President Donald Trump, beginning a section of his State of the Union speech on immigration, rhetorically played off the ongoing efforts to reach a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, saying, "Americans are dreamers, too."

While addressing Congress on Tuesday night, Trump said, "I am extending an open hand to work with the members of both parties -- Democrats and Republicans -- to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion and creed. My duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend Americans, to protect their safety, their families, their communities and their right to the American dream."

One of the best lines of a brilliant speech last night. It hit the illegal invaders, Democrats, and Mockingbird paid off Media with a punch to the jaw.

Conservative thought leader and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich: " 'Americans are dreamers too' " is why President Trump is so remarkable. It shifts focus from a small group to the whole nation."

Exactly.

Todd Zwillich, host of The Takeaway from PRI and WNYC: " 'Americans are dreamers too' feels like it could quickly become the "All Lives Matter" of the immigration debate."

Because we all know that only Black Lives Matter!

Lol! These people are deranged.

[momincombatboots]

citizens, huh? I like it. The definition of American is vague, but citizens..hmm.

[wastedyears]

The biggest line from the speech. How anybody will distort it, I don’t know, but people will.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Every Life Matters.

[al_c]

Best line of the speech.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

That was the most significant statement of the entire speech. Americans first.

One of the best lines of a brilliant speech last night.

Concur, and I see the shadows of Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Miller applauding his delivery of that powerful line.

[Bigg Red]

Well said! You and Gingrich.

[trebb]

Yep - he stole their “Dreamer” logo and also managed to poke a pinhole in the BLM crap...ssssssssssss

[generally]

Agree.

The other main thing I noticed and appreciated was that this was a speech full of substance, not a string of sound bites and applause lines. Yeah, he had a few of those, but it was 95% substance.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“That was the most significant statement of the entire speech. Americans first. “

That “will” be a line that will go into the history books.

[sheana]

I would just bet that he got that line from the thousands of emails and phone calls the White House has received re: his immigration proposal. I have called and written them and both times I’ve used the line....my family/grandkids are dreamers too.

[jdsteel]

Yes, best line of the night...and a new tag line too!!!

[Hambone 1934]

Song I HAVE A DREAM....Dems dream to bring 100 million poor,uneducated Mexicans into big electoral states and win 270,then get rid of the blacks,conservatives,prolifers,and anyone else who disagrees with them...

After they control all branches of GOV’T,they ship the Mexicans and Hispanics back to Mexico... Then dems break out in song,I have a Dream that I live in white progressive utopia

‘Americans are dreamers, too’>>>>>

Newt Gingrich, commenting on Fox and Friends this morning, opined that was the money shot punch line of the whole SOTU address.

But the off-shoot of it is that the Obama legacy-supporting liberal fascists have become fantasists, wet dreamers , so to speak........ wet dreamers and screamers, engaged in the shady art of political masturbation with the aid of the collective liberal fascist political onanists ,who would rather decry child birth and heterosexual sex than support the rebirth of a nation. They are truly a sick, increasingly desperate collective of unamerican bastids, anti-bucolic in the extreme, and petulantly angry that the Obama legacy has no hope of surviving President Trump.They have become mere caricatures of being elected representative of Americans.

America gets it. And America is looking forward to a swamp well drained, plowed and seeded with liberty.

[Conservative Gato]

I let out a big cheer when he said that. Unleash the American spirit/dream and this country truly can be great again.

MAGA!
