  • Called the plight of children known as DREAMers who were brought into the country illegally by their relatives 'a very tough situation'
  • Indicated that he's thinking about letting them stay and said his administration will have a plan in the next couple months
  • Suggested he'd increase the number of visas available to high-skilled workers

President-elect Donald Trump says his administration is working on a plan that will make illegal immigrant children 'very happy,' and it will done in the next couple months

The president-elect said in the course of his campaign for the White House that illegal immigrants of all ages would be sent out of the country. Only the 'good' ones would be allowed to return, Trump stated.

He vowed to overturn President Obama's executive orders directing immigration officials to focus their efforts on deporting criminals, shielding children through his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

After some pleading from exiting President Barack Obama and immigration reform advocates, including some Republicans in Congress, Trump seemed to soften his stance.

He told Time Magazine in early December that he wanted to 'work something out' for illegal immigrant children, known as DREAMers.

'I want Dreamers for our children also. We’re going to work something out. On a humanitarian basis it’s a very tough situation,' he said. 'We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud. But that’s a very tough situation.'

Note this phrase in the article and compare it to the title from the Daily Mail (Emphasis in BOLD ):

Who is being made happy again? Trump says one thing but the article's title insinuates another.

Imbeciles who choose men and ego maniacal narcissists to be their rulers, enable genocides to thunderous applause.

God has a habit of giving a people who no longer see a need for HIM, over to what they want and demand.

And it often results in annihilation.

I saw another of the televangelists who supports Trump declaring that God chose imperfect Trump to lead us back to him. I hate to remind him but God chooses methods of destruction as well.

Catastrophe was only narrowly averted. It was all due to the faith of one man! Yes, you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune! - Robert Ley Speech given on November 3, 1936.

I seem to recall something in the Bible about worshipping false idols.

Seems a few here need to re read that verse.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

God gave the Israelites Saul when they demanded a king.

It's not what He intended for them, but they demanded it anyway.

And it ended in disaster and eventual ruin upon the entire nation of Israel itself - which today is extinct (the Northern 10 tribes - not Benjamin, Levi and Judah that make up what remains of them today).

God is always consistent.

And so are the consequences of a people who abandon their foundations.

I just saw an article bragging up the number of religious "leaders" taking part in the inauguration and I think its good to know who the morally compromised "leaders" are so we don't make the mistake of following them astray.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The only thing I saw on this thread that comes close to what you describe is the Bob Dole Viagra ad. To what references do you refer?

Snicker....

With the inauguration a day away I'll let the Trump supporters bask in their fantasy of what they think he will do until Monday at 8:00 am ( 8-5 being the new office hours of the POTUS).  Its going to be fun :pop41:

As a point of order, not extinct - there is a whole bunch of prophecy relating to the House of Israel.

Well, we can't really talk about that here - but the comment was made from the viewpoint of your average historian sans biblical prophecy or allegory.

Not true.

I made a reference to it last week in regards to a word picture crafted to describe the adulterous ideological affair Rush has with Trump.
