We see them every day. They are no threat to us. Lets focus on deporting those who are dangerousthe felons. the criminals. The President has basically said we shouldnt set out to deport families. we ought to deport felons. We shouldnt set out to deport children. we ought to deport criminals. So his priority is deportation of those most dangerous to the United States. and the Republicans have opposed that. Why? Primarily because the President supports it. It has reached that point in the debate. It is so divisive. The President doesnt want to waste any resources in deporting those who are not dangerous. He wants to get those who are dangerous out of the United States first. and Republicans object to that. There is something else they want to do too. The House of Representatives wants to challenge the Presidents right to Executive orders when it comes to prioritizing those who can stay in the United States. Several years ago at the request of 20 or more Senators. the President initiated an Executive action known as DACA. This Executive action said that if someone qualified as a DREAMer. they would be allowed to stay without threat of deportation. We estimate that 2 million young people in America would qualify as DREAMers. and 600.000 have this protection now. What the Republicans want to do in the House of Representatives is to eliminate this.
