A hard political move to force the Congress to enact democratic law and not rule by presidential decree, absolutely cynical but Congress needs to address the law, or not address it.

If I could vote, I would vote for them to stay, but I also want the borders to be secure. Personally, I think anyone who carries a cell phone should be denied the vote. They've already shown they are feudal slaves to the corporate state.

You know, if the five or six of us who frequent this thread just ignored tesla, it would be like he didn't even exist here.

Just sayin' ...

DACA recipients aren't Naturalized.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can't, I will revisit this issue!
8:38 PM - Sep 5, 2017

PEOPLE are treating it as a highly emotional issue. PEOPLE are protesting. PEOPLE are telling their stories. The press is reporting on what PEOPLE are doing.

Goddamn bloody well hate it when someone slams the press because they don't like what's HAPPENING, AND AS A RESULT, BEING COVERED.

Fuck's sake.

Yeah, that's part of his point though. It's a "legal cut and dried" issue, not something that, like, effects millions of people and disrupts families and punishes people for nothing.... it's totally "legal" and not at all "emotional" (&#128580 so it's all OK as long as Congress decides to naturalize these people. Which I'm oh-so sure is what they will do, since they can get so much done.

Anyway. Trump doesn't give a fist fuck about anyone. He sees his voter base slipping and he's trying to kill two birds with one stone: fulfill campaign promises to remove every single undocumented immigrant, while putting the burden of being the bad guy squarely on a Congress that is distancing itself from him more and more.

Ok, chief... you can't slam "the press" and then base it on how you feel about editorializing, which is not hard news reporting and has always been part of the media model. Editorializing is not newswriting, so instead of saying the press is slanted, say editorials are slanted (they're supposed to be... they are opinion pieces written, traditionaly, by editors. Think of them as columns if it helps). Being upset that editorializing exists is fine, but don't accuse "The Press" of slanting information.

There seems to be a pretty widespread lack of understanding about this, especially lately. Opinion pieces are not the news. If your perspective is that the ores as a whole is slanting facts instead of reporting them, you should back that up with some examples from non-editorial pages of AP-affiliated publications.

As it stands, you just sound like every other jackass who is blaming what's happening in the world on the people who tell you about it.

Oh for fuck's sake.

You're either for or against the executive authority. You can't defend one example of "overreach" by calling it a response to another one. If you don't like executive orders that circumvent the legislative process, you should be against Trump's threats to take things into his own hands if congress doesn't act AND Obama's willingness to do the same, and every instance thereof.

You're not an idiot. Think about it.
