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:
Who said you was? Illegals are!! Criminals fact check that!
WE ARE OUTRAGED THAT YOU WORK HARDER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BROKEN THE LAW. TALK ABOUT NOT ASSIMILATING AND LOVING YOUR NEW COUNTRY!
They don’t need to be in ice meetings
I say that having a black or hispanic caucus is racist. my opinion only of course.
If they were legal they wouldn’t have to worry about leaving their homes!!
If our laws were not being broken there would,nt be a problem!
These people (the CHC) took an oath to up hold and defend the Constitution of the United States, by representing illegal immigrants they are doing neither.
And you want us to believe you don’t think so
Get rid of the “crux” of the problem.
Could have sent them out to pick up tacos . Show them the same curtesy they show republicans.
