Rush on amnesty for DREAMers: “Nobody’s going to win anything by deporting a bunch of kids”

“Small price to pay to get the problem under control,” he says of amnesty for hundreds of thousands of young illegals, via the Daily Rushbo. Am I awake?

I kid. This shouldn’t be shocking — if you’re a pragmatist, not a polemicist. Point one: Trump has been hinting at amnestizing DREAMers for months. Usually that takes the form of gooey pronouncements about having a big heart and how “great people that are here that have done a good job … should be far less worried” about deportation than criminals. Lately, though, the White House has showed its hand more clearly by declining to suspend Obama’s DACA program for DREAMers as part of its executive overhaul of immigration policy. All Rush is doing here is getting in line with a Republican president he already spends much of his time defending.

Point two: An immigration deal with Democrats that would trade serious enforcement upgrades for amnesty for DREAMers does make a lot of sense. If Trump needs to horse-trade with Democrats to get 60 votes in the Senate for more Border Patrol, more sophisticated means of tracking immigrants internally, and so forth, legalization for America’s most sympathetic class of illegals is an obvious possible concession, especially since Obama’s already granted them

Rush should know better. You give these "kids" amnesty, then the Left will whine that their parents and relatives should be given amnesty too.

Deport all illegals! No more anchor babies!

Clearly, the “anchor baby” rules needs to be firmly, legally eliminated.

Got to pick your battles. To start with concentrate on gaining control of the borders and deporting some of the millions of other illegals. Force employers to fire the millions working here illegally and hire U.S. citizens.

How about this Rush: Trump gets the GOP senate to nuke the democrats and deport everyone that is here through illegal means or “grey areas.” Including dreamers and anchor babies, and extended families. How about that? That’s how Trump won. By promising to go after illegal immigrants. Deport EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

He will gain support from Americans and legal immigrants.

Yup - and meanwhile the more Border Patrol, more sophisticated means of tracking immigrants internally won't actually happen. The Left bargains like Stalin: what's ours is ours, what's yours is negotiable.

No amnesty. Trump will be one term president if he gives amnesty to any illegal alien.

How is it good for the kids to keep them here while their parents are sent back to Mexico? Or how is it good for the taxpayers to pay all the expenses their parents should be paying or doing all the work that their parents should be doing?

Soooo Rush! If someone breaks into your home and steals your “stuff” and they give your “stuff” to their kids, you are ok with their kids keeping your “stuff” once the parents gets caught????

I DO NOT agree with Rush on this one...

To bad that you got pregnant and thought of having your kid here thinking that you could just waltz in and give the kid citizenship and because your ILLEGAL and broke OUR laws, you think you have a right to stay here...NO YOU AND YOUR KID DO NOT!!!

We just had a ‘dreamer’ kill someone yesterday or today...

AND my understanding of the 14th Amendment is it was given to the slaves AFTER slavery was abolished so their children could become Citizens...it has NOTHING to do with waltzing across ILLEGALLY to drop you and your kid on us!!!

Trump will give these kids amnesty and he won’t get one second of approval from the Democrats for doing it. Book it.
