The memo linked below reproduced on Scribd is from the Center for American Progress

"Defending Dreamers is a Moral Imperative and a Defining Political Moment for Democrats"

In September, President Donald Trump set in motion a process that will strip protections from nearly 800,000 Dreamers, young people who came to the United States more than a decade ago and who are American by every measure except a piece of paper.

...
The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success.


The first underline... they are here illegally.

The last underline is about as plain as it gets.

If anyone wants to be a part of this country, do it legally and you have my support.

The Dems are only hurting themselves by choosing to side with illegals over citizens.
Blue collar used to be their base and that base has been decimated by illegals taking their jobs.

DACA is amnesty by a different name, it still smells the same.

Amnesty is an incentive for illegals to sneak into our country.

Illegal immigration will not end until there are penalties for doing it. The US owes these people nothing.

Their complaint should be leveled at their parents for putting them in that position.

A second time sneak in gets a 10 year sentence in Mexico. Catch and release here is a dismal failure.

Why would you support people coming to your country and voting against your interests?

Someone needs to stand up for these children and young people, they know no other home, and are not causing anyone harm. The people who want them gone are simply being spiteful, and using that worn out "you shouldn't be here illegally" argument. If that were the case, none of us should be here either, because our forefathers sure as Hell didn't get permission from the true Americans, the Indians.

Trumpees wonder why we dislike their attitudes so much, and this is just one example. All you care about is yourself, and have no compassion for your fellow man.

This will only lead to baby tossing, as people attempt to toss their baby's over the The Wall™.

Oh, please! They would be in direct competition for jobs and resources against Americans, hundreds of thousands of them! That's causing harm in my book. Many of them are adults not children. Are you telling me they had no relatives back in their home counties and never visited them? Only 1/3 of DACAs came before the age of 5. Are you telling me that they didn't learn the culture and language of their homelands from their parents? Their parents shouldn't be rewarded for bringing them here illegally by allowing these DACAs to stay. What about their parents do they get to stay to based on the weeping and wailing of "separation of families" thingy? That would include millions more then!


There were no true Americans. All of our ancestors migrated here from somewhere else just as the Indians did. There was no permission needed as there were no immigration laws back then and everyone had a right to migrate here hundreds of years ago. Everyone born here is a true American there are no special ones.


Trumpees? How juvenile of you. I dislike the attitude of the pro-illegals who don't give a damn about our own citizens but favor illegals instead. Where's your compassion for our own citizens who have been negatively impacted by illegal immigration? None, nada, zilch! All illegals care about is themselves. They didn't care about our laws or our citizens so stuff your sanctimonious attitude! We are compassionate towards 1 million legal immigrants a year and send billions to foreign countries in aid every year.


As for your precious little DACAs read it and weep.

Stop the crying about indians. That ship sailed centuries ago.

We are a nation of laws and to selectively enforce them diminishes the countries credibility. I don’t give a fig how someone got here, if they are here illegally they are violating federal law and they are either prosecuted or they leave.
