You mean like this:
There is nothing illegal about DACA.
I doubt that your recollection is accurate. For one, you cannot "apply for citizenship" without first becoming a lawful permanent resident.
From the Wiki: "Under Roosevelt, the Democratic Party became identified more closely with modern liberalism, which included the promotion of social welfare, labor unions, civil rights, and the regulation of business. The opponents, who stressed long-term growth and support for entrepreneurship and low taxes, now started calling themselves 'conservatives.'"
Two of those quotes sounds like dumb, ill-advised jokes. Two of them are not racist. One is not even a quote.
People can cheer Trump's action for a multitude of reasons having nothing to do with the false belief that he's deporting DACA enrollees. I really don't understand what is so difficult to understand here or why this has to be so politicized. Obama enacted DACA. It was 1) a temporary measure and 2) something that he believed and was advised was not in his legal authority to do. Trump is simply putting it back in Congress's lap to deal with. Congress is legally empowered to set immigration law and should be as they represent the people (vs. having a single individual set that policy).BTW, for those cheering Trump making this decision (and thinking dreamers are being deported); well they aren't going to be deported. Trump isn't enforcing deportation and companies are standing with Apple to push the legislation through. I'm VERY happy that we are going to keep the dreamers and have a better immigration plan. It wasn't till I listened to the news and pundits I really realized Trump just set to the legalization of the dreamers through congress. YAY! I'm glad republicans can't keep themselves together enough to do anything but get the liberal agenda pushed even further forward. I'm actually glad in this case Trump made this decision after learning the facts.
Let's be clear: the Charlottesville protests were initiated by white supremacist groups. Anti-racist protesters were attacked, and in one case, killed by these disgusting wannabe-Nazis. Both sides do not share blame. Trump's comments were repulsive. A large number of Republicans said so, too -- just not enough.
Then he did not do a good of persuading or using the bully pulpit. He certainly didn't do a good job of convincing the American public, who again and again voted Republicans into office (see, 2010, 2014, 2016).
That is incorrect. DACA was a temporary measure and, at the time Obama enact it through executive action, a measure that he knew that he lacked the legal authority to do and not likely to survive legal challenges. DACA was a program that merely delayed deportation and allowed DACA enrollees obtain work permits. Obama knew that any permanent solution would need to be enacted by Congress, but he likewise knew that wasn't going to happen - including when Democrats had control of the Congress back in 2008.
What? Are you serious? Obama himself stated that he didn't believe that he had the legal authority to enact DACA (and most constitutional scholars agree).
Not a detailed history, just one period of bigotry reform in the Democrat Party. The New Deal was an economic scheme for unemployment, it wasn't a civil rights package. 30 years after the New Deal, Democrats were the antagonists during the 60's Civil Rights movement. What changed since? When did these noble Democrats send those naughty racists packing?

Racial bigotry by today's top Democrats:
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking!"
-Joe Biden (previous VP of the US)
"I will not let the white boys win in this election."
-Donna Brazile (Intern DNC Chair 2016-2017, former Al Gore campaign manager)
Hard Reid stated after being impressed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believing the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as a Obama — a 'light-skinned' African American with 'no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.'"
-Harry Reid (former Democrat Senator and Senate Majority Leader)
Taking a question from Robin Gandhi, an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska and a man of Indian descent: "You're not a member of the Taliban are you?"
-Chuck Hagel (Secretary of Defense Obama Administration, former Democrat Senator)
"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."
-Barrack Obama (previous President of the US)
Exactly! They can easily help these people out or maybe some employees of Apple that makes millions should start adopting these kids. Apple spent billions to build that ridiculous Apple Park yet these people it only cost Apple a spare change to provide their needs. I would say do this Tim lead the way and people will look him up and follow his example. I know Tim can pull this out and make this world a better place and America will be great not because of Trump but because of Tim and Apple's example. This is exciting!
The DREAM act was introduced in Congress in 2009, again in 2010, and again in 2011, each time supported by Obama. What is your bar for "risking political capital"?
Huh? The introduced versions of the DREAM act THREE TIMES.
I don't know if "birtherism" is inherently racist.
And none passed. And Trump and Republicans won election after election with repeal of DACA being a platform, at least for Trump.
The post you replied to was about the DREAM act. I assume you know that there is a difference?
Nonsense. There were several legal challenges (including a lawsuit by convicted criminal Joe Arpaio), and every single one was dismissed.
