teazer said:I suspect that Autocorrect changed DACA to DPRK in Tune's post.
carnivorous chicken said:OK, sure, I get it, but 71% of dems and 46% (a plurality) of reps support DACA. Fifty-six percent of the general population supports DACA, 18% support legal residency, and only 15% support deportation, according to polls. Trump campaigned on dreamers not having anything to worry about (add yet another lie, I suppose). And evidence shows that dreamers don't commit a higher proportion of crimes that others (and if they commit serious crimes, they lose their status and can be deported), and they work.
But asserting that it's socialism? How does that work? Asserting that because it's "nonconstitutional" it shouldn't be policy? Does every policy have to be explicitly mentioned in the Constitution for it to be valid? DPRK aside, these are things that don't make any sense.

I get that. That's the sole purpose of Congress. They need to do their job.carnivorous chicken said:True, to a degree -- congress will need to pass legislation or pass the buck. But the Trump administration is refusing new applications so it is already affecting people. And permits will begin expiring March 6, 2018, unless something is done. Imagine living here your whole life and not knowing where you will be in 6 months?
I think the pope hasn't been happy with Donald Trump from day one. There was the whole sexual assault thing, the affairs, the unfettered greed coupled with ripping people off, the white supremacy, you know, the sort of "non-Christian" stuff that Trump does that doesn't seem to bother his evangelical base, and the kind of stuff that Trump supporters seem to be willing to overlook because he's done such a great job. Remind me again, what are some of his accomplishments? You're cute when you're all deflecty, boo!Tune-A-Fish© said:Ope... y'all got the Pope on yer side now, guess you really want to wipe ass with our constitution now. 's and winters coming
