"It's up to Congress to protect these young people."

I enjoy this news article Steve. The paragraph that stuck out in my mind was this: "Ultimately, this is about basic decency," he said. "This is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we'd want our own kids to be treated. It's about who we are as a people — and who we want to be."

President Obama did promise us he would speak out

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, September 5th 2017 at 7:03PM

Agreed....

The facts below should guide you whether it is wrong to target these young Mexicans for deportation (DACA).

God created the Chinese people in China. The same God created the Japanese people in Japan. That same God created the Mexicans in Mexico.

It is a no brainer to see and understand that Chinese people belong in China since China is where God created Chinese people.
Likewise, Mexican people belong in Mexico since Mexico is where God created Mexicans.

This is the simple algebraic problem! What is on the right of the = must be equal to what’s on the left of the =. Mexicans = Mexico. Chinese = China.

Now, when a Mexican man and woman illegally crosses the border what children they bring with them walking or pregnant is also illegal immigrants, am I right?

Anyone that would have a problem deporting illegal Mexican immigrants to Mexico can’t analytically think and reason rationally!

Congress has 6 months to figure it out, that's plenty of time. Trump's action was brilliant.

Congress has been farting around all year and the President now has given them something they can't afford to weasel out of.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, September 6th 2017 at 9:04AM

Their is more work to be done.

There's plenty of work for them but they're just typically lazy. What the hell are they good for, we may as well be a monarchy.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, September 6th 2017 at 9:34AM

NO!!! THAT IS A BAD IDEA. To many good people have fought and died for the right, for you to say what you said, just then. Do you understand that STEVE?

It may be a bad idea Ron but that's how people act. When the ACA passed they didn't call it the ACA, they called it Obamacare. When Congress failed to repeal and replace it they didn't call it a failure of Congress, they called it a failure of Trump. Same with DACA, they called it a victory of Obama and when Trump ended it they call it a failure of Trump. Even Paul Ryan wants to abdicate his office and thinks it's the President's responsibility not his.
