This week, President Trump announced that he is ending Il Duce Obama’s illegal amendment of the immigration laws known as DACA  (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).  Predictably, Democrats went ballistic.  This gave them a new opportunity to denounce the President as a heartless dictator who wants to tear children from their families.  I guess that the facts that these people are no longer children, and that the rest of their families are also here illegally, doesn’t matter.  DACA, we are told, was supposed to prevent the deportation of some 800,000 illegal aliens under the age of 36, children brought to the U.S. by their illegal alien parents.  In an effort to garner sympathy, these former children are called “Dreamers.”  This quaint name comes from the DREAM Act (Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act), which has been around since 2001, and has repeatedly been defeated in Congress.  That Act would give the Dreamers permanent resident status, and eventually citizenship.  After the last time the DREAM Act was defeated in 2011, Il Duce Obama dispensed with the Constitution, and issued an executive order establishing DACA.  Obama had no constitutional authority to unilaterally amend federal law.  In fact, he said that 22 different times.  No matter.  He did it anyway.  He later tried to expand his illegal amendment with a new illegal program called DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of American and Lawful Permanent Residents).  This was sort of a reverse chain migration program.  DACA shielded the former children from deportation proceedings.  After all, these former children had no control over their parents who brought them here.  True enough.  DAPA would shield the parents who presumably knew they were entering illegally.  The federal courts held DAPA to be an unconstitutional action by Obama.  Six State Attorneys General were about to amend their lawsuits to challenge the temporary  DACA program, which was instituted by means of the same rogue executive action that created DAPA.  Even supporters of DACA knew it wouldn’t pass constitutional muster.  Faced with the prospect of having to defend Obama’s illegal presidential act, the Trump Justice Department announced the end of the temporary program, and President Trump did what Obama had done, he called upon the Congress to pass legislation to solve the problem.  Of course, Democrats howled, “How dare Trump end such an essential program?”  The inconvenient truth, however, is that even Il Duce Obama knew his executive action couldn’t be permanent.  When he launched DACA in 2012, Obama decried the failure of Congress to pass the DREAM Act.  Obama said, “Now, let’s be clear — this is not amnesty, this is not immunity.  This is not a path to citizenship.  It’s not a permanent fix.  This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people.”  As one who will never tell the truth when a simple lie will do, Obama claimed, “we prioritized border security, putting more boots on the southern border than at any time in our history — today, there are fewer illegal crossings than at any time in the past 40 years.”  Obama later remedied the drop in illegal crossings, and bolstered DACA, by permitting more than 70,000 unaccompanied minors to cross the southern border.  True to form, now ex-President Obama, denounced the decision to end his temporary program, as “political.”  The man really has no shame.  The truth is that DACA and DAPA were purely political acts by Obama.  DACA really should have been called APAC (the Alien Political Action Committee), and DAPA really stood for (Democrats Always Prefer Aliens).  Democrats aren’t as interested in bettering the lives of the Dreamers so much as they are interested in expanding the roles of Democrat voters.   This is so because the Democrat obsession with granting illegal aliens benefits which are denied to American citizens, such as exemption from the enforcement of laws, and discounted college tuition, is a fairly recent development.  In 2006, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer all voted to build a wall on the southern border to reduce illegal entry.  That’s right, a border wall.  Sound familiar?  They now say Trump’s plan to build the wall they authorized 11 years ago is racist.  What changed?  The Democrats need new voters.  In 2009, no less a liberal than Chuck Schumer (and there is no less), announced, “The American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration,” Schumer explained, “We will only pass comprehensive reform when we recognize this fundamental concept.”  After Trump ended the temporary and unconstitutional DACA program, Schumer said, “The president’s decision to end DACA was heartless, and it was brainless.”  Apparently Chuck thinks two wrongs do make a right.  Schumer now threatens to append the DREAM Act to every bill until it passes.  Two things.  Uh, Chuck, you don’t run the Senate, and no bill seems to pass in the Senate anyway, even without the DREAM Act attached to it.  The media got right into the act too.  The Washington Post claimed, “Trump shifts the burden [of regulating immigration] on the Congress.”  Here’s a bulletin.  Trump shifted nothing.  Article I, section 8 of the Constitution lists the subjects on which the Congress may enact legislation.  These are subjects, you understand, on which the Congress actually has a duty to act, not the long list of subjects which are properly the province of the States, into which the federal government insists on sticking its nose.  The Constitution provides that, “The Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.”  That makes immigration a congressional duty.  President Trump merely called upon the Congress to do its job.  Any Congressman who considers this a burden is in the wrong business.  Congress should pass legislation to address this problem.  Nobody wants to see these people deported, and there are no plans to do so.  I don’t object to a system that permits these resident aliens to remain and to work.  However, any such relief must be tied to funding for border security.  It’s true, the so-called Dreamers aren’t to blame for being brought to this country.  But neither should they benefit from the illegal acts of their parents.  Let them stay, let them work and pay taxes, but don’t grant them citizenship ahead of those who followed the rules.
