All Freepers were like that. Most still are. That’s why I thought immediately of ten Russian bots on here. I left FR for a while then decided something was def wrong.. that was not the FR I have known.
So hang in there.. know they are being paid to post here and everywhere else.
“Tramnesty”
What part of I have a heart for dreamers is hard to understand. His words, not ivanka or anyone else. His words, his political track record. We got anchor babies over the last wall debate.. we will get mass amnesty now and no Wall.
Nope, unless some really evil people behind the scenes start getting off'd. Not sure anyone has the balls to start such a war.
Except that trump said repeatedly during the campaign that dreamers need to go (as in be deported) because obamas exec order was illegal. To now encourage legalization thru legislation, including citizenship, is the exact opposite of what Trump campaigned on.
People smart enough to recall Trumps actual positions, rather than his current pronouncements are hardly Never Trumpers as some here have suggested. That insane and illogical reasoning belongs over at the Conservative Nuthouse where ANY criticism of trump or any of his appointees (like worthless jeff sessions) is considered treason by trolls.
Unfortunately, you do have people for whom loyalty to a political party or to an individual are more important than principle. You saw a lot of this with Bush supporters, who ignored, made excuses for, or openly defended policies in Bush that they would have never tolerated from a Democrat (including amnesty for illegals and liberalized immigration policies). If Trump signs a bill giving citizenship to Dreamers, I'm sure some people will twist themselves into pretzels defending it, or else they'll inform us that he's just playing 400 dimensional chess that we mere mortals can't fathom.
However, that doesn't mean I'm supposed to bury my head in the sand when Trump says or does things that I don't tolerate in any other politicians. When I cut and paste a verbatim quote from Trump's Twitter account stating that he did not want to see Dreamers deported, some of his more cult-like followers accused me of being a "liberal" posting "fake news" (are Trump's own words "fake news" when they don't like what they're hearing)?
Those ready to jump down Trump’s neck never do. They fall for every negative headline like lemmings over the cliff.
I believe that a citizen should be someone whose parent’s are citizens, and not just that the person is born here. It is way past time to change that.
Not in Favor of the Dreamer’s getting to jump the line - that’s just a beacon for people to get here illegally so that their children can become citizens without going through the process currently required to become a legal immigrant and citizen.
If this amnesty happens, Trump is done.
He certainly is. He’s selling us out.
