All this mongering over DACA

and all these right-whiners trolling about "Dreamers" and "DEPORT THEM THEYRE ILLEGALS" as if it's going to free up a job they're eager to fill.

DACA applies to about 800,000 people. That's less than a third of one percent of the U.S. population of 323 million.

Are these DACA people really causing a problem in America? Just like the transgender ban, and his attempted Muslim ban, once again Trump is pandering to the worst of his support base over something trivial and inconsequential just to have the appearance of doing productive leadership.

What a joke of a President.

How many people have been deported under Obama?

President Barack Obama has often been referred to by immigration groups as the "Deporter in Chief."
Between 2009 and 2015 his administration has removed more than 2.5 million people through immigration orders, which doesn’t include the number of people who "self-deported" or were turned away and/or returned to their home country at the border by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

That only minimizes the impact of his 800,000 deferred action participants. The subject is also Trump cancelling DACA, not overall deportation numbers.

So cancelling DACA bad, not deporting illegals good. You criticize Trump for being a joke but Obama is still the Deporter in Chief.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

I'm not criticizing Trump or Obama over deportations. The DACA program is a specific compassion program designed to help out people who have grown up in the U.S. and have their entire lives here.

I also didn't say "not deporting illegals good." When you pointed out Obama's deportations, I didn't have a problem with those actions. He was just following the law.

So you're basically ignoring what I said and inventing things I didn't say, and that's completely dishonest.

"What a joke of a President."

I am not ignoring what you said, you called our President a joke. I also didn't say that you said that not deporting illegals good. I was just merely making a statement. You are implying that I quoted you verbatim and somehow am using that against you. Its also dishonest to say that I said that. When in fact you know I didn't and now you are trying to play the victim.

There is not a transgender or muslim ban. They can still enter our Country.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Yeah because his Muslim ban got overturned, it never went anywhere. The transgender military ban looks like it's still going through, but I haven't looked into it.

"Just like the transgender ban, and his attempted Muslim ban,"

So basically there is no ban. But you said there was a ban.

We don't want to deport them but granting them citizenship is just a ploy to turn them into undocumented democrats.
