The American people who elected DJT to drain the swamp DO NOT WANT TO GRANT AMNESTY. PERIOD. END OF STORY. Congress has been beating this dead horse since 2007.

I agree. Dreamers do not deserve special rewards. They should be deported, all of them. No illegal alien should ever be allowed into the military.

I don’t know anything about Kelly and this Florida bimbo. Is he being blackmailed?

I agree with you. I”m not bleeding heart, by any stretch of the imagination, but I think some exceptions should be made.

If someone came here, made it thru the system and is giving back in some way...IE Cop, Fireman, Nurse, Doctor, US military, STEM job...then they get a pass.

Anyone else that has made it thru the system and reaped bennies, get out the checkbook and pay some back. And, no one else receives anything, again. No more taxpayer bennies.

No more taxpayer money to the refugee resettlement companies(how they scammed that, perplexes me).

As for the ones that came here under obama, BACK. Each and every single one of them, BACK. No questions. Nothing. They go back. I don’t care if one of them is on the way to curing cancer, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, bringing peace to the middle east. Let them do it, from wherever they came from.

However, one last caveat. If the Left, with their media elite, leftist philanthropist, leftist billionaires, celebrities, corporations, US Chamber of Commerce, ANTIFA, BLM, academics, and anyone else you can think of, are so kind, caring and compassionate, want to foot the bill, by all means let them. Let them pay for everything. Have Soros, Steyer, Gates and the rest set up a fund with which to pay the freight of all the immigrants and relieve the US taxpayer. And the immigrant kids get to go to the same schools as all of their children. Lets see how kind, caring and compassionate they are, when they have to write the checks.

IMO to give amnesty to any, much less the “Dreamers” is opening Pandoras box. As cruel as it seems to take a stand against those innocents that had no choice but to go along with their parents illegal act, it can’t become sanctified due the consequences of doing so.

They are illegal, and that’s all there is to it. We can’t take them all in. Especially as there isn’t any reason they can’t remain in their own country.

Previous Administrations allowed them to stay for decades and that was a tacit statement that they were not going to be sent off - reality bites but sometimes, “accommodations” have to be made to prevent what might be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Try to picture that you were born here 25 years ago and it’s all you ever knew - went to school, maybe college, might have a wife and kids of your own and be in a home you are buying, and someone comes along and says you don’t belong here and kicks you out and into an alien environment. If you think you ‘would cope”, picture it happening to your kids or grand-kids.

So Kelly isn’t smart enough to remove less than a million when we have all this tracking information on American citizens? He is either a liar or a collaborator with the Democrats.

Hard to come to any other conclusion. But why has Trump not noticed what Kelly is doing?

I had freezer yesterday use the very best weasel word argument to try and show that Trump never really said he would deport all of them. Those Seditious Judges gave him cover I guess.

I would trade amnesty for 1 million dreamers for a annual reduction in LEGAL immigration of 75% to 250,000, plus a 90% reduction in refugee settlement.

You will take what they give you.

2 Thes: 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2 Thes: 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2 Thes: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I think we are fighting the wrong battle, or at the least, have a myopic view of the battlefield.

We are not fighting at all, that is the problem. Right now the ball is in Trump's court. His lateral to Kelly and Tillerson was a bad play. Fact is he has too many enemies within and he better sweep them out while he still can.

Everyone here knows how hard he has worked and all the good things he has already accomplished but they can all be easily undone by freshly minted democratic voters.

Most Freepers understand the power of compound interest but seem to overlook the power of compound birth rate.

I doubt it. The bimbo story goes back to his days as head of Southern command when the FBI started investigating emails when the bimbo complained that Paula Broderick was threatening her. The emails led to the Petraeus scandal. When they found tens of thousands of emails from the bimbo to kelly and the military opened an investigation of him he promptly retired.

And how about the 29 million other illegals in the country currently? And their distant and imagined relatives from the homeland? And their offspring? And their distant cousins’ offspring? And the dreamers’ relatives and offspring? Just how much welfare can the country dish out?

Some GOP characters may come up with the "compromise" of allowing the dreamers to stay and work but not vote. I'll bet you have thought of this, but I will say it anyway. Such a restriction, even if it passed congress, would be at best temporary. There would follow the predictable MSM campaigns, lawsuits, and finally 50 million new Dem, or worse, voters.

Whoever thought up this "dreamer" strategy was diabolically clever.

What problem?

Enforcing the people's laws, made by our representatives, is not a problem. It's a solution.

No - NO MORE ‘REWARDS FOR BREAKING AMERICAN LAW’. No voting, no citizenship... no rewards for breaking our laws.

RE:”Whoever thought up this “dreamer” strategy was diabolically clever.”

Given that the courts approved this current system created by Obama alone, why the need to pass an amnesty bill now anyway?

So they can march and protest and sign up for even more government handouts?

Right now it sounds like some are a bit worried.
Good.
An Incentive for them to behave.

Right now they get to birth kids here who get free school, meals, health care, ...at our expense and eventually vote.

They should be grateful.

No, they shouldn’t be grateful—they should be deported.

That was Trump’s promise. And there are at least 30 million more who should be deported with them.

Worried about jobs for our less skilled people as driveless trucks, etc., come on line? Let’s just solve it by kicking out the illegals populating so many of our low-skill jobs. The average income and skill level of our country will rise. With a decline in the crowds, we’ll have need for less infrastructure investment. And we can head more on the path of, say, Switzerland, with a high-skill and wealthy workforce, than say, South Africa with a low-skill workforce or France with a population being transformed by Islamists and others expecting handouts because of skin color or last name.
