Since my thread was posted after yours and might get deleted, I want to put my response to the article here:
Trump is of course following immigration law. The left, however, is having a meltdown right now on Twitter. Trump is a monster, he’s cruel, he’s evil, he’s not Christian, we’re a step away from concentration camps (seriously), etc.
First of all, this program was blocked by the Supreme Court after 26 states sued the Obama Administration and was never fully implemented, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good rage.
Second of all, we are a nation of borders and laws. Nations are defined by borders. If we aren’t going to enforce immigration law when people are here illegally, why in the world is it fair to make other people go through the process of coming in through immigrations and customs enforcement and why in the world is it fair to make other people who are trying to become legal citizens go through a long, tedious process?
This would allow 4 million people to stay illegally with work permits, but we know the end goal is amnesty. This program would incentivize people to come in and have a child that is an “anchor” because, why not come and have a child here as it opens up a chance for benefits and a chance to get to stay?
It’s a sad situation, but ultimately, if people break domestic law, we don’t refrain from enforcing it if they have children.
You could tell a leftist that and his/her head would explode.
Call me dim-witted, but I want to rephrase your comment so that I understand it. Please, no offense, but let me know if I'm totally off the mark.
if people break domestic law, we shouldn't (won't?)refrain avoid from enforcing it even if they have children who were born here.
IOW, and I keep repeating this on various posts: REPEAL THE ANCHOR BABY (14th) AMENDMENT! Turn off the benefits of having a kid here, and a lot, if not most, will think twice about sneaking in.
