Illegal Immigrant Children Crowd The System

The Master of Lies speaks (yet) another whopper. The DACA executive order says that anyone who was under a certain age by a certain date (which these children most certainly are) and who has resided in the United States continuously for the last 5 years (which these children eventually will) and who have graduated from a high school, obtained a GED or served in the US Armed Forces (another goal that is achievable) are eligible to participate in the program. Are the eligible today? No, that part is true enough, but unless the order Obama implemented with his phone and his pen is reversed by a future president then it is most certainly true that these children will one day be eligible for DACA.

But Dog likes to play fast and loose with the truth, much as Obama himself does . . .

Something the Dog Said wrote: In order for a juvenile immigrant to take advantage of the DACA, the child must have been in the US continuously since 2009 as well as meeting a number of other important requirements. Of course, facts are not necessary for conservative "outrages" as is well evident.

Do you think these children understand these caveats before they leave home? I sort of doubt that many of our fellow citizens even understand that these caveats exist, considering what I've seen when they show people on the street a picture of Joe Biden and ask them who he is.

Exactly. These kids and parents are told amnesty is coming. You think they are getting all the details? Many don't even speak Spanish, instead still speak Indian dialects.

They understand that the apparent direction liberals want to go is to remove all penalties for illegal immigration. They understand that once they cross the border, they will be taken care of by the US government, and even transported throughout the US for free. They understand that the likelihood of them being deported or penalized is very near zero.

Given that understanding, why should they not immigrate illegally? Why should they bother to try to obey the laws that are not enforced? Why should they care that they give a bad reputation to those who actually expend the time, money, and effort to immigrate legally?

And now the press is barred from visiting these detention centers. What is going on there that can't be told?

Even Sarah Palin is ready to renounce her "Republican ties" over the Republican's refusal/inability to handle the crisis of these children.

Instead of giving us your tired and poor, give us your children?

My post was 100% truthful. No where has President Obama promised children who have arrived here illegally citizenship or college education. I dare you to point out where he has made any such promise. In regard to DACA, those children do not meet the requirements of DACA and are not eligible for deferred action in regard to being deported. You may be hung up my statement that they would have to have been here since 2009 in order to be eligible for DACA, but that is 100% truthful.

The truth is as I stated, those children are not eligible for DACA since they have not been here since 2009. How is that a "lie" as you claim? Back up your smears or apologize for them.

Still waiting for you and Fred to back up the statement that President Obama has promised children who have arrived here illegally citizenship and college.

I have no idea what these children understand, nor do you. I do understand that President Obama has not promised them citizenship or college.

Really? Care to back up your allegations with facts? Particularly since this administration has deported more illegal aliens than any previous administration in history.

Oh, that is right, conservatives do not use facts, since they just make things up instead.
