Pick the low fruit first.
Democrats will probably be back in power in 4 or 8 years, and we need to make progress quick.
I have no problem with those who have been raised here since young childhood and can prove it through school records being allowed to stay if they do certain things. Rule #1, NO government freebies.
Those who came recently need to be sent back ASAP.
Listening to statements from the white house briefings I’m not convinced Trump is going to ignore DACA. They just aren’t making it a priority and quite frankly why should they. There is already evidence though that they will eliminate DACA status quickly if need be so it’s more a political move to not highlight it. It’s the media that’s been highlighting it. Spicer said, it doesn’t mean we’re not going to we just haven’t gotten to it (I remember hearing this or something close to it during yesterday’s presser). The media is trying to box Trump in and it won’t work. Even if he allows some to stay I believe it will be much narrower a group
He Rush, because I know you read here, here’s what we win: all the entry level jobs that Mexicans steal from black people can be rightfully restored.
This is Paul Ryan CRAP.
Remember during the campaign, “American kids are dreamers” ?
How about we won’t deport them but they can never be citizens... and their families have to go back.
NO VOTING - EVER !
I’m not satisfied with the first part of the policy; the focus on illegals that have committed crimes is still pretty poor policy.
an illegal that has to first commit a crime before he draws ICE’s attention has more than likely already hurt someone. I’m sure we all remember what trump said when he announced; that they’re bringing rapist and murderers.
so, we’re talking about being okay with a rape or murder being the prerequisite for an illegal being deported. that really is the implication here.
that’s totally not what we heard early on.
I’d like to hear the whole transcript in relation to that one sentence.
Enforce existing law. Period.
I’m with Rush on this. I backed Trump from Day One first and foremost because of the illegal immigration issue, and I’ve been doing whatever I could against amnesty since the 2007 Bush debacle. In an ideal world, even DREAMers would be deported.
But, the main rationale against amnesty IMHO is not rewarding people who willfully violated our laws. The DREAMers did not willfully violate our laws.
On top of that, it’s a small price to pay for solving a problem that has festered for going on 40 years. The number one priority is to end illegal immigration. Some losses will have to be taken somewhere in order to do that, and the DREAMers are as good a place as any to take that loss.
Deport every one of them. Should a bank robber’s infant kid be able to keep the loot?
The President never said he is going to ‘amnestize’ the lot of them.
He said that a ‘hard look’ needs to be taken, that SOME of them are great people brought here through no fault of their own, etc.
That clearly indicates the President will be making decisions on a case-by-case basis.
The media was strangely silent as Mexico DEPORTED A BUNCH OF KIDS to the United States.. and while 0dunga proudly oversaw their arrival.
I’m CONVINCED that this is NOT Rush talking...although he may agree, to some degree or other (no clue here).
Basically Trump’s people know that sending back the ‘Dreamers’ (even if they are 25 year old killers belonging to MS13) will play bad, so they want to see how much room Trump has with his base.
My answer...maybe the following (just a thought). We take them if:
1) They can PROVE (conclusively) that they came here before they were 10 years old.
2) They haven’t (yet) killed anyone
3) They have some concept that the USA is not going to enslave them
4) (if they’re female) - they have enough class to marry a Gringo.
Also, they get ZERO rights to bring in ANYONE claiming to be direct or extended family (as I see it, the people that came to Ellis Island knew full well that their relatives would never get to come here through chain migration - if they really wanted to come here, they too could pay the money and take the risk to come here).
...then, maybe, we talk.
If Trump wants ANYTHING MORE - he is risking BREAKING his bond with his base. And if he breaks that bond, TRUMP will have to face Paul Ryan, Elizabeth Warren, and others that WANT HIS SCALP, alone - and he WILL be IMPEACHED, practically overnight.
I was going bat$hit crazy when I heard him say that today. NOOOOO!!!!
Going to call him tomorrow, and rip Mr. Sneardly a new one!!!
The last thing we need is another group of freaking America haters stabbing us in the back.
Wait until your second turn President Trump. Then wipe ‘em out.
You come into the country as a family unit, so leave as a family. Take care of your own children. Figure out how to re-enter legally.
However if Trump wants this issue I can live with it because I appreciate bigly what he is doing for this country.
Let them be on the back burner....Trump needs to stand tall and deport all the others FIRST!!
Nits make lice.
I’m sorry but if we give in on this we will ultimately lose.
