Copyright protected source re DACA / Barf

I've tried a couple of times to post an article by USA Today...you know, the ones who slide newspapers under hotel doors. But they won't let their articles be posted.

Mods, I apologize if I'm violating anything by just posting a link here. I have no desire to put FR in jeopardy. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/01/18/there-3-5-m-dreamers-and-most-may-face-nightmare/1042134001/ Can't post any excerpts per the rules, but yet another article about "protect the DACA."

Never mind those of us citizens paying to be invaded against our will.

Main thing is da DACA.

This might work better:

You can find the official "Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints" list at this link. Suggest you bookmark it for easy reference.

If I see an article that I think is really worth posting from a "do not post" source, I'll do two things:

1. I search for the same topic from other sources where we can post (that's usually fairly easy). If that doesn't work,
2. If I think it's important enough, I'll create an article using the newspaper piece as my source:
   • I post all the information -- headline, topics, keywords, author, date, source -- but leave the "Source URL" field blank (that's the field the FR software examines).
   • Then in the "Body of thread" field, I'll post the following:
     "Cannot post article because ____ is on FR banned source list. Link to article is here:" -- then post a link to the article.
     BTW, In case you don't know HTML, you can post a link like this: <a href="(the URL of the piece)">link to article</a>
     So in your case, it would be: <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/01/18/there-3-5-m-dreamers-and-most-may-face-nightmare/1042134001/">link to article</a>
     which appears like this:
     link to article
   • In the "Body of comment" field, I'll write a brief summary of the article (but do NOT copy/paste anything from the article)

Hope that helps

Thank you for that info. I appreciate it.

Bottom line : 3.6 so called Dreamers and a smaller set of those 800K in DACA program.

The current Graham-Durbin bill would make those in DACA (the 800k) permanent and let them become US citizens and vote.

So Graham and his Dem buddies plan on shiutting down the government over them.
