"EYES OF A CHILD" moody blues
Now in his life he never must be lost
No thought must deceive him
In life he must trust
Well today it seems that DACA or DREAMERS went to the wayside.
Seems our President didn't even have the balls to do it himself he sent General Jeff out to do the dirty work.
I know ahead of time that many of you will part company with me on this but that's your prerogative.
I never will understand how you or anyone can hold a two, five, ten year-old responsible for being in this country illegally. I view that young Mexican boy who started first grade with my children as much of an American as my children. How many knew someplace else as home?
Now in the wisdom of our government no matter who was in charge we let families into our country. The most powerful country on the face of this earth and they were bamboozled by immigrant families? Hardly. Also our Supreme Court dictated that even if these children were "illegal" the federal, state as well as local government had responsibility for their common good and to provide them with a world-class United States education. So we provided them with it. I have no idea the cost per pupil but from Head-Start through community college we can assume a cost of between $150,000 and $200,000. So what is our next step? Deport them? To where a place they don't remember? Maybe Canada will see the virtue of a fully educated English speaking person for their society? Sorry I,and many like myself didn't invest in these children because 23% of you don't like their coloring.
These children are going to play a big part in this country's future and the thought of shipping them out has no appeal to me. Many of you must face facts we are an ageing population that needs young blood. If we have instilled the virtues of being in this country and what a privilege and responsibility it is we have a success on our hands. If all these children see is anger, lack of compassion, indifference then that is what we as a society have sown.

People want them deported because we don't like their COLOR? You Democrats have now completely divided this country, and have the young Blacks and Hispanics hating the Whites, because of your sickening race-baiting. I was a lifelong Democrat before I voted for Trump, and I sincerely doubt I will ever vote for a Democrat again. You are ruining our country for votes, and it's because the only thing you have as Democrats to try to win elections, is to call the Republicans and Independents that voted for Trump racists. I have no respect for you or your party, and I'm sick to damn death of being called a racist by you and your party. That's all ya got, and you don't care if it's not true, and if the country completely falls apart. Find some brains somewhere, and actually speak things that are true. I'd be embarrassed, too, if I were you and your Democratic party, based on what Obama and the Democrats have done to the USA and the world, but it just continues to show your inadequacy and a complete lack of intelligence, and the complete lack of a plan to save the country, if that's all ya got. And that's all ya got. And that's why you lost.
Here's just a few of the things that Term won't mention:
President Obama said many times before he created DACA that it was illegal for him to do so.
When he did do it, he said it was temporary; he said it was not meant to be amnesty, or to make citizens out of them; it was just a way for them to work while they were here.
There are at least 1.8 million people eligible for DACA, some of them up to 36 years old. But nobody knows how many there are; there could be 10 million for all we know.
The case of DACA is in the courts. Federal, I think. The case was very soon to be ruled on, and the only ruling that could be, would have ended it because, as Obama said, it is illegal, so President Trump bought DACA people quite a bit of time by doing what he did.
He did not actually end it; he is allowing it to continue, and he is giving congress 6 months to act on it, which is the legal thing to do (make congress rule on it), and that's really the only thing that can be done right now, although he could have actually ended it effective immediately, because it was just an illegal executive order by Obama, and made them all get out.
I could go on.
Unfortunately for Term, he is not capable of that kind of multi-dimensional thinking, so all he can do is scream Russia, Russia, Russia; Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, and Racist, Racist, Racist.
You do the people who read this blog, a grave disservice, and you do America a grave disservice by what you write on this blog.
This is certainly a complicated issue with NO easy solution.
I understand where you are coming from but the question I ask is, when these "children" become adults why don't they become US citizens through proper channels?
Are they going to be allowed to live here while remaining citizens of some other country?
Why?
What will we do with the children of these "children"?
By definition they become US citizens yet their parents are not.
This leads to more of the cry "you can't break up the family".
I don't think it is easy but you need to offer a solution that YOU think will work.
Whether you like it or not, the President (not your favorite) has given Congress 6 months to come up with a plan.
That is the way it should have been done in the first place, not an order from the previous President.
5:08 How many days do you think Congress will work in those six months?
And what did he mean by we will 'revisit' it?
4:57 Talk about pulling a number out of your A$$! 10 million. And I'm the one that does a disservice?
7:44 Sure know how to shake your tree! The reason I brought up color is where is the outrage of Europeans who come here on work Visa's or travel visa's? It's only Hispanics you seem concerned with? Check out the numbers.
Please inform me of the crime these children committed?
And Congress won't let this come to the floor unless there are enough Republican votes to pass it. Called the Hastert rule. you know the GOP House leader who liked little boys.
Presently there is 1232 days 2 hours 45 minutes 21 seconds until the end of America's Trump nightmare!
Term,
I have no idea how many "work" days there are for Congress but that doesn't change anything.
I am not sure what that has to do with the issue. More of a smokescreen.
Just my hunch is that if Congress doesn't accomplish something, he will sign an order that ends the program.
Is that what he will do?
Is that the "right" thing?
We are aware that you are 100% anti-Trump but again I ask, what is YOUR solution?
My opinion doesn't matter.
Congress has a chance to do whatever they feel is best. Ignoring an issue (by both parties) is NOT what they were elected to do.
BTW, your count-down may be correct but it might not be correct as well.
You never thought he would be elected and I am guessing you think that he would never be re-elected.
You could be wrong twice.
8:03 Against 77% of the people? It's been shown in the first 6 months Congress as well as the President can't govern.
The two parties must work together concessions must be made.
I have been wrong a lot more than twice. That said there's a large number of people that have had enough with this guy. I predict the largest election numbers in 2020. Hell he knows how bad he looks he's already in campaign mode.
