Re: Amnesty for DREAMers, I’ll be re-posting the Action
Alert from last week, starting tomorrow, Monday (DC weather prevented most calls from being answered last week). But over the weekend, several
blogs, especially American Thinker, have reported on some facts and
developments that relate to DACA.
From American Thinker blogs: Are most of the DREAMers “valedictorians and Medal of Honor-level military heroes”
or are they “functional illiterates” and “underachievers”? Thomas
Lifson reports here. And in another blog, Lifson sums up the dilemma for the Democrats pushing for
DREAMer amnesty, and asks whether Sen Chuck Schumer can risk a government shutdown:
President Trump engineered this
dilemma for Schumer by rescinding Obama’s executive order creating the DACA
(Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, but giving Congress until
March 2018 to come up with an alternative approach. That trap is now closing in
on Schumer. He has 10 Democrat senators up for re-election in November in
states that voted for Trump. Will Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, John Tester
of Montana, and Claire McCaskill of Missouri be willing to tell their voters
that they think amnesty for a group that includes MS 13 members is so important
that the government ought to be shut down? Or, if President Trump and the GOP
offer some form of amnesty that does not include chain migration (thereby
rewarding the parents that illegally brought their children here) but does
include border wall funding, are they willing to vote against it?
We are watching another negotiation-in-process.
