Ending DACA Is a Mistake-
Democrats Response Is Just as Bad
By Cristian Vasquez
President Trump’s ending of DACA provides
no benefit to the country or the people in the
program. It’s no surprise that Attorney General
Jeff Sessions announced that the Trump
Administration will end the Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals program. Sessions
also announced that the administration will
formally judge applications on a case-bycase
basis, but will reject any new requests.
While there is no clear answer as to what
will happen next, what we do know is that
the 800,000 people protected under DACA
are now in a sort of immigration limbo.
DACA protected adults who were brought
here as children illegally but who have never
been in trouble with the law, have gained
academic success and in 93 percent of cases,
found gainful employment. DACA protected
these individuals, also known as DREAMers,
from deportation and granted work permits
to work legally in the United States. This
protection was granted on two-year terms,
after which DREAMers would be able to
reapply. DACA was never a pathway to
citizenship; it simply allowed people who
through no choice or fault of their own ended
up in the United States without the proper
documentation.
One argument used by DACA opposition
is why haven’t these people become legal
residents if they have been here for so long.
Well, if the people using this logic knew any
better, they would understand that from the
mid-1990s to about 2005, the country ramped
up its border protection efforts along the US/
Mexico divide. At about the same time, there
were changes in the United States immigration
laws that made it beyond complicated, if not
impossible, for anyone in the country illegally
to obtain legal status. That was a great strategy
for punishing adults who came into the
country illegally, but it left kids brought into
the country in a bad situation. Due to these
laws, these children were unable to become
residents despite having been raised in the
United States. These kids didn’t chose to
come--their parents did. While it makes sense
to punish the parents by excluding them from
obtaining legal status, why are the children
at fault? Why must they now leave the only
country they have ever called home? These
kids shouldn’t be punished for the sins of their
parents and ending DACA leaves them very
vulnerable to an unfair punishment.
Just to clarify, in order to apply for DACA,
immigrants must have been in the United
States before 2007, they must have been 15
years old or younger when they arrived and
younger than 31 years old when DACA was
created (June 2012). These recipients were
required to have spotless criminal records,
and they must have been enrolled in high
school or have a high school diploma. If the
solution is to have Congress approve something
permanent, then what’s the benefit of
stripping these people of DACA protection?
There is none. It’s just a political move to
earn points for the President among voters
who lack a basic understanding of what this
program entails. To punish these young adults
for the crimes of their parents is wrong. •
So What Part of Illegal Is So Hard
for Some Folks to Understand?
By Duane Plank
Watching CNN weekday early-morning anchor
Chris Cuomo, maybe one of the biggest
crybaby libs on the air, stand on a deck on a
waterway in Florida as Hurricane Irma devastates.
As he beseeches Floridians to heed the
warnings of smart folks and get the heck out
of Dodge as the killer Hurricane approaches,
he had to throw his idiotic opinion into the
possible devastation: “This is not political!”
Duh, you fool.
A not-so-charitable thought crossed my
docile mind. I would not be all too upset if
his pomposity was swept right off the pier he
was standing on, tossing the lib right into the
drink. I am a dark thinker, eh?
So DACA dominated the early part of the
never-ending, voracious 24-hour news cycle
last week, with the lefties decrying President
Trump’s decision to give the illegals another
six months to stay in country, hoping that the
current do-nothing Congress would somehow
craft a manageable plan to deal with the immigration
problem that Trump inherited from
the king of executive action, Barack Obama.
The southpaws went wall-to-wall after
Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the pronouncement
last week that the DACA program
was still on life support. The talking-head panelists
decried Trump as mean-spirited, uncaring,
blah, blah. They also sprinted to the tape room,
crafting heart-wrenching pieces about the illegal
in-country Dreamers, including those doing
their best to aid the victims of the hurricanal
devastation that hammered Texas recently,
and how they are a critical component to the
continued success of our economy.
And, per page 28 in the leftist playbook, rallies
and angry walkabouts were held nationwide,
deploring Trump and his agenda, and singing
the praises of those here illegally. Illegally.
Estimates put the number of “Dreamers” in
country at around 800,000. In the sanctuary
state that California has become, more than 25
percent of them reside in our friendly confines.
The currently water-logged and battered state
of Texas is fortunate enough to be home to
about 125K Dreamers.
Somehow missing in the breathless coverage
given the “Dreamers” by CNN and their
co-conspirator networks--who have basically
become the press agents for the leftist agenda
ever since Hillary C. was shamed last November-
-were stories about illegal immigrants who
committed murder, or other atrocities, as they
continue to live in the shadows in America,
returning after being deported time-and-time
again, pillaging our citizens, sucking up taxpayer
money and services.
Have you heard of Jamiel Shaw, a 17-year-old
budding football star murdered by an illegal
immigrant in cold blood in 2008? How about
Kathyrn Steinle, who was gunned down by a
habitual criminal, illegal alien pig, who had
been deported five times as she was innocently
enjoying the sights of the San Francisco-area
Embarcadero.
Doubt that you saw any of that carnage
mentioned on MSNBC as their anchors huffed
and puffed and deemed any who want tighter
border controls as racists. Page 1 in the current
far-left playbook. •
