Beto O’Rourke Vows to ‘Legalize Every Dreamer’ the Next Time Democrats Take Power

Elizabeth Weibel 10 Aug 2025

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) vowed the next time Democrats were in power they would “drive that car” like they stole it in order to “legalize every Dreamer” and every Dreamer’s parents.

While speaking at a rally in Forth Worth, entitled, “The People vs. The Power Grab,” O’Rourke spoke about how Democrats had promised American citizens comprehensive immigration reform once they got “in power.” O’Rourke pointed out Democrats won power in 2008 and 2020, with the White House, House, and Senate, and added that Democrats “failed to live up to the expectation” they set.

“You know, Democrats — present company excluded, have talked an awful good game on immigration for as long as I have been listening. ‘You know, if you just keep voting for us, once we get in power, comprehensive immigration reform.’ Well, we won power, in 2008 — the White House, the House, and the Senate. We won power in 2020 — the White House, the House, and the Senate,” O’Rourke said. “The American people were watching, because we had promised them what we would do with that power, and we absolutely failed to live up to the expectation that we set.”

“So, next time we win power, we’re going to drive that car like we stole it, we’re going to legalize every Dreamer, every Dreamer’s parents, every hard-working American doing back breaking work, that makes this country so damn great in the first place — even greater as U.S. citizens,” O’Rourke added.

According to the National Immigration Forum’s website, “Dreamers are undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children.”

    Dreamers are undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. They grew up and have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives. Many Dreamers have attended school and obtained postsecondary degrees, worked and contributed to the U.S. economy, and started families with U.S. citizen spouses and children.

Poor Nacho.  Like the cockaroach that he is he scurries out waiting to be squished again.

we’re going to legalize every Dreamer, every Dreamer’s parents, every hard-working American doing back breaking work

The "every hard-working American" phrase is nonsense. We're not talking about Americans, here, Robby O'Paddy O'Shamrock Jimenez, we're talking about illegals. Americans don't need to be "legalized."

"Legalizing" criminals is not reform, in any sense of the word.
