At last week’s marathon press conference, Donald Trump surprised conservatives and liberals alike with an answer about illegal immigration.
When asked how he planned to proceed with DACA — the program that provides legal status to minors who were brought into the country illegally — the president said: “To me, it’s one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids — in many cases, not in all cases. In some of the cases, they’re having DACA and they’re gang members and they’re drug members, too. But you have some absolutely incredible kids — I would say mostly — they were brought in here in such a way. It’s a very, very tough subject.” Ultimately, he said he would deal with their situation “with heart.”
Despite the fairly moderate answer, liberals quickly seized onto Trump’s use of the word “gang members” and ignored the fact that he said most of the kids were “absolutely incredible.”
Read about how members of the Hispanic Caucus used the quote to attack Trump and ICE on the next page:
Disappointed they didn’t have a platform. I would expect a disruption by them similar to the conservatives at a town hall meeting. What’s the point in having one to be shouted down or talked over. The meeting was probably on implimentation and not up for debate. Legal immigrants have no reason to fear coming out. The ones I know-legal ones-are a proud people for what they have achieved.
Hispanic caucus? Black caucus? Women’s caucus? Conservative caucus? What a bunch of c**p – how about these damn morons get to work for the people – maybe they can call it the people’s caucus with ALL members of congress in it – what a concept
Where is the Italian Caucus. Or the Irish, Swedish or just Europe and Middle East, Asian?????
All these caucasez are racism and special interest. It is illegal to discrimante against anybody based on race, sexual orientation, etc
