advantage of the program to get drivers licenses, go to college and launch careers..

Ending the income tax would do the same thing.

We won't need the wall if this passes congress...

We need a physical barrier because Trump will not always be President. But you knew that.

Any Dreamer bill must fully fund The Wall. And create some kind of reimbursement system whereby Mexico pays for it. The President has a veto pen.

End DACA and build the wall. No compromise.

So those kids never received any public assistance benefits because they weren’t legally entitled to? Good to know!

If Trump is using this as leverage (and I disagree with him here if he does, I prefer he just reverses the EO and tell Congress to pound sand), then he better get the following from Congress BEFORE he signs DACA legislation:

- Full funding for the border wall
- 14th Amendment interpretation to end to anchor babies
- End to sanctuary cities and states
- No taxpayer benefits to any illegals
- Transfer all illegals serving time in jails and state prisons to GITMO
- End the refugee program
- 25-year Moratorium on all legal immigration

Watch how fast amnesty passes...no one is going to try and stop it. Contrast with repeal of Ocare, tax reform (removing tax safe havens and exemptions) and fixing infrastructure and he wall. Congress are where the enemies go to destroy the country

This was promoted by by Ted Kenedy and led to family association chain migration. And led to high rates of illegal migration as well, because families covered for and housed the illegals while applying for legal status. There was no enforcement in the 1985 act. It did however, establish the democrats as the party of illegal immigration and this is because the immigrants themselves became democrats.

Trump is establishing two things here:
1. You cannot change immigration law with a proclamation
2. Congress will need to stop illegal immigration with a wall if they want to clear the way for DACA personnel to stay.

There should never be a moratorium on the immigration of beautiful women.

LOL! Some folks try so hard to visit the sins of the father on the children. By your logic, they are right - we are no good slave owners by proxy.

Who gave them those "benefits"? Same government that tacitly said they were good to go. Not saying that it's right they are here, but for a lot of them it may be even more wrong to kick them out.

Some folks have such a narrow view it's a wonder they don't have bruises all over from slamming into things. There's the knee-jerk-I'm-so-righteous-F-them-all effect rippling all over the place because some folks get a bit emotional they can't actually open their eyes/minds enough to actually see the big picture of reality.

Willing to kick young folks out because their parents broke the law, but were aided and abetted by the government and yet would probably cringe at turning cats out if someone dropped them off and they fed them for a while before deciding they didn't want them.

Everyone wanting everyone else to adhere to a strict sense of personal responsibility but not wanting to have to follow their own "high standards" - how about you do as your screen name suggests and

Donate to FR

else you have no standing to bitch about others living on your dime....
