I am SO impressed that Trump loves all the DACA kids. Ending the DACA protection is perhaps one of
his most cruel actions of all, but what could we expect from a man who is more
concerned with keeping his warped promises to satisfy his deplorable base than
looking out for 800,000 kids who did nothing more than breathe while their
parents aspired to a life of freedom in the US?
Trump's action is really so predictable in its absence of
compassion, and we see the strategy behind his offloading this responsibility
to Congress. He wants to play on all our
emotions for these youngsters to force through his ridiculous compulsion to
spend our money on his wall. The result
is that we now must rely on our constipated Congress to fix this.
I have a simple solution.
Those in Congress who are passionate about this issue and can mobilize
as many of the supposed supporters to get behind a basic piece of legislation, and draft a simple instrument that deals only with the DACA Dreamers. Pass it in both houses---fast--- and then
when Trump vetoes it because it doesn't provide for his wall or anything else
he wants, send it back to him in an overide vote. It will then become law without his
signature.
If there are any Republicans who can strap on their balls
and do the right thing, then this can happen. With all the people who support
these Dreamers, it should be a slam dunk to draft a simple piece of legislation
to accomplish the goal of protecting the Dreamers status permanently....we are
led to believe......However, I wouldn't
count on it!
