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.”

It’s called lazy freeloaders.
I totally disagree. If they are not criminals they should go back home, get a job there and apply for papers to come LEGALLY! My grandparents came with papers and came legally, then fought and died for this country. Do you think the illegals came to do that? I doubt it. They come for the freebies and money. Less than 2 percent ever serve this country and the majority of those don’t finish it out to gain citizenship. That should tell us all something.
They wouldn’t be scared if they weren’t illegals. I don’t feel sorry for them. As Americans we would be executed in a nasty prison for just being white-American, within 24 hours, guarantee it.
Ay caramba!
Defending it? Everyone is having compassion, compassion for those busting their butts paying for the 50 plus billion illegals consume every year and put us farther and farther in debt with. Compassion for the Americans losing out when their country is destroyed by the criminals sneaking across the borders. Do you have any idea WHAT SO EVER what would happen to an AMERICAN CITIZEN if they went there illegally? I and everyone on here can be assured you obviously don’t know or you wouldn’t be callously ignoring the truth!
Well good some of us pay taxes. Now 20 billion for a wall and a few golfing trips.
You’re right, why would they want to come legally?
They get the benefits just being here!
They are given welfare, free medical care , free or cheap housing and in some states they can have a drivers license which opens even more doors like voting.
All this and not pay taxes! BHO acted as though he had the authority to make the laws without going through the congress!!
No but they can go with their parents. And don’t let the door kick them in the butt. They broke the law send them all home.
Why is there a Hispanic caucus? Why is there a black caucus? Why is there Anything except 535 elected “People”, representing those who elected them?? Those who join or start a ‘caucus’ of any kind are immediately guilty of breaking their oath of office, because they are putting political BS above their job! An ‘ethnic’ caucus of any kind is promoting division and racism! All ethnic caucuses should be disbanded and declared illegal!
No more excuses, time to deport.
