‘Dreamers’ demand protection or they’ll leave America

American Mirror: Some Dreamers – immigrants who were brought to America illegally as children – are threatening to leave the country if Congress doesn’t ink a deal to revive protections provided by former president Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

President Trump canceled the program, which Obama created through questionable executive action, in an effort to pressure Congress into finding a permanent fix for the roughly 700,000 young adults currently protected from deportation. Trump announced in September that the program will end on March 5, giving lawmakers several months to craft a deal.

At his State of the Union address, Trump offered to provide a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers – those eligible for the current program – in exchange for $25 billion in funding for border security and construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

As the deadline nears, and folks like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi grandstand on the issue, some Dreamers currently protected by DACA are threatening to leave if Congress doesn’t act soon.

Alex and Daniela Velez told CNN Money that Alex’s DACA status expires on March 6, and if there’s no deal, they’re gone. more here

  1. This falls under the same category as Hollywood celebs threatening to vacate the country if Trump won.

    Sadly, nobody actually left. It’s tantrum talk. That’s all.

    Same deal here.

  2. Everything about these illegal aliens is illegal and unconstitutional.
    Speaker of The house, who is the jackass in disguise, wants to protect dreamers. That’s good, show me where it is in the constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights. The correct answer it Is none of the above.

    March 5th is the dead line Trumpinator gave congress to fix this shit or he will. He has only one option to fix an unconstitutional EO. Cancel it. Adios Dreamers
