It might be the worst Mexican standoff in history. As the deadline to renew the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program approaches, some illegal immigrants are issuing a bizarre ultimatum: Pass a deal to extend DACA, or else
well leave the country.
Which is, of course, exactly what the law says anyway. Dreamers have already been living in the country illegally for years, but now apparently think that threatening to leave will somehow motivate Congress to give them what they want.
If a DACA extension isnt passed, I will leave. I will leave America as soon as possible, illegal alien Alex Velez declared to CNN. She and her sister Daniela are due to have their protected status expire on March 6.
Like the classic joke about being let go from a job You cant fire me, I quit! the Velez sisters and other Dreamers seem to think that threatening to leave a country where they are staying illegally will somehow motivate lawmakers to keep them.

Somebody help me out here, I’m not seeing the down side.
OK. Why wait?
This is the best threat I have ever received.
Good!
Still waiting for Hollywood types to leave the country since W was elected.
Challenge accepted!
This nation was founded and built by immigrants.
It is likely to be destroyed by immigrants.
“Oh, noze! Plee doan trow me in dat dey briar patch!”
YAY!
I don’t quite see the “loss” related to this threat.
You know, someone once asked me what the definition of “win-win” was...
Don’t go away mad, just go away. Better to be first.
LMAO
Don’t let the door knob hit ya, ...
How many FReepers rightly predicted that the government wouldn't have to round people up and expel them? It's called self-repatriation, and we will see it.
Letting DACA expire will help accomplish it.
Cutting off the freebies is another way to accomplish this.
See ya! Bye! DLTDHYOTWO etc
“Actually it makes sense if theyre talking to dems....Ill leave and then I cant illegally vote for you!!!”
Exactly! They aren’t threatening you and me. We don’t see a benefit in people coming here to expand the low skill labor market in order to make wages lower, commit crimes to make the sheep want more protection from the state, burden the welfare system so that we need to pay more to help those really in need, and vote Democrat because socialism makes more sense to them than it does to Americans. The ruling elite see all those things as a benefits so this is a legitimate threat to the ruling elite.
we have unConstitutional EO signed by an idiot who flaunted his PEN and PHONE and wiped his butt with the Constitution.

That’s what ineligible usurpers do.
Why should they respect the document that says they can’t be President and yet they are anyway?
