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.
Like the classic joke about being let go from a job — “You can’t fire me, I quit!” — the Velez sisters and other Dreamers seem to think that threatening to leave a country where they are staying illegally will somehow motivate lawmakers to keep them.

Call their bluff.
Like all liberals saying they would leave the country if Trump was elected and stayed...................
Ever watch the rise and fall of Rome on Youtube? 9 part series and the most glaring and obvious reason why it fell? The army conscripted FOREIGNERS/IMMIGRANTS into their ranks who did’t care about the empire.
PRAY its not passed!! GET OUT ILLEGALS!
You beat me! LOL
“’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.”
Start packin’, Hermana!
Awesome!! Let Congress bicker for the next year and we get what we want anyway!
This PROVES these are not the best and brightest people we want immigrating. In fact, this is so stupid we want them to go.
Well, okay, if you insist...

Immigrants, including the bulk of my ancestors, came to an established nation and built their own lives on its foundation.
Near as I can tell, only my lineal family (and the legendary, probably fictional Oneida-in-the-woodpile) were on the continent before 1700, and even the English among them arrived to a British colony in full operation.
CRimmigrants are a whole ‘nother story.
Promises, promises.
That’s really some THREAT
isn’t it ?
Wa Wa ha ha ha ha ha
I admire Democrats use of words. Killing babies = Choice. Welfare = Entitlements. Illegals = Dreamers. Democrats know Propaganda, unlike Republicans which only care about lining the pockets of their Masters.
Hasta la vista mucacho.

Oh come on you people, show some compassion. Why don’t we take up a collection and buy some business class seats one way to Mexico City or Guadalajara as a going away presents.
OH NO!!! We can't let that happen, can we? /s
Maybe it sounds more serious in Spanish.
WINNING!
Worst attempted threat ever!
