At last week’s marathon press conference, Donald Trump surprised conservatives and liberals alike with an answer about illegal immigration.
When asked how he planned to proceed with DACA — the program that provides legal status to minors who were brought into the country illegally — the president said: “To me, it’s one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids — in many cases, not in all cases. In some of the cases, they’re having DACA and they’re gang members and they’re drug members, too. But you have some absolutely incredible kids — I would say mostly — they were brought in here in such a way. It’s a very, very tough subject.” Ultimately, he said he would deal with their situation “with heart.”
Despite the fairly moderate answer, liberals quickly seized onto Trump’s use of the word “gang members” and ignored the fact that he said most of the kids were “absolutely incredible.”
Read about how members of the Hispanic Caucus used the quote to attack Trump and ICE on the next page:
Do these people ever read the oath of office they took?
Bunch of hypocrites. Most are from California and represent illegals who probably voted illegally to elect them.
you are criminals deport them all
Who are these people who are scared to leave their homes? Illegals I’d bet.
Their law breakers, plain and simple. It’s the law!!!!
Listen if you are here illegal and youe have committed crimes you need to go. Maybe you people should learn to read.
Too bad
Here they go again, folks! Twisting (Lying) about what the President actually said – AGAIN! So sick of this and the media doing this to our president! MSMS seems to always FORGET that our prisons have tens of thousands of Hispanic, hardened criminals in them already. Many of which are DACAs and have done the border merry-go-round over and over and over again! So SAYING that those people are NOT criminals coming in is a blatant LIE, Media! HARDENED serious multiple murderers and rapists ARE coming into our country. Hispanics need to QUIT Lying about this too! They lose all credibility!
What? There’s an Hispanic Caucus too? Along with the Black Caucus? Is there a Women’s Caucus? A Bald Caucus? A Hearing-impaired Caucus??? Congress is to represent ALL of us, not these little splinter groups. Foul!!!
“Congress too.” Good one, Paul!!!
