CNN: Dreamers will leave the US if DACA falls through
|
What happens to these people who probably don't even have a place? They just get thrown over the border while heartless ***** point and laugh?

Bye Felicia

Hello Bigot.
|
I'm not sure why the dreamers want to do their dreaming in a sexist, misogynistic, homophobic country run by a racist anyways.

Bu-bye Felicia! |
Thanks, Obama, etc!
Who is Felicia? As I've been saying, these people are just pawns for both sides. Obama pulled a political stunt saying they can stay. That was a really stupid, yet calculated move. Calculated, because he knew this day would come. Problem is, I don't think you can tell people they can stay and then turn around and throw them out years later. That is messed up, and it is now OUR mess. Again, thanks Obama. And everyone before you as well. It's our fault that we and these "dreamers" are in this situation. We just ignored the problem for years, exploiting illegals the whole time. I think at this point the best we can do is kick the bad ones out and let the rest stay. Telling people they can stay, telling them to go ahead and set up a new life for themselves, investing everything they have, and then years later telling them no? I am against that and that is putting it mildly. I don't care much about who is already here, I want the borders secured. Now, as for dreamers here claiming they will leave if they don't get what they want - sounds like they have become Americans to me. The crying line is over there. |
Are the "Dreamers" of CNN the folks dreaming of picking strawberries? Or are they talking Elon Musk/ Mikola Tesla level?
But yeah, to what Midge said. |

I think you guys need to sort out which of your citizens is paying illegal immigrants off the books and contrary to US law and prosecute them to the fullest.
If you don't this is just gong to keep happening. Which US citizens are flouting immigration/employment law for their own profit? Find them and stop them. |
When I lived overseas I knew two host country nationals who had more or less been "Dreamers" (a decade or more before the term came into use). Their parents had taken them to North America (one to the U.S., the other to Canada) as very young children. They both grew up speaking English, watching English language movies, American and British music, all that.
Then, in their late teens, off to a third-world country they had no memory of. It is terrible to treat people that way. The one from Canada seemed to be able to integrate back into the host country culture without too much difficulty, but the one from America just felt like a fish out of water, and was really depressed. |

IMO, the real goal of many ostensibly anti-immigrant people is to maintain the status quo. That is why they support mostly ineffective stuff like walls or other "border security" measures, and push propaganda to keep anger directed at the immigrants themselves, rather than the people employing them. They don't really want to stop illegal immigration. Neither do they want to see illegal immigrants granted legal residency or citizenship, as legal residents or citizens would likely be less inclined to put up with bad treatment. |

Seems pretty spot on and in keeping with the theme of the last few decades where rich people get poor people to blame very poor people for the problems caused by rich people trying to stay rich. |
Quote:
They are not being thrown out, they are threatening to voluntarily leave. So... yeah |
Quote:
But yeah, what else are they going to do? If the argument is that people who grew up in the US don't belong there because of their paperwork and allowing them to stay would set a bad precedent, why help them get back on their feet in their parents' country? The whole argument is that it's none of the US's business what happens to them. And if the argument is that letting them continue their lives is somehow more expensive than finding, detaining and deporting all of them, then why would those who object for financial reasons want to spend a dime on them once they're across the border? |

While I favor keeping them because I think their presence ultimately benefits the United States and me personally, I think a lot of the Mexican Dreamers would eventually do okay in Mexico and would likely contribute to improving that country. Different situation for those who come from other countries, obviously.

I mean, maybe we should be a little more concerned about sending illegal immigrants back to ******** countries... It's not like these poor children chose for their parents to put them in this awkward situation. And it's not like their parents gave them much of a choice about getting out of it.
Now they're adults, living illegally in the US, and it's time for them to start making their own choices about how to deal with the life they've been given. Do we owe it to them, to give them a choice about staying here versus returning to some ******** country? Or do we continue to hold their parents responsible for the choices they made on their children's behalf, and the legal and practical consequences of those choices? |
Quote:
Even if the DACA program had never existed, I think an argument could easily be made that we don't so much owe it to them, as we owe it to our ancestors who immigrated here, some by choice and some without any choice at all. Personally, I think trying to frame illegal immigration as being even in the upper half of our problems as a country is ridiculous and an appeal to white nationalists. |

While Obama's executive action to defer deportation was a step in the right direction, it's really not enough. If we are not going to deport them, they should be granted full legal status. |

One could almost counter that with "Schrodinger's America" a horrible vile 3rd world country, not a wonderful perfect utopia with no social problems like say Sweden, that nobody should want to live in... that's its a damn near human rights violation if you kick somebody out of. But in seriousness I think a sort of base difference related to all that where or problems lie. At its most basic moral level, is removing someone from your country because they didn't follow the rules of entrance into your country, a punishment or just... returning the status quo? Has an immigrant been "punished" in any meaningful sense of the term if they enter the country without due process, are discovered, and returned to their original country of origin? |
Well, most of the "dreamers" may just stay. https://www.ice.gov/removal-statistics/2017
ICE conducted about 226,000 removals last year. The report doesn't break it down but having worked for the legacy agency, INS most of those were voluntary returns. If there are 11 million undocumented in this country, it will take us 48 years to get rid of all of them. |

I get that patting oneself on the back is inimical to reading comprehension. |

That rather unpleasant website (funny, they use 'adorable' just like you do) actually just says they will leave. I suppose it is an option to being officially deported. But perhaps patting oneself on the back is inimical to reading comprehension. |
Quote:
I don’t think CNN is that unpleasant, but I see your point. |
'k
The website linked, and the 'adorable' bit was twitchy.com, not CNN, but you know that, don't you? |
Quote:
The good news is you have walked back that silly bit about them not threatening to leave “if” they didn’t get their way, just like all those knuckleheads who said they were going to leave when Trump won. Knuckleheads, amiright? |
