I see you have a big heart, just like King Trump. This is the new
Amerika, where we punish kids and adults for the crimes that their parents
committed ten or 25 years ago. And what a heinous crime, entering the
USA illegally, why it's practically murder,
right? This is why a lot of what now claims to be the conservative
movement disgusts me. And it's not even smart politically, all the polls
show that Americans do not think the DACA people should be deported,
the attempt to spin that into something else is just lame. These are
people who came here as kids, through absolutely no fault of their
own. A good example is the guy I saw interviewed in TX.
He came here when he was 5, he's now educated here with a job as an
EMS. He's saving people in the Harvey flood. This is the only country
he knows, this is his home.
This is another example of Trump screwing himself with his foolish
promises and lies. He promised to end DACA, deport 11 mil. But
then when asked about it, he said he has a big heart, "we love the
Dreamers", etc. So, he's tried to have it both ways., He's said
these DACA friendly things as recently as a week ago. Now, Trump
is in a box and doesn't know what to do. ACcording to WH sources
he asked his staff for an "out". So, he thinks he's found it, by
having Sessions, who a week ago was scum, make the announcement
while Trump hides in the WH. Sessions will say that DACA is going
to end in 6 months.
What Trump doesn't realize is that he's lit a fuse on even worse
trouble for himself. Congress is overwhelmingly in favor of continuing
DACA or outright amnesty for them, which will be even worse for Trump.
And they certainly have the number of votes to pass it, and very
likely enough to override a Trump veto too. What he's done is set
the model for how to override him, to build a coalition of ALL
Democrats and enough reasonable GOP to cram whatever they want down
his throat. And they will do it not with some tough piece of
legislation, where they could fail, but with an easy one with a
99% probability of passing. Once that milestone is demonstrated,
who knows what's next. Taxes for example? Healthcare?
So, within 6 months, Trump will have a bill on his desk either
extending DACA or outright amnesty. There will no out this time.
The BS is over, he will either have to sign it or veto it. What
will he do? Signing it is what the vast majority of Americans
want, but it will alienate the trumpets like you, which is all
he's got. Vetoing it,
it will show the majority who want DACA to stay that Trump doesn't
have a "heart", doesn't "love DACA", and is a big liar. And if
he vetoes it, it's very likely Congress will override it anyway.
I have a bucket of popcorn and will be watching Trump's latest
fiasco closely.
