PDJT and DACA

What’s up with PDJT and DACA*?  Idunno.  My position on DACA – or “dreamers” if you will – has always been: There is no way in hell that congress will ever kick them out.

NOTE*: DACA = Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals.  Okay, several points. One, your “deferment” is up.  Two, childhood?  We keep our “children” on our health insurance until they are 26 these days.  Three, Arrivals?  Sounds like the lines at an airport or something.  Not “arrivals,” but rather “illegal arrivals.”

If you’re like Lex and know that congress isn’t capable of doing the right thing here, the best strategy is to get everything that you can from the deal.


Here’s what PDJT should get:

One, the wall funded in its entirety.  No, “we’re going to give you enough to get it started and then fund the rest of it down the road” BS.  All the money up front.

Two, Lefty Libs are fond of saying, “a 20 foot wall will result in spike in 21 foot ladder sales.”  That’s because they know so little about so much.  Any Marine Corps infantry Sergeant knows that an obstacle that is not covered by observation and fire is pretty much useless.  

You have to be able to see when the enemy reaches the obstacle and you have to have a mechanism whereby you can dissuade them from crossing it.  In the military it’s called direct and indirect fires. I’m not yet willing to advocate for firing indiscriminantly on illegal aliens trying to break into the country, but the wall should include funding for sufficient technology and manpower to patrol, observe and when necessary means to interdict illegal aliens crossing the wall.

Three, extreme vetting for all dreamers.  No criminals.  No welfare cases.  If they are not proficient in the language, send them to somewhere where they are.

Four, e-verify needs to become as mandatory for hiring as NICS is for a weapons purchase.

Five, an end to chain migration.

Six, an end to the immigration lottery.

Seven, a replacement of quota based entry immigration for merit based immigration.

Eight, and no one is talking about this, an end to anchor baby status.  The Chinese government runs hotels in CA where pregnant Chinese women come to give birth, for crying out loud.     


Realistically speaking the “dreamers” aren’t going anywhere. The key is going to be what PDJT can get for letting them off the hook.

Who has been responsible for border security and immigration since our founding? Feds. Who has screwed this up for the last 60 years? Feds. Who has allowed sanctuary cities and now states? Feds. Who is pushing to begin fixing this gigantic mess? Trump. Who is fighting him? The incompetent fed idiots that allowed and in the case of Obama, encouraged it. The know-nothing, do-nothing blow hards have no credibility. But feds bitching about something they screwed up is way too common. Keep draining this cesspool Mr Trump.
