The Spokesman-Review ^ | April 21, 2017 | Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Young immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and now here illegally can “rest easy,” President Donald Trump said Friday, telling the “dreamers” they will not be targets for deportation under1 his immigration policies.

Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with the Associated Press, said his administration is “not after the dreamers, we are after the criminals.”

Bullshit! The President promised me that they'd ALL go home! He has the executive authority to make it happen!

Screw "compassionate conservatism"!

It’s definitely why I voted for him - dreamers did NOT.

I don't know which is worse. Reading comments here tonight from alleged conservative freepers like Smoking Joe or hearing the big "get" for Tucker Carlson replacing O'Reilly on Monday is a Kaitlin Bruce Jenner interview. 😧😄

“Dreamers” are this nation’s nightmares. Throw all illegal invaders out. Enough with misguided, soft-headed compassion.

WORD!

I have to think you are a paid shill for illegal immigration.

Well then I have to think that you are an unpaid shill for the failing #NeverTrump "movement".

Did Trump promise to rescind Obama's Dreamers exec orders on day one?

Yes.

I'll take your word for it.

Did Trump do that on day one or day 90?

No.

I'll take your word for that, too.

I am still waiting.

Don't hold your breath.

Oh noes! You mean Donald Trump isn't perfect? Woe is us (wrings hands)!

How about paying some attention to what the President has done, including making yuge progress in the area of—wait for it—illegal immigration!

Poor little baby! Why don't you take your little #NeverTrump ball and go home, and throw a big #NeverTrump tantrum there, K?

It's astounding that you would whine about one shortfall on the President's part so far, and completely disregard the incredible progress that is being made in so many areas, including—wait for it—illegal immigration!

The #NeverTrump crowd has officially jumped the shark. They've become a caricature. Is this the best they can do—trying to criticize President Trump on the illegal immigration issue, of all things? Haw haw! I've never seen such petulant, petty armchair quarterbacking.

If there's one issue that President Trump has been addressing aggressively, with excellent results so far, it's—wait for it—illegal immigration!

Did anyone actually ever listen to what Trump said during the campaign?

Yeah, I did. He said, "They've got to go."

Just what the hell does that mean to you?

The Never Trumpers are always lurking in the background, poised to rear their ugly heads whenever they sense they can go into "I told you so" mode on the slightest pretext. In the end, they are always proven wrong!

I wonder what Bruce Jenner will have to say on Monday. I have a feeling Tucker is going to talk mostly politics and not about Bruce's obsession with pretending to be a girl.

"Get your asses on the bus."

I'm sorry, but the President seems to be signaling the exact opposite, which is very disturbing.

Wow Sargon, where did you ever get the idea that “hold President Trump to his promises = #NeverTrump’ism”?!?

I didn't get that idea.

Nitpicking the President on the Dreamer issue—"promise" or not—is the epitome of #NeverTrump hysteria, especially when considered in context of the fact that President Trump has been making excellent progress in the area of combating—wait for it—illegal immigration!

It's the veritable height of disingenuous nitpicking. Of all things to second-guess President Trump on, they're going to choose one aspect of illegal immigration? Really?

It's just comical...

The fate of the democratic party depends on him doing just that.

Please elaborate. I have no idea what you mean.

I don't have any interest in a Bruce Jenner interview. Never a big fan of O'Reilly but this seems like a weak leadin to a new Fox chapter. I kind of enjoyed The Blacklist until last night when the already unbelievable frail old lady known as a super human "cleaner" for Reddington became a lesbian complete with a mouth kiss for her love interest. Entertainment options continue to shrink. 😄

STUPID IS THE DEFAULT

The Wall is now a Fence.

Deportation is cancelled if you just avoid misdemeanors.

Communist Jared is acting Chief of Staff.

Obamacare 2.0 just needed bandaids.

Tax Cuts are impractical this decade.

Flood our borders, to help these refugee victims.

Admiral Ackbar:

I would agree except the quotes are corroborated elsewhere.

However, I DO believe Trump's soft rhetoric toward Dreamers is a trap for the pro-amnesty crowd. Our President is always thinking ahead, and planting bear traps for others.

Bookmark; I’m mostly happy with Trump’s presidency so far. Watching the discussion here. He’s had a plateful; he’s been stellar on most issues.

I believe you're right.

He will have several hoops for them to jump through including paying up ALL back taxes on earnings.

If They've been paid in cash and there's NO record of income then they will have to pay a large FIXED FINE amount.

Citizenship will NOT be FREE under Trump.

I hate to break up your amnesty party be dealing with illegal immigrants i.e. deporting them, does not require one new piece of legislation. Just a will to enforce the current law.

Looks like the Mexicans have stopped laughing.

Speech By Adolf Hitler, Berlin, September 30, 1942

“There was a time when the Jews in Germany also laughed at my prophecies. I do not know whether they are still laughing today, or whether they have been cured of laughter. But take my word for it: they will stop laughing everywhere.” (quoted in A J Mayer, Why Did the Heavens Not Darken: The “Final Solution” in History. London: Verso, 1990, p. 344)
