DACA illegals can’t speak English, study shows
Washington Times ^ | Janury 3, 2017 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Fully a quarter of illegals who are eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program can’t speak English at all — 46 percent can only speak it a little.

That’s according to a 2016 study from the Center for Immigration Studies, coming to light once again because President Donald Trump’s administration is due to end DACA this March. And you know what these findings mean, don’t you?

It’s not your imagination.

That’s a far cry from what amnesty types tell. Those who want open borders, all the time make it seem as if all immigrants are simply hardworking American wannabes, and those sneaking across the border, or bringing their minor-aged children across the border, are only on a mission to become good citizens of these United States.

Apparently, not.

It would seem step number one to becoming a citizen of a foreign nation would be to learn the new language, yes? Those who don’t would seem to be separating themselves in a crucial cultural way.

But the CIS study is not the most disturbing finding about the DACA crowd. The Congressional Budget Office just reported that almost one-fifth of illegals eligible for DACA would wind up taking food stamps within 10 years.

So not only are DACAs non-English speakers, failing to assimilate with U.S. society in this all-too-important manner. But they’re living off the taxpayer dime.

Nowhere but in America. Certainly not in Mexico, or points south of the border. For certain illegals, it seems, the American dream has little to do with America and much to do with handouts and entitlements.

Wait a second: I thought Obama told us they were all PhDs or Medal of Honor winners.

Fair enough. Make that a litmus test. If you’ve been here since age X for Y number of years and you’ve not learned any English...bye.

Please understand. I’m an immigrant from the UK. I came here during my mid-teens. This country has been wonderful to me. I’ve been a citizen for 18 years. I understand what it means to assimilate. My son became a U.S. Marine. I believe this is the greatest country the world has ever known. I pay more than most in taxes.

There are those that were brought here, not by their choice, that have integrated, learned English, are law abiding, and are productive members of our society. I don’t believe it is in our best interests to get rid of those. It’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

You are buying the propaganda.
There are NO law-abiding illegal aliens.
Illegal employment and fraudulent documents are the least they MUST do illegally to remain here.
There are NO illegal aliens who do not speak the language of their home country.

No, I’m relying on my experience and listening to nobody. It’s called thinking for yourself. That you’re making absolute statements with zero considerations means, by default, it is flawed thinking.
