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.

Adios!
Self deportation is the best deportation.
WINNING!
Oh, heaven forfend!.

BYE!

Some threat!
Libs always say they will leave, but never do.
Hey. C’ ya.
We don’t want or need people in this country that dumb.
Given proper assurance that they would not come back, I would be happy to buy a bus ticket to the nearest border for one of them. I am sure others would offer a helping hand to get the remainder out. In fact they should not wait to be insulted by Congress; just leave now.
It also proves Illegals know damn well the Democrats aren’t fighting for them out of compassion. Truth Prevails more and more each day!

“Still waiting for Hollywood types to leave the country since W was elected.”
Yes, the only ones who leave are those escaping criminal prosecution for sex crimes! Can you say Roman Polanski?
Promises, promises...
Well, ‘bye.
Hell they threatened to leave when Reagan was elected! Streisand made big deal out of it as you would expect. She was only became the top paid actress in Hollywood during the 80’s, go figure.

Wonderful news!

That’s what you call a win win.
