream Act."~~~~~~~~~~They want the whole enchilada!

No good deed goes unpunished.

Hilarious. And this Demonicrat dementiac claims to be a leader?

[McCarthysGhost]

4d chess?

[DoughtyOne]

Dreamers are angry.

Conservatives are angry.

Hell, just send them home.

[Williams]

There is no way to satisfy the left, and I mean no way whatsoever. They are radical kooks who gladly will turn on each other forever.

[tumblindice]

"I hear deported people."

[CatOwner]

Staged.

Laws, We Don't Need No Stinking Laws

[AmericanMermaid]

They probably want her job! LOL!

" "We are immigrant youth, undocumented and unafraid,"

Illegal is breaking the law which makes these illegals felons.

[SunTzuWu]

They want the whole enchilada!

Isn't that racist?? You can't just go and say enchilada to a mexican. Cultural misappropriation or something...

[elpadre]

“young?” - just how young are they?

America's first failed state?

[for-q-clinton]

It doesn’t make them felons. I’m pretty sure they are misdemeanors. Worse than a traffic ticket but not as bad has grand larceny. Unless they do it twice...then it’s a felony I believe.

[Del Rapier]

This country has had a lot of Failed States....California will neither be the First or the Last.

I realize journalists are often dumber than dirt, but somebody should clue the author in that Obama didn’t “enact” anything. He merely waved his magic pen and made it so. Constitution and existing immigration laws be damned.
