There Is No Such Thing as a ‘Deserving Dreamer’

From The Daily Signal.com (Sept. 6):

Over and over again, from the mouths of politicians in both parties, identity politics purveyors and cheap labor lobbyists, we hear the same refrains about President Barack Obama’s 800,000 amnestied illegal alien youths:

“They don’t deserve to be punished.”

“They deserve protection.”

“They deserve the American dream.”

Deserve, deserve, deserve.

Over and over again, in countless cookie-cutter op-ed pieces published over the past month, so-called Dreamers have vociferously lamented President Donald Trump’s push to eventually undo their unconstitutional five-year reprieves from deportation, plus coveted work permits:

“Dreamers like me have flourished under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Trump might take it all away.”

“If Trump ends DACA, Dreamers like me will return to a life of anxiety and doubt.”

“I feel exhausted, I feel frustrated, I feel angry, and in the worst moments, I feel helpless. I feel terrified that at any moment this program is going to be taken away and once again I won’t be able to work—how will I pay my bills? … What is going to happen to me if I get stopped on the street and I no longer have DACA? What’s going to happen to me if I get put into deportation proceedings and I don’t have thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to stay in this country?”

…………………..

Since when did DACA become the Depression and Anxiety Cure for Amnesty-seekers?

It’s this insatiable appetite for collective entitlement that demonstrates the perils of blanket amnesty. Give a privileged political class an inch and they’ll take, take, take until feckless public servants give away their country.

The proper response to illegal alien activists demanding that Washington act “Now!” to preserve their comfort, allay their anxieties, and extend their unconstitutional protections indefinitely is this:

Why?

Americans in uniform who’ve dedicated their lives to defending our nation are struggling to gain access to quality health care they’ve earned by action, not by accident or circumstance. Imagine their stress.

Five million American young people between 16-34 were unemployed last year and 50 million more are not even in the labor force. Imagine their anxiety.

Hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people from around the world are waiting patiently for their backlogged visa and green card applications to be reviewed. Imagine their frustration.

Why don’t their dreams come first?  [read more]

Good question. Shouldn’t legal immigrants dreams come first? Shouldn’t immigrants who want to be citizens have their citizenship streamlined? Or is it because the Dems think the term “dreamer” means an illegal who dreams about voting for the Democrat party? Just asking.

Dreamers used be called anchor babies. Maybe that’s a derogatory term. Then let’s call them “children of illegals.” That’s more accurate, I think, and to the point.

The term “dreamer” is a stereotype. It makes the children of illegals sound warm and fuzzy. Well, that may or may not be the case. Some anchor babies are in gangs. And like all stereotype the term “dreamer” can be good or bad. Usually, bad.
