"Don't fire, Davy! They're dreamers."
"Prosecutorial discretion for dreamers is solely based on the individual's claims. Our orders are if an alien says they went to high school, then let them go," he said at a press conference with GOP senators. "Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien to prove anything. ... At this point we don't even know why DHS has criteria at all, as there is no requirement or burden to prove anything on the part of the alien."
Can this actually be true? Border Patrol agents are claiming they are being directed to release illegal aliens they capture if they claim they went to school in the US!!

ReplyDeleteUnlikely.
In the presence of Republican senators appearing on Fox News, all manner of lies will be told.
And don't forget, any Border Patrol agent who doesn't like the policy can burlesque it, pretend the burlesque is the policy, then mutter to themselves that if someone who graduated from high school in LA isn't going to be deported, the hell if I'm going to even question that dude climbing over the fence...
Speaking of your choice of cartoon Gary...
ReplyDeleteDavy and his pals were illegal immigrants, who crossed the borders of Mexico... then ungratefully tried (successfully, although over their own dead bodies) to create Anglotlan in a Mexican state.
The victors write history, but if you want to talk about Dreamers... poor analogy for your side.
