Actually they are. America is the entire Northern Central and Southern continent.

"American" typically means a citizen of the United States of America. Just like Mexican means a citizen of Mexico and Italian means a citizen of Italy. I'm sure you knew this but wanted to show off your ability to parse statements to fit your own goals.

BWW, what would you call a citizen of the USA? A Unitidian? A Statian? American is the accepted terminology.

Always interesting that the Christian Conservative Right tends to me the most selfish and self-centered group in the country.

Quite the opposite. Regular church attenders and political conservatives donate more of their money and time to charities than non-religious liberals, on average. Who would you rather have on your side? People using their own fishing boats to pull people out of their flooded homes after a hurricane? Or people paying for airfare to D.C. so they can be seen on TV marching around in pink hats.

You liberals lack an understanding of the macro-economics and macro-changes of this endless flow of non-Western immigration. A million here, two million there, another million here....in a few decades USA is not going to be recognisable anymore, and the majority of the population will be non-Western - who in many cases will be angrily rallying against the (ever-decreasing) imaginary "white supremacist" American culture that they've been taught to hate by the deceitful "liberal" mainstream media, Democrat politicians and academia who are playing the race-card 24/7. Good luck with that.

True, but more people voted for Hillary than him, unfortunately the way the system is set up, we lost due to the way the votes are counted. That makes four times for democrats that we lost the electoral and won the popular. And don't give me that "well the coasts would settle all the elections" crap, because that isn't true. People say they won't have a vote due to the blue coast states, but I have lived in Tennessee since I could vote and my vote has never counted either.

He won. Period.

A million here, two million there, another millioner here....soon it's not going to be really USA as we know it anymore, and the majority of the population will be Non-Western - who in many cases will be angry at the so-called "white supremacist" American culture that they've been taught to hate by the liberal mainstream media, Democrat politicians and academia who are playing the race-card 24/7.

You sure did find a very long path to saying you have no clear examples. If you're an authority or can provide even ONE solid anecdote, let's hear it.

The people in question haven't committed any crimes aside from being here, and in most cases came here as children and had no say in the matter. That's a BIG difference.

True. Should they live in a perpetual state of deferral?

Silly question here, other than a time issue why can't these people apply for citizenship or why haven't they already started the process(maybe they have?)?

Isn't that a deferment program, meaning they would have had to have done it even IF the program wasn't cut?

Getting citizenship is a loooonnngg process. In some cases, even getting just a green card can take upwards of 7-8 years.

You must be absolutely kidding. Or completely out of touch. Junior was colluding with them over his email account! And met with them in Trump Tower.

You have to learn by now that conservatives will believe any conspiracy theory such as clinton having slaves at a pizza place or that she kills people, but wont actually believe something when there is evidence to back it up.

Or even better, hire veterans for those jobs. We should not be treating illegal immigrants better than veterans.

That would be a great idea, but look at the history of congress and see who has a better track record of helping veterans. I work at the VA and can't tell you how hard it is to get the damn placed staffed and now there is a hiring freeze.

Ask all the people that been hurt in traffic accidents, rapes, violent crimes etc., or workers suffering from lowered wages. Why stop at calling these people "dreamers"? Why not call them "angels" or "saviours"? Let's turn up the BS factor a little more..
 
Trump didn't cancel DACA, DACA was expiring and Trump decided not to renew it.

Secondly, DACA isn't law, it is an EO, and Trump has made it clear that it is up to Congress to solve this problem.

Unless you are descended from a Native American tribe, you really aren't either. And I'd prefer any of these dreamers to any of the native-born dregs we have here who seem to be more into opioids, white supremacy, and militias than contributing to this nation.

Please explain to me the intricacies of the Native American policies for immigration and upholding the law.

And see what happened to the Native Americans! That is what happens when you don't secure your borders!

Maybe things would have turned out differently if they killed all your "white ancestors" the second they got off the boat or that first winter.

Should we all retreat and give back the land to native american then?

Oh wait....
