It’s a humanitarian disaster scene all over, Jim. The comment about DACA luring “Dreamers” is at most only part true. DACA lured their FAMILIES into either dragging or (more cruelly) sending them over.
It never would have happened in a better world but it did. And plenty of America of both parties was there nodding and winking it over no matter what the “polling” said.
Now comes the task of unwinding a folly that has entangled many human souls. The wall, the wall, most certainly the wall. Make it stop. But the disposition of the rest is happening before an America that thought “how cute” when Disney aired a 60’s TV special showing the ocarina playing orphan Mexican kid sneaking in to his US citizen aunt in Tucson. One would have to be a monster not to empathize.
At the same time even hardshell traditionalists shouldn’t be too upset. Donald has focused a national spotlight on “Dreamers.” That leaves the rest out in the cold, out of the sympathetic circle. If a “Dreamers” amnesty (to turn them into permanent resident visa holders) and a Wall is had from this, it will be a victory.
Durbin is Chuck’s main butt buddy these days - Trump is doing what we thought would be impossible and putting them in their place.....
Do you expect the Dims to start singing “We Shall Overcome” in Spanish?
