Media Urges Trump To ‘Think Of Children’ Before Ending DACA—Ignores 2 Million Homeless American Kids

2 Million American Children Experience Homelessness Every Year—Let’s Put Them Before Illegal Aliens

There is immense push-back from the American left against President Trump’s decision to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the Obama-era program that granted de facto amnesty to some 800,000 illegal aliens.

DACA was signed back in June 2012. It allowed all illegals who arrived in America before they were aged 16 to apply for legal work permits, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, and made them eligible for earned income tax credits. Enrollment must be renewed every two years.

Basically, DACA grants participants the rights and privileges normally associated with legal entry into America: it is renewable amnesty.

The political resistance is predictable, but the liberal talking points make little sense: their argument is, quite literally, “think of the children”—a logical fallacy more properly known as an appeal to emotion.

Take this piece written by an illegal alien (under a pseudonym) and published in the New Yorker, for example:

Then I knew it was Sessions who was going to speak, I knew something was up. He has a history of being very tough on immigrants. And, to be honest, I was angry. I was angry at Trump for not showing his face, for being such a coward as to have someone else fight his battles. I knew this was going to happen. I’m very politically aware. I knew that Trump needed a win. He hasn’t done anything during his Presidency, and he wanted to show that he could do something. He chose the safe way out.

It’s an emotional expose, not journalism—granted the New Yorker shouldn’t necessarily be held to the same standard as a conventional news outlet, but we can’t ignore the fact that they’re making a political statement here, and that said statement is couched in emotional language.

This is par for the course: there has been very little rational discussion on DACA coming out of the left. Why? It’s not a battle they can win.

Right now some 500,000 American citizens are chronically homeless—of these, 49,933 are US military veterans. These are people who fought and bled for our country, and yet we’re letting them waste away on the streets while we provide welfare to illegal aliens.

This is supremely immoral by any commonly-held definition of morality.

If that weren’t bad enough, let’s “think of the children” for a moment—America’s children. According to the Covenant House, a nonprofit group, some 2 million American children experience a spell of homelessness every single year. These are American citizens, born and raised.

What kind of a society cares for foreigners before its own? One that doesn’t intend to last.

President Trump’s right to end DACA: those who disagree need to get some perspective.

No, stop thinking of children altogether. Start thinking about the American Parents who have been screwed out of their livelihoods, homes and normal lives first. Parents are responsible for their own children, not a "village", not a "government". Parents. When you take care of the rights, immunities, privileges, jobs, wages, economy and laws of US citizens, those who are parents are more than capable of taking care of their own children. It's when you cheat and screw over the parents that the children then suffer along with the parents.

When do their President's THINK about their children?

Start putting their feet to the fire on this.

Maybe they should think about the children of this country.

Their education is being affected by resources being diverted to illegals.

How many of these illegals will be going to high dollar private schools since Texas voted in school vouchers? Plenty - plenty already are going to the 'magnet and special' schools.

Their healthcare is being affected.

Their chances at college is being diminished as funds go to illegals, placement goes to illegals.

Their chances at jobs are diminished.

The young black people are being seriously deprived of education and jobs.

They should think about children of this country.

Truly, though, the first thing they should be thinking about is the LAW.

This is an illegal enterprise that should be stopped - immediately.
