Trump’s New Tone on Immigrant Kids Divides GOP
President-elect Trump recently confirmed Fox News pundit Dr Ben Carson as his Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Ben Carson, respectively – there may be hints about the urban agenda Trump’s administration may be shaping. The law subjects you to deportation in that situation, but it gives judges the discretion to chose to let that person stay, if for example, they have a spouse or a child who is dependent on them, and they’ve lived in this country for a long period of time, or they’ve gone through successful rehabilitation since the offense, and things like that.
At a meeting between the president-elect and Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago on Wednesday, the topic of what to do with the young immigrants dominated. Following the meeting Emanuel tweeted that he “hand-delivered a letter from United States mayors to the President-Elect urging him to continue the DACA program”.
“He – you know he’s very committed”, Trump said. His argument is that campaigning is different than governing, and that the reality of holding office will lead Trump to alter his thinking in some cases.
And Center for Immigration Studies head Mark Krikorian-who pushes for more restrictive immigration policy and stricter enforcement of immigration laws-said Trump’s statement means he wants amnesty, and that that’s OK.
Trump has threatened to cut off federal funding for those municipalities. “We block the funding, no more funding”. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is also a staunch opponent not only of Obama’s executive actions on immigration but of legalizing those who are in the United States illegally.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says even he doesn’t know what’s going in the Trump/Obama relationship, but it would make a great topic in a daytime psychology talk-show such as Dr. Phil.
“Terrorists would love to see us walk away from the type of work that builds global coalitions and ends conflicts and stops the spread of deadly weapons”. Their knowledge and expertise will help guide the President-elect and our country as we prepare and plan to keep our citizens and soldiers safe both home and overseas, while always putting America first.
Senators Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin are now working on a bipartisan bill to protect Dreamers from deportation.
Thanks to Obama’s strategy, the Islamic State of terrorism is losing, badly, and we’re minimizing anything that terrorists could use as tools to recruit more people to their efforts.
The signees include leading liberals such as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.
The president-elect has promised trillion to rebuild the country’s infrastructure, but provided few details.
If he fulfills his pledge to eliminate the program, he would please his supporters who view Obama’s 2012 directive as an egregious example of executive overreach. He says that could soon be a reality again. “So it’s just – I don’t think anybody knows for certain, but we have to be vigilant, and when in fact it looks like the administration is moving in the direction that is harmful or unsafe”. “Instead, the undefined nature of the urban agenda of the next administration leaves an opportunity to develop a clear picture”.
