Graham, Durbin 'encouraged' by Trump's comments on Dreamers
The Hill ^ | 12/7/2016 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 12/07/2016 11:14:46 AM PST by Kevin C

Two senators said Wednesday they are "encouraged" by President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to reach a deal on some undocumented immigrants.

“We’re encouraged by these comments by President-elect Trump — they present an opportunity to do the right thing for more than 744,000 young people who grew up here," Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said in a joint statement.

Trump told Time magazine that his administration would "work something out" for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children.

"They got brought here at a very young age," the real estate mogul said. "And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“we will work something out” - translation. “You were born here, you can go home with your parents or you can stay but your parents are going home”

Deport them all and end anchor baby status. One parent needs to be an American citizen.

I think Trump is doing the smart thing: Placating his enemies while he waits to take the reins.

These are the Obama amnesties that he VOWED to get rid of. If he buckles on these, I’m out.

There is a REASON the evil administration has CONSPIRED WITH MEXICO to bring unaccompanied minors into the country, for the purpose of MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR FUTURE ADMINISTRATIONS TO DEPORT THEM.. THIS IS ALL A SCAM AND TRUMP SHOULD SEE IT FOR IT HAS BEEN.. A SCAM TO ENRICH MEXICO WITH FUTURE REMITTANCE MONEY as their LEADING source of REVENUE!!!

Mexico gets the REMITTANCE PAYMENTS.
Democrats get their VOTERS.

Children used a PAWNS to enrich Mexico and for Democrats' future voters.

What about ANCHOR BABIES, TRUMP. Put a STOP to that, too. It's all a F***ING SCAM, TRUMP!

Trumps emotion-based utterances on rewarding illegals is very worrisome.

Trump is a master at firing off chaff to confuse and misdirect opponents. I hope that's what he's doing here.

Our dream for our children and grandchildren inTexas is that they would not have to speak Spanish to get a job in Texas. It is wrong that we are forced to subsidize and accommodate millions of squatters who have no right to be here.

I think Trump is just saying whatever he has to say to try and keep the deranged lunatics at bay until after he’s safely sworn in.

Thanks for the “concern”.

The right are the easiest group to send into a tailspin.

No wonder the GOPe had such an easy time.

Little cucks like Linda and other FODs (friends of Democrats) have been insulting & berating Trump, impugning his character and nevertrumping for over a year.

Securing our border is Trump’s rai·son d’ê·tre: the most important reason or purpose for someone or something’s existence.

He’s just being naughty and screwing with them.
Come time for them to lift the walnut shell, no bean and frowns and howls all around.

It just goes on and on ..... :-)

This is not new news. He stated as much in his town hall with Hannity. Asking the audience that very question:

"What would YOU do", re: these individuals.

mixed reaction from the crowd. Only one or two individuals stood up and said, out of the country, no quarter.

We shall see what we shall see.

“These are the Obama amnesties that he VOWED to get rid of. If he buckles on these, I’m out.”

JESUS $%@%$%@ CHRIST, can some of you let this man actually put his plan on the table first?

Is this something we can actually get, or is every twisted utterance from the MSM and Democrats what FR now dances to?

You all didnt send him there with a super majority, nor did some people get rid of his RINO opponents in congress.

You had better be happy with what he can get through, because he has advanced this issue more than 15 years of complaining here has pulled off.

Exactly. I live in NC which is overrun with illegals. My daughter finished elementary school, 5th grade last year. When she started kindergarten the students were mostly white and AA. By the time she graduated in June it was overwhelmingly illegal dreamers and she was the minority. I see them all the time in Walmart. Can’t speak a work of English. We were in a car accident in April. The hospital overpadded the hospital bill, charged 24,000 for a neck CT scan for my daughter. Even with insurance we owe a huge amount which we really can’t afford. The hospital price gouges to pay for all the illegal dreamers who get free care. My husband got on the phone with the billing department and told them he knew that’s what was going on. This is a huge issue with me. Trump better not waiver. I have no sympathy. Send them all home!

I think maybe half a dozen could go live with Linda. She could cook for them. Show them how to dress.

You can be up to age 31 to apply for Dreamer status. Most of them are adults now. Over 700,000 have been legalized under DACA. The approval rate was over 99.5% for all who applied.

The reality is that these Dreamers have been given SSNs, work permits, and in many cases driver's licenses depending upon the state. It will be very difficult to reverse it without a huge public fallout. Most of the public have swallowed the narrative of poor children being brought here by their parents. The law states that you just have to be here prior to age 16. It doesn't matter if you came here with your parents or arrived unaccompanied.

I can see Trump terminating the program immediately so no new "Dreamers" can be legalized. Since the DACA cards must be renewed every two years, he can say that at the time of renewal, the applicants will be fully vetted and then a determination will be made on an individual basis of whether you can stay here or not.

Obama's ICE also did not go after the illegal parents of DACA Dreamers. The parents were exempted from removal. That can stop immediately as well.
