Durbin: Is This The Last Chrismas In America For Hundreds Of Thousands Of Young Dreamers?

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) again came to the Senate floor today to call on Congressional Republicans to pass the bipartisan Dream Act now. More than 12,000 Dreamers have already lost their DACA status at a rate of roughly 1,000 each week.  Beginning early next year, 1,000 additional young people will lose their protection from deportation each day.

“Yesterday, one of my Republican colleagues looked me in the eye and said ‘we’re talking about amnesty. These are people who violated the law’,” said Durbin. “Some of them, by his definition, violated the law when they were carried in their mother’s arms to the United States at the age of two. Does that sound right? Does that sound just? Does it sound fair to say that these are people who have broken the law in America? I don’t think so. We owe it to these young people to do the right thing.”

   Sorry to be the downer here but the GOP doesn't want to pizz off the Hispanic vote and in spite of the Campaign pledges Trump just kicked the ball over to those spineless azzholes and if they don't do something by March and I'm not optimistic, it goes back to Trump who has already said two important things:

   A: He'll take care of it if Congress doesn't
   B: He doesn't have the heart to round up and kick out 10 million people

   Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dreamers are here to stay in some capacity or another.


   He's already 326 days behind on his DACA/PACA pledge so I'm a pessimist.
