Trump on DACA recipients: Does anyone really want to 'throw out' good, educated young people?
The Hill ^ | 9/15/17 | Rebecca Savransky

President Trump on Thursday questioned why people would want to force recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to leave the country.

"Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military?" Trump asked on Twitter.

"Really!...They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own - brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security."

The U.S. Government under the Obama administration made an agreement with about 800,000 children of people whose parents violated American law. They had no right to this agreement, but it was made. Fine, Trump can allow them indefinite deferred action. That is all our government agreed to do.

But that agreement was not made with children of any future illegal aliens or anyone who didn't provide their information and sign up for the agreement. It was only an agreement with those who registered under the Obama administration.

DACA participants have no path to citizenship. They only have indefinite deferred deportation. They are not here legally. They may stay, in violation of our law, with agreement that the law will not be enforced on them. But they must accept that their status is permanently illegal and they will never be allowed legal status, ever.

The President must understand this. DACA participants do not love America. This is not their country. For, if they loved America, if this were their country, they would go back and immigrate legally. They immigrate legally because they do not respect our laws.

Does Trump have even the slightest understanding of how many “certified” DACA status aliens got the status through FRAUD?

YES, we do. They can go back to their home countries, their birth countries, take their illegal families with them. They go with US taxpayer-paid American education, US taxpayer-paid good health, our values, our uplifting. They reverse the brain drain, they empower and can lead change in their birth countries. It is a win-win. We get rid of the infestation, their birth countries get back healthy, educated citizens.

Oh ye of little faith. Anyone with a criminal record here will be out fast. Bank on it.

You elected a deal maker. Take a deep breath and watch the fun.

Why is Trump saying the “dreamers” can stay? During the campaign he said they couldn’t. What changed?

Ya okay. If we get a secure border, DACA MIGHT be worth it

But we aren’t going to get a secure border, are we?

Ridiculous strawman argument.

We have laws, we have rules, we have a process in place.

Children of illegals do not get automatic U.S. citizenship. The 14th Amendment does not cover the children of illegals.

My compromise - and ONLY compromise (and this is after the border is shut-down, anchor babies are abolished, the wall is built, no freebies or benefits for illegals, the existing illegals are deported, etc.) is that children of illegals should return to their parent's country of origin, have a 3-year waiting period, and then re-apply for citizenship, which would be merit-based (English and strong work skills, no criminal record) and on a case-by-case basis. And NO chain migration.

These kids are the least of our problems. I’m sure that Trump is getting something in return for this deal. Probably democrat votes for tax reform and the wall.

Bottom line is that these kids didn’t break the law. Their parents did. Giving them work permits makes sense. But no path to citizenship.

The pro-DACA meme only makes sense if you BUILD THE WALL.

Build the wall. Trump I was among your early supporters here on FR. But I will completely turn, if you do not build the wall.

Get started on it.

Build it.
