Dreamers Threaten Congress, We’ll Leave the United States if No DACA Deal Is Reached
Conservative Tribune ^ | February 9, 2018 | Benjamin Arie

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… we’ll 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 isn’t 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 can’t 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.

Ever watch the rise and fall of Rome on Youtube? 9 part series and the most glaring and obvious reason why it fell? The army conscripted FOREIGNERS/IMMIGRANTS into their ranks who did’t care about the empire.

Awesome!! Let Congress bicker for the next year and we get what we want anyway!

This PROVES these are not the best and brightest people we want immigrating. In fact, this is so stupid we want them to go.

*pioneers

*colonists

Immigrants, including the bulk of my ancestors, came to an established nation and built their own lives on its foundation.

Near as I can tell, only my lineal family (and the legendary, probably fictional Oneida-in-the-woodpile) were on the continent before 1700, and even the English among them arrived to a British colony in full operation.

CRimmigrants are a whole ‘nother story.

I admire Democrats use of words. Killing babies = Choice. Welfare = Entitlements. Illegals = Dreamers. Democrats know Propaganda, unlike Republicans which only care about lining the pockets of their Masters.

Oh come on you people, show some compassion. Why don’t we take up a collection and buy some business class seats one way to Mexico City or Guadalajara as a going away presents.
