TRUMP SCORES BY OKAYING DREAMERS
http://www.catholicleague.org ^ | 06/16/2017 | Bill Donohue

President Trump is going to shield from deportation those young people who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents, the so-called Dreamers. He is to be commended for doing so.

In the decision announced late yesterday, the president has made good on his pledge, made two months ago, that he is “not after the Dreamers.” Indeed, he said in April, “The dreamers should rest easy.” Pointedly, he drew a bright line between those young people who did not willfully break the law, and others. He made it clear that “we are after the criminals.”

President Trump was in office for just over a month when he rethought the position he took as a presidential candidate. “To me, it’s one of the most difficult subjects I have,” he said, “because you have these incredible kids.”

The ruling, which was announced by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, means that 750,000 young people will not be deported, though they are not being granted residency status. If one of the Dreamers commits a crime, he could have his status revoked.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will cheer this decision. On December 22, 2016, Bishop Joe Vásquez, chairman of the bishops’ Committee on Migration, supported legislation to protect the Dreamers.

But not everyone will be happy—anti-Catholics such as Ann Coulter will be livid. Every time anyone in the Catholic Church speaks about immigration, she goes off the bat.

In September 2015, after Pope Francis said that immigrants helped build the United States, Coulter said, “This is why the Founders distrusted Catholics.” She added that the Catholic Church was “largely built by pedophiles.” In April 2016, she accused the pope of running “a huge multinational that protects subordinates when they rape little boys.”

“This is who Ann Coulter is: she is a raging anti-Catholic bigot. It’s about time conservatives stopped defending her. She has more in common with the likes of Kathy Griffin than she does rank-and-file conservatives.”

No problem when they’re illegal when it fills the coffers.

He lied to us. If you get amnesty, and continues to give amnesty, illegal aliens, this is a lie. Fail. Or as Trump says on Twitter, Sad.

I'm beginning to think Trump is a con man. A phoney. A fraud.

Broken Promise.

There should be a time limit not more than a few months in the future by which time “Dreamers” will have had to register. How can there be rational calls for compassion toward them when they ignore the requirement that they register?

If this is true, I am surprised he did not get something in return. He should have left it on the table to get other things out of the Dems.

A ton of progress has been made on this issue and you are complaining?

Myself, I can't see how you take a kid that has grown up in the U.S. since early grade school and then years later put him on a plane and say there you go, enjoy your home country.

We’ve got to make it to where anchor babies aren’t allowed to stay either. If a parent has not been in the USA legally for 1+ years, the child is not here legally either.

Administration revokes blocked program to protect immigrant parents (Team Trump kills D.A.P.A.)

The Washington Post ^ | 06/15/2017 | Alicia A. Caldwell

The Trump administration is formally revoking an Obama-era program intended to protect immigrant parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation. The Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program was announced by the Obama administration in 2014 but was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states challenged the program’s legality in federal court. Kelly formally revoked the policy memo that created the program, which mirrored an earlier effort to protect young immigrants in the country illegally from deportation on June 15.

--------------------------------------------- Homeland Security John Kelly formally revoked a policy memo that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program. The revocation came on the fifth anniversary of another effort that has protected hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation.

The program to protect parents was announced by President Barack Obama in November 2014 but was never fully launched. It was intended to keep the immigrant parents safe from deportation and provide them with a renewable work permit good for two years, but it was blocked by a federal judge in Texas after 26 states filed suit against the federal government and challenged the effort’s legality. Republicans decried the effort at “backdoor amnesty” and argued that Obama overstepped his authority by protecting a specific class of immigrants living in the United States illegally

If the parents are deported...the children will follow....Trump wins again.

A broken promise is a lie. Does something good change a lie? Seriously, do you tell your kids that? Does you spouse dismiss a lie that way?

anti-Catholics such as Ann Coulter

Count me with Ann.

Protestants like us thought up and built the United States. The entire South American cesspool is the result of corruption and gangsterism sanctioned by the Catholic church to this day.

And it exposes what modern Spaniard immigration into the United States is really all about: immivasion to drown the U.S. and turn it into another horrifying corruptocracy like Mexico or Venezuela.

And all brought to us by the bitter Catholic Church, muttering in anger that the upstart Protestants could do a better job without some Latin guy sending out orders by smoke signals.

PS, for those of you who will obviously be furious about the prior post, here's the "leadership" in California now, thanks to y'all:

California State Senate President Pro Tem, Kevin De Leon:

Xavier Becerra, Attorney General of California, appointed by Jesuit agitator Jerry "Moonbeam the Jesuit" Brown:

Alex "I went to MIT as an Affirmative Action baby" Padilla, Secretary of State (!) of the State of California:

Tony Rendon, Speaker of the State Assembly:

That's it folks. Game, Set, Match: the decision makers of the government of the nightmare State of California are 100% Catholic and 100% NOT American. You wonder why it's bad here? These are the guys who did it. They built a nightmare state in Mexico and they plan to do it again in Alta Califas.

Gosh, ain't it great being ruled by Catholics imposing Mexican Socialist gangsterism?

And you want us to call these guys "Americans"?!

Does the Catholic Church have a conflict of interest on this issue?

This fake `news’ that President Trump has amnestied the DACAs is posted in some variation here about every day now, followed by the usual outraged comments.

Here’s the straight poop:
https://www.dhs.gov/archive/deferred-action-childhood-arrivals

“As the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to focus its enforcement resources on the removal of individuals who pose a danger to national security or a risk to public safety, including individuals convicted of crimes with particular emphasis on violent criminals, felons, and repeat offenders, DHS will exercise prosecutorial discretion as appropriate to ensure that enforcement resources are not expended on low priority cases, such as individuals who came to the United States as children and meet other key guidelines.”

IOW, `Be patient, kids. We’re busy now going after your Uncle Pacos and Tia Marias, the serial drunk drivers and welfare frauds. We’ll get around to you. But keep your noses clean in the meantime if you don’t want an early ticket home.’

Swooning Susies, take a ticket for the fainting couch.

“She has more in common with the likes of Kathy Griffin than she does rank-and-file conservatives.”

A bit of empty hyperbole.

Don’t think that assertion is accurate.

You’ve got a lot of credibility, not.

The Catholics support the illegals? Follow the money.

How much money is Catholic Charities receiving to "help" these "Dreamers?"
