These illegals who claim they were brought here at a young age and therefore should not be deported and given citizenship, well did just one of them report the illegals who sneeked them into the country. To have knowledge of a crime and not report said crime makes these illegals co-conspiriters, a felony. They are outlaws and law breakers, criminals, who should be deported at once.

puppetry is a well-known profession in D.C.

Then I think that the Dream Act students and the Senators who bravely wrote the letter should schedlue an appointment with the white house and present themselves and presure the president to do the right thing.
While it is true that The president can not openly violate the law or encourage others to, He has to be reminded the the majority of raids done in the name of the Country’s Security are violative of workers rights.
And deputized local police are regularly violating people’s rights. Stopping Law abiding citizens, questioning our rights to be here or doing nothing when racists write and tell us to “Go back to where we came from and then threaten us with making life in our own communities umbearable untill we decide to leave.” That is breaking the law.

The president and DOJ have the ability to put a halt to much if not most of this by standing strong and declaring “war of the real terrorists from within.” Arresting and prosequiting based on hate crimes
Limiting the “authority granted to deputized local police who work with ICE to only using this so called authority while under the direction of ICE”

But better Yet is to cease and decist in the use of local police as their presence in ICE raids prevents any Chicano, Mexicano, mMexican American or Centro Americano from ever, holding any trust in their ability to serve or protect in real times of crisis Like whey they are bing attacked by racists, or other voilent offenders say liek the police.

What would you suggest Ruben? I think the powerful fearless voices of immigrants, including the DREAMers have been compelling, pero clearly not compelling enough (even when they risk their own lives). There is the pressure within and from the outside.
