Well OF COURSE "Con"gress DIDN’T do anything! It was something OBAMA wanted, and we know that "Con"gress COULDN’T let him pass ANYTHING without obstructing it as much as possible! Thanks, Yertle, you senile old fool…
The Republican Congress has been a failure Lisa, or hadn’t you noticed they failed on this issue before. President Obama acted in the best interests of this country. Economists are already warning that if our Republican Congress doesn’t fix this Trump DACA removal it’ll cost American businesses hundreds of million dollars from lost workers. The immorality of Trump’s DACA reversal speaks for itself. Maybe Trump’s wife should receive the same scrutiny as the Dreamers.
NOAH, here s the info about illegal immigrants and how much they pay into Social Security and they never get anything back. You can find more sources by searching “illegal immigrants pay social security”
.“Social Security officials keep a record of wages that do not match up with real names and numbers in their system. The record is called the earnings suspense file.
In 2009, the last year for which figures are available, employers reported wages of $72.8 billion for 7.7 million workers who could not be matched to legal Social Security numbers."
The congress was put in place to stop a black man, not help an orange one. They can’t even do things they want to do, never mind save a bunch of people they vilify.
@noah bodie… Please look up “prosecutorial discretion” before you wax eloquent about law enforcement. Every cop knows about this intimately. Ever go 56 mph on a 55mph road and not been stopped?
Honestly, Noah, reality demands that you pay attention.
VORPAL7, the fault lies with the “do nothing” and “just say no” Congress. Obama asked Congress to put together some legislation, they didn’t. Then Obama signed DACA as an executive order and invited Congress to confirm it, change it, or do something about it, again they did nothing. Even Trump softened his stance about the six month deadline to “revisit” rather than “remove” because Congress is likely to do the same thing – nothing.

Unless the 10 anti-DACA states hack it to bits, this looks like a reasonable proposal to deal with the Dreamers …

The CATO Institute estimates 280 billion dollars lost in taxes over the next decade from Trump’s DACA Repeal!

Yeah, that’s why there were never any Jim Crow laws.

Deport Trump to Zimbabwe, it’s about as close a tie as most “Dreamers” would have where he plans to deport them “back” to.