7:44,
Waaa, waaa, waaaa! The mean ol' Democrats keep calling me a racist! I'm gonna pout and never vote for them again! Want some cheese with your whine? So you're "sick to damn death" of being called a racist? Then stop being a racist, and supporting a party that's loaded with racists, including Trump, who has engaged in racial discrimination for almost as long as he's been in the real estate business. As for your point that Democrats have divided the country, and their race-bating has young blacks and Hispanics hating whites - fake news! Some may hate all whites, but I suspect that more hate Republicans for how they've been treated, and how they are regarded, especially by Republicans in power - Trump, Jeff Sessions, and cops, just to name a few. Oh, and how about Trump and the Republicans being embraced by white nationalists, the KKK, the alt-right, and other "white power" groups who don't like minorities? You think blacks and Hispanics are supposed to ignore that?
Whether you are a racist or not, you support a party that embraces racists, and is led by a racist; guilt by association is unfair, but innocent minorities have experienced it for as long as they've been in the USA, so maybe you now know how it feels.
Just a little tidbit: Mexico does not let in ANY illegals in their country, unless they are passing through the enter the U.S. illegally, then they help them.
4:58 So glad you have figured it all out for us!
3:05 And you know this how?
3:03 Wasting your breathe with tis bunch.
1:31 Don't remember that slip who told you that Rush? And Donny seems to have two new friends Chuck and Nancy guess he kicked Mitch and Paul to the curb? You can't rely on this guy. It's all about DONALD!
honest to God if this country is so short sighted to ship these kids out I will start wearing a hat that says Make Mexico Great Again. We spent the tax dollars to educate, feed and take care of these kids and if anybody would like to actually speak with one of the "dreamers" most want to pay back. Give them a SSN and let them contribute to the welfare of this country, 99% want to do that. I talked, I asked and I came away a changed person.
9:21 I only can hope some that come to this site take the time to speak to these 'DREAMERS' and listen to the opportunities we could share in. Most realize the gift they have been blessed with.
3:03 here,
I'm afraid you're correct, Term. It's a waste of time to engage these racist, bigoted Neanderthals in any sort of debate. The only hope for society is that they will eventually die off, and that the inevitable demographic shift will place the ones still lingering into a decided minority. I don't know how you have put up with their stupidity and hatred for all these years, but you deserve some sort of medal - or therapy!
Term,
This is 8:03 and, contrary to what I see many others post about, I tend to side with you and 9:21 on this.
I don't know if this is a "perfect' solution but it is better than watching our Congress do absolutely nothing.
The problem would appear to be that the members of Congress have no spine and very little in the way of gray matter.
They are so afraid that any decision will cost them their valuable seat and cushy job of feeling important while doing nothing.
Sad isn't it?
Make a decision and live with it!
Even if the decision is not my particular choice, I can live with it as long as it is law as enacted through the proper channels.
What we have been doing (on both sides) is a joke.
9:42 The only thing Congress does is to make sure they get re-elected.
9:41 There vote carry's as much as anyone's. It's important that we know their views.. It will keep you out of therapy! Hatred? no I see fear of the unknown and change.
8:15. What do you mean, you can't trust Trump because he worked with the other side of lawmakers? You said in a previous post that all the lawmakers want to do is save their own jobs, and now here you have a president who couldn't get one side to work with him on important decisions and lawmaking, so he reached his hand across the aisle and made good decisions and laws with the other side; just what we hired him to do. He always said he wanted to get things done, and not play the games that the regular congress, etc., play, and that is what he did. He always said he would make a deal with whomever wanted to make a deal with him for the betterment of the country. Since when can you "not trust this guy" for making important legislation with other lawmaker of the United States? Ask the Harvey victims how happy they are that he found someone to actually do their jobs in this government and he, therefore, worked with them. And you say you "can't trust this guy; he's for himself." No, he is for America and Americans, and he just made important legislation.
3:03, your group-think is gravely hurting America. You really should stop now. It takes no brains to continue to scream racists at Republicans...your party has been doing it for decades to try to win elections. You should really try some actual critical thinking and stop hurting America.
8:15. For Goodness Sake! The people of Texas needed immediate money for their devastation. The Republicans were not doing their jobs. The Democrats decided for one minute, finally, to do THEIR jobs, IF they got their way on the debt ceiling, and the president made a decision and a deal for THE PEOPLE. Not the Republicans or Democrats, but for the people. He did the peoples work. Just like he said he would.
5:04 Glad you finally figured out the Republicans. Incapable of leadership. But I fear this is all about Trump's lack of leadership?
8:20 I was talking about DAKA. Petty, Stupid, Baby Stuff That describes Trump
He has no clue how to get thing accomplished. Conservatives, Republicans beware he's in it for HIMSELF!
I have to somewhat agree with 7:44. I voted Democrat until Obama's second term. Went Republican (my family and friends threw me a party). After hearing and seeing what Ms Clinton had in mind for our country, I doubt I would ever consider Democrat again. Am I for giving those that need help, yes but they want to give away this country. I too have been called a racist, even as a registered Democrat. I do not see where Republican or Democrat makes one racist. But I do believe those who are not legal citizens must leave this country the sooner the better.
I don't care if you are black, red, yellow, brown, white or yellow with green stripes - COME into the USA LEGALLY. The Marlene Pikus, Perry Township was quoted at the DACA rally. Said
her father was an immigrant to this country, from Sicily and his father fought in World War I to get the privilege of coming to this country.
Her family has always been proud to have become American and she feels as though it’s important for those wanting to become American today to have the same opportunity.
He was like the Dreamers, grew to love this country, didn’t speak English at first, when he got here but learned to speak English. And he learned to love this country.”
LIKE A DREAMER? Lady, not even close. LEGALLY - Do it right.
