    If one is a Trump supporter, Obama's oratory ability might be as welcome as holy water is to a vampire.  (If what he said actually got inside their heads, his words could turn their brains to dust---just as holy water ingested by a vampire turns them into dust from the inside out.)

    Here's the thing m'dear. Some folks (Doofus Donny worshippers) think Obama is a devil who is a Muslim and not an American. Oh. Also he is black. That is 3 strikes against him(Muslim/foreigner/black) so anything he says or does is abhorrent to them. See? SIGH. Thank you for your reply Addb and Happy Wednesday to thee! :)

    (CNN) - DACA recipient Greisa Martinez fired back at the Trump administration's decision to end the immigrant program, saying, "People all across the country are concerned about what's happening to our democracy... and we are ready to fight like hell to protect it."

    Speaking Tuesday on CNN, Martinez added, "We know this is a symbol of what we saw in Charlottesville ... We will not be thrown back into the shadows. We will not go back in silence."

    Martinez, advocacy director at United We Dream, an advocacy group for young immigrants, spoke to CNN from outside the White House, where she was joined by hundreds of others protesting the administration's plans to end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

    "We are calling on Congress, Republicans and Democrats to deliver a clean dream act that does not put 11 million people in the pathway of deportation," she told CNN"s Jeremy Diamond. "It's more than undocumented young people. It's our democracy."

    Martinez said 800,000 young Dreamers like herself are now at risk of being forced from the only country they've known. She blamed President Trump.

    "We know the person responsible here is Donald Trump. He is the leader of the Republican Party. The Republicans are in charge of Congress." The decision "is owned by him and his party," she added.

    Martinez said she was disappointed in the President -- not just on issues of immigration, but on "how he is handling everything."

    "I believe in our democracy. I believe in the dream my parents crossed the border for 21 years ago," she said. "United We Dream is ready to fight back."

    California has the most DACA kids. I believe 95,000 of them. Yesterday I saw many many many many protests going on around the country. Tip of the iceberg. What Doofus Donny and his cohorts have unleashed will soon  scare them all back to slither under the rocks they came from and hide. DACA supporters are FURIOUS! They include most Americans (except for the Doofus Donny racist bigoted voting base) and include some Republican Pols and BILLIONAIRES of whom you might have heard like Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg, et all. It will be financially bad for the country. The great deal maker lying braggart devil doesn't have a clue what he has done. He  is abysmally stupid and short-sighted. His stupidity could well be the death of the country. His stupidly goads North Korea then when they perform another thermonuclear ICBM test with success he keeps talking "tough" and does nothing substantive thus exposing himself as the real wimpy scairdy cat brainless empty headed wannabe pol he is. SIGH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)

    WOW!

    Now if you could only stand up for young US citizens that need a fair shake. You know. The ones already born here. Ones like inner city and poor southern black kids. Maybe kids from Appalachia where Obama managed to kill coal mining, their only path to a somewhat better life. THOSE kids. And how about the native American" kids living on reservations with little to no hope. I know, you think it's fine to screw them.

    As to the DACA issue . . . Can you please show where Dictator & Thief Obama had any legal authority to instate that policy to begin with? Surely there must be some immigration law if not the Constitution itself. No? 

    Today Trump's AG indicated that the unlawful DACA policy was ending and he demanded that the do-nothing Congress fix the issue by actually enacting legislation. What a concept! A nation of dealing with an issue with a legislation, the "Rule of Law". Who knew that could be done?
