Ending DACA, or blaming the end of DACA on the Democrats?

Really, I can't make up my mind. Both are so totally outrageous that it's hard to decide which is worse.

Question what is worse
His stating the above or the Spanksters & Spankettes that suck it up?
 
Republicans should take increased border personnel, infrastructure and surveillance for DACA. I guess going for the wall is their right, but things could change after midterms.

If the democrats worked a deal with Trump they would have lost a campaign issue, plain and simple.

So the status of the dreamers has not changed. Not a big deal. The democrats want it for a campaign effort, but that’s about all it’s good for. If the democrats gain control again, they will open the borders and give amnesty to 20 million plus new Democrats all poor and hungry.

That always has been the overarching goal.

Except Trump repeatedly said they should get a deal.

He tried to rescind the authorizing memo. The only reason they aren't being deported now are lawsuits over the violation of APA procedures in rescinding it.

Mr. Einstein, one moment.

The democrats wouldn't have it for a campaign effort if TRUMP did not try to end it.






Stop posting such utterly stupid and cravenly bull****. Lies lies lies. Just stop. Is it supposed to fool anyone?

Trump supporters are already locked in. A person who stopped or was never a Trump supporter is not going to become one because an internet poster announced that contrary to everything reported in the last 2 years, it's actually the Democrats' fault that DACA ended.

The only people who will believe that were already ready to believe anything Trump says.

:shrug:

So stop. It's a waste of space.
 
The most outrageous is that while knowing that we lack adequate border and interior immigration law enforcement the desired solution is not to improve it at all. Instead the plan is to declare as many as possible of those that slipped through the gaping and intentional cracks (with no intention of fixing them) be treated as if they had entered or remained legally.

Trump saw an opportunity to compromise and couple improved border and interior immigration law enforcement with some "dreamer" amnesty to appease the open border crowd and to avoid the expense of deporting some of those that entered illegally as minors at least a decade ago. To make the amnesty deal less objectionable to those that wanted only better border and interior immigration law enforcement, Trump added a shift to a more merit based legal immigration selection criteria.
 
Almost everything Trump says is outrageous, as well as untrue. According to CNN, Trump had a bunch of Fox people at his place in Florida over the weekend. He surmised his base is unhappy that he's making little headway on Immigration or his wall. The marchers from Honduras freaked them and Trump out. So, that inspired his latest rant. He's technically not supposed to put regular troops to use inside the US for purposes like rock and cactus guarding. But, the National Guard has been put to such uses before. General Clark pointed out that entries from Mexico are lower at this time, than in the past.

The only thing Trump says that can be considered outrageous are things you just don't want to hear.

In this case, you don't want to hear the Dems being blamed for Congress not wanting to take care of the Dreamers.

Now me? I blame both the Dems AND the Reps in Congress.

Nobody needs Trump to tell them that the left wants open borders. They basically say it daily themselves. More illegals = more future Dem voters. 5 year olds can figure this out. That this is true was shown when they rejected Trump's offer of 1.8 million dreamers when the Dems only wanted 800,000 covered. So, they rejected it because they want the border to stay open (ie. no wall) more than they want to protect dreamers. In reality they only care about the dreamers as votes but know they'll need lots more than the ones they have at present. So, the flow must continue. But hey, complain about it and you're RACIST!!!!. Nevermind that they openly help and support law breaking. The funny part is that this hurts grassroots everyday liberals as much as everyone else. It only helps the lib elite to maintain power.

Just as denying the vote to millions of black Americans in the lower working class and millions of hispanics who are already citizens is the overarching goal of Republicans.

For every specious claim of "border jumping illegal Mexican voters" you throw out there, I can submit a case of polling places shut down in predominantly black areas in the South, increasingly draconian "Voter ID" laws, extreme gerrymandering, do you really want to sit there and claim that Democrats are attempting to put their thumb on the scale in the aftermath of the Supreme Court gutting of the Voting Rights Act of 1964?

I’ll do as I please, and voters are far from being locked in. The election is a long time off. Trump haters are just noise trying to drown out the sweet sounds of success.

When all of those illegals get made citizens, of course they will be voting. Dems know this and that is why they favor it. It is also why they favor more and more coming. It's all about power and how to maintain it. ID? Just about any American citizen interested in getting ID can get it and those that can't can be assisted in doing so. Probably 99% already have it. You can't do much of anything without it. Gerrymandering? C'mon man. Dems were the masters back when the GOP were but toddlers in this area. I live in MD and have watched Dems ride roughshod for decades. Don't try to tell me about the poor, helpless Dems and how they are outmaneuvered by Republicans.
 
Actually the DACA EO that Obama signed is an over reach of his. The President doesn't have the ability to make law. He said so himself.


If DACA was to become the law of the land, then it would need to be a bill that passed Congress and signed by the President. But that's not what happened, is it?

Which court ruling is activist? Which is not?
Which court ruling is legislating from the bench? Which is not?

Only confirmation bias knows.

So "Which is most outrageous?"

Both. Neither.

What's more outrageous is that even in the courts the disposition of DACA isn't consistently settled jurisprudence. I thought that's why we pay these guys (judges) so much money. To settle these things. :roll: (government at work)

How is blaming the end of DACA not the fault of Democrats? Quite frankly its the fault of both political parties. But you seem to believe that this is Trumps fault. While its true that Trump did end Obama's EO's on DACA he purposely did not end it straight away. He gave those in our legislature time to come up with law on it. Which is where it belonged in the first place. And they failed to do so. If they had come up with a law that everyone agreed on then even if Trump threatened to veto it they would have had enough support to override that veto just like they did with the sanction bill against Russia. Instead both sides refused to compromise. So sorry, but ultimately it is not Trumps fault. It is our legislatures fault.

Depends who you're wondering if it's dangerous for.

I'd say both, for different targets and reasons.

If congress can get it's **** together and legislate DACA into law, bypassing the president's idiocy, I'd be pleased.

Sounds good. Where do I sign to support that?

The republicants also favor keeping things as they are, but for the reason of keeping US wages depressed, or they would insist on better interior enforcement. The eVerify system exists but we don't mandate its use, we intentionally dole out ITINs for the express purpose of allowing illegal immigrant workers to donate tax money and we accept playing "worst of the worst" games with which illegal immigrants, when caught by ICE, are deported. The demorats know that if DACA/DAPA ended tomorrow that none of these folks would be deported even though the DACA "waiver" list contains absolute proof of nearly a million illegal immigrants that have self documented their illegal immigration status.

This is an EASY one. They both go together. We have a pathological liar in the WH that folks (a few on here) enable.

I will repeat: The Republicans NEVER wanted DACA to begin with. They are dead set against any type of program like DACA. The ONLY reason that the Republicans even act like they are sympathetic to DACA recipients is because of public polling showing that a MAJORITY of Americans support some type of program to help the DACA recipients. There were many ideas floated around to help this situation during Obama's terms that the Republicans wanted to part of.

But you simply cant bring yourself to criticize Trump can you? Poor fella...LMAO

With simple FACTS, he slammed your bull**** post about as bad as I have ever seen on DP and that is the best comeback that you have?.You tRump droolers are slipping.

The republicans may be against daca, but they are willing to compromise on it. The Dems, not so much. It's all their way or nothing.
