On c’mon. The DACA kids a huge boon to the economy. Even conservative economists say so. |
Agree. This is the type of nonsense that liberals have convinced themselves of. They actually think illegal immigrants are equivalent to law-abiding American citizens. |
One fifth of them are high school dropouts, and only a fraction have graduated from college. On balance, we've paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to educate them through high school (for those who completed) and they haven't come anywhere near to repaying that through taxes. They have been a net cost, and a big one. |
| Illegals should go back to their shitholes |
Why wouldn't they be? This is the only home they've known. Sorry that not everyone agrees with your cruelty. |
These are people not “illegals”. Good people. Med students. College students. High school students. A contributing workforce. Sons, daughters, extended family members. Without criminal records. As the above linked poll indicated, 80+% Americans want them here. Sorry if the numbers aren’t in your favor, but you have to face reality. Using them as a pawn in budget negotiations is immoral. Mexico is paying for the wall anyway. Majorities in both parties want to protect the Dreamers, so let’s do it. |
This is the only home they've known. America is their shithole just as much as it is yours. |
The dems shutdown the gov over illegal aliens. Wow. Nothing more to be said |
|
They are NOT Americans but they are culturally Americans. I feel bad for them and think something should be done to help them but don’t think we should shut down the government for them.
I heard this story years ago and it’s really something everyone should listen to, you will not regret it. Skip ahead to the 27 minute mark. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/520/no-place-like-home |
Trump, or was it Kelly?, walked away from a deal with Schumer. That's what happens when you elect a Negotiator-in-chief, I guess. |
No. Five Democrats voted against the CR and five Republicans voted against it. |
Right to hear liberals tell it EVERY dreamer is a hard working med student or just got acceptance to Harvard law or West Point and of course every single one was high school valedictorian. Give me a break. |
Vote count doesn’t matter - it only got to that point bc Dems wouldn’t sure to listen to any deal not protecting the dreamers. If all 5 Rs had voted for the CR, show me where we had 9 dems in favor. |
My American kid cannot get MA in state tuition despite the fact that we’ve paid taxes in MA for 15 years. DACA kids from all over the country can. Shut it down |
I'm not sure you've followed this as closely as you might have. |
