EXCLUSIVE: Whatever Trump does, Dreamers likely to be deported soon
The Sacramento Bee ^ | January 22nd, 2017 | By Franco OrdoƱez

WASHINGTON - Young immigrants currently protected from deportation will be quickly removed from the country by President Donald Trump’s plan to boost deportations, even if the new president doesn’t target them directly, according to a former senior immigration official in the Obama administration.

Democratic leaders and advocates within the immigration community are bracing for Trump on Monday to eliminate several of Obama’s executive actions on immigration, including the deferred action program, known as DACA, that protects an estimated 750,000 immigrants brought here illegally as children.

Trump is not expected to immediately launch raids targeting the students, but fears among so-called Dreamers could grow as Trump executes plans to deport more than 2 million immigrants with any form of criminal records. In the process he’s inevitably going to sweep up many DACA students who will unlikely have the safeguards to protect themselves.

But, for children who came to the US as infants or toddlers and have grown up knowing nowhere else, it would be cruel to deport them to their countries of origin and probably dangerous for them IMHO.

It was cruel to facilitate their staying here as illegal immigrants.

If you had to go through what I, as a natural born American, went through to adopt an infant from another country, you'd have no sympathy for these people, what-so-ever.

Kind of makes us BIGGER suckers if they’re making money and paying taxes towards all they got and we kicked them out.

And comparing adults to 3 year olds is kind of far out there :)

You would send an old friend of mine’s mother back to Italy at 80 because she’s not a citizen, wouldn’t you? :)

Is she muslim? ;o)

....but maybe they could serve in the military or pay a monstrous fine and not be able to vote?

Nope,no sale.You may not realize it but you're reading from the ACLU Playbook.Every wetback goes...regardless of how white (or dark)...regardless of how young (or old)...healthy (or sick)...arrived yesterday (or in 1928)....perfect English (of no English)....

Get the picture?

They aren’t paying taxes, they are gaming the system and getting tax refunds even when they don’t pay in.
We are chumps.

How are we going to deport the parents of that 3 year old and not deport the kid?

I’m looking at those who have been educated here, attend universities here, or have contributed

In the place of an American?

“Boy, I hate to admit it, but somebody who’s 20 or older and was brought here as a kid, this is all they know.”

Germany invaded France in WWII. Germans brought their kids. France failed to eject them until 1960. Should the Germans be able to continue to stay in France or should France deport them back to Germany?

Mexico invaded the US. I couldn’t care less about the children they brought here to colonize and take over the US.

People should never be rewarded for invading America, and if kids are allowed to stay, this sends a bad message to others.

I see quite a few here think we should forgive some of the Criminal Invaders if they do....

What do you all want to DO FOR ME??

I Spent $10,000 AMERICAN DOLLARS and 1 1/2 YEARS to get my WIFE(UK Citizen) a GREEN CARD THE LEGAL WAY.

You all Pony up $1 Million Dollars Tax Free to ME and I might Reconsider, until that happens they can ALL KISS MY ASS ON THE WAY BACK HOME and anyone that wants them to stay can LEAVE ALSO!!!

You wont be zotted. I think if they get rid of anchor babies from here forward, and kids that came here as children do something like honorable military service or some measurable positive contribution, then yeah, fast track them. I think most people here are cool with that, people are just sick of the entitlement culture

Well the scary part about your argument is that you are right that STRONG border security presidents aren’t guaranteed except for four years right now. Hopefully 8.
