Dreamers Threaten Congress, We’ll Leave the United States if No DACA Deal Is Reached
Conservative Tribune ^ | February 9, 2018 | Benjamin Arie

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.

I feel the same way about this threat as I do anytime someone says they’re going on a hunger strike for whatever reason: Go right on.

Seriously, it hurts to laugh this much.

I must admit this post gave me the best laugh I’ve had in days. I completely forgot about this cover.

Euphemism is the stock and trade of Liberalism.

Liberalism couldn’t exist without it.

I beg to differ. This country was not built by immigrants. It was built by its citizens. Let’s not play into the lefts’ hand.

Cutting off the freebies is another way to accomplish this.

As well enforcing e-Verify.

When I read the title, I let out such a loud bray that my wife came in the room to see it I was OK.

That is the most useless threat I have ever seen - almost Monty Pythonish.
