President-elect Donald Trump says that he wants to work with Democrats on a "plan" to help illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era order -- echoing a similar push he attempted in 2019.
Trump was asked in an interview with NBC News on Sunday about "dreamers," an activist-preferred term for illegal immigrants who arrived as children, and whether they would be included in his plan for mass deportations.

Art of the deal don’t effing panic folks.
I’ll never get even the Dreamer excuses. Trump talks about how they don’t even know their home country’s language? Whose fault is that? That’s now our problem?
If your dad is stationed overseas on business or whatever, you can’t just demand the right to stay forever and be made a citizen. And your dad and his family were there legally!
If someone was brought to the U.S. many years ago as a child, and he has proven to be a fine upstanding resident, and he has not committed a crime, and he is not a BLM/antifa/Hamas supporter, and he is not on welfare, and he contributes to society, then we might negotiate some kind of legal residence status. Maybe in the same position as a foreigner overseas who applies for residency.
But there has to be a cut off date because of all the mischief under Obama/Biden. Maybe limited amnesty for people who arrived as children before 2000, since the mass Arab immigration began after 9/11 and has not assimilated.
Correct.
That sounds reasonable.
“and he has not committed a crime”
Entering our country illegally is a crime, so they have committed a crime on the federal level.
The thing is, there really needs to be a price for the left’s deliberate enabling of the migration of millions of illegals under Biden. That’s why, whatever leniency may or may not be negotiated for those who arrived prior to 2021, any and all who came in under Biden need to be sent back - period, regardless of whether or not they’re violent. Otherwise the left gets what they want.
That’s the game the left always plays. They overshoot, and after the public backlash, they’re still allowed to keep most of their ill-gotten gains, so in the long run it’s still worth it for them to do what they do. If they get away with half of what they attempt they still come out ahead and continue inching their agenda forward. For that reason alone, all the Biden illegals need to go back, and then some. The left’s agenda needs to be reversed, not just slowed down. So even if there is some limited amnesty for a small subset of illegals, the left shouldn’t be allowed to benefit demographically from all the Democrat voters they’ve intentionally allowed to enter the country illegally over the past 20+ years.
Trump had a great plan in his first term involving (a) deporting illegals that have broken the (ordinary) law while here; (b) a path to citizenship for law-abiding and taxpaying illegals, (c) justice for foreigners who have been waiting patiently overseas, (d) shifting legal immigration from “family reunion” to “merit,” and (e) ending birthright citizenship of the children of illegals.
In theory, there was something for everybody, including something positive and something negative for everybody.
But, the other side was opposed to compromise. They wanted it all, just like they want abortion until birth. Probably because they don’t want an actual political solution, but want to these issues to drive their voters to the polls.
But, now, with the prospect of a broad and permanent Republican majority (such as anything is permanent in politics), maybe the other side will be open to making a deal.
How old are these original “dreamers”? They must be in their 50s!
No sale. They’ve got to go back.
Do we consider the child a lawbreaker because his parents broke the law?
I dream of the day they’re loaded onto trains and hauled back to wherever their scurvy parents came from.
This!
before Trump became President, candidate Trump talked tough on deportation then he talked about getting rid of the “bad hombres.” Years ago but i remember. They’re all bad. And now the dreamers. I dream of them not being here. I really wish trump would be the bill in the china shop we need him to be. Just bring it all down. Screw the merchants and their need for slaves/ cheap labor.
“Entering our country illegally is a crime, so they have committed a crime on the federal level.”
Keep in mind that the ‘Dreamer’ category of illegals were minor children when their parents swam the Red River. They are citizens of their country of origin, not the USA. I’m not sure that one can say that as minors they are criminals.
Be that as it may I suggest that we give the now adult Dreamers (educated, employed, no criminal record, etc) one year to start their naturalization and five years to complete the process. Fail to do that and out you go. Hand them a check for the net worth of their assets (vehicles, home, etc) and a bus ticket to someplace South.
Yep. Floating DACA as "show me your cards", while also signaling, "Hey, I'm going to talk DACA while I deport these 3rd-wave scum and send others to the Mexican komfy kampfs. You can either bite on DACA or not, makes no difference to me, I'm going to deport a million criminals in 100 days."
For Dreamers who went K-12 in the US, we have already invested 120K into them. Send them back, we get nothing on our investment.
Make them join the Military to earn their citizenship.
ALL must go …… period !!!!!
