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:
Hispanics: a brand new collection of outraged victims!
Was this moron even paying attention??
It was about the illegal aliens! DACA in my opinion should be shutdown, these young people, the ones who aren’t gang members or criminals need to apply for citizenship, if they don’t. Deport!!
Scott MacFarlane
Spoken exactly like an ignorant racist progressive liberal!
Lots of hate and a filthy mouth!!
If the black and the Mexican caucus are congressmen, what’s the point of their shutting white People out!
I guess if you are illegal you have reason to be afraid the Hispanic caucus should help legal Hispanics instead of illegals
Trump seems to think a good percentage of dreamers are gang members without any statistics.
You’re fired too loser!
It really pisses these ethnic caucuses off because their boy is gone from the white and they’re no longer being pampered. Try finding a “free phones” tent on every corner like b4 Jan 20th. And that’s just a start. Wait until Ben Carson starts trimming the HUB budget. The tears will make a new riverbed in California.
Division! ……..Division!…..and so it goes and goes and ….
Say on.
Maybe we should look at whether they habe been protesters or disrespectful to country. As far as I am concerned if they are protesting and causing trouble they can go back
Illegal is illegal, who cares what the circumstances are for each one. It all comes down to legal vs illegal. If they are here illegally they must go.
