Oh my. It seems that Pres Trump (or should I say Pres Miller?) isn't interested in protecting the Dreamers, but rather in playing politics with the lives of young Americans. And he thinks they are well-positioned!!! Evil AND stupid. https://t.co/nQkaRmqD6k
Enough w/bashing immigrants. In order to qualify as #Dreamers, young ppl must be in school, or hold jobs. Almost 1,000 of them serve in our military. They’re often the primary bread-winners for their family, despite living in fear & legal limbo. They’re anything but lazy. Enough!
1/ Today, my guest seat at the #SOTU will remain empty in honor of Amer Othman, and all those individuals being heartlessly targeted by the Trump Administration who are American in every sense of the word. We should pursue violent criminals, not those working for a better life.
2008: Obama promised immigration reform in 1st term. Promise broken.
2010: DREAM Act failed to passed. 5 Dems vote No.
2013: Gang of 8 bill failed.
2014: Obama pushes for DAPA & DACA+ AFTER midterms.
2015: Trump happens.
2017: Dems tell base to trust GOP.
And you wonder why?
With a racist rant, Trump rejects a serious bipartisan proposal to resolve the Dreamer crisis he created. Is there any hope GOP leaders will step up, pass Dreamer legislation and push back against its bigoted leader? The clock is ticking. History is watching.
