.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump adds Dreamers to his ‘no angels’ club.
When it comes to Dreamers and the young immigrants’ fate, Donald Trump has long struggled to maintain some semblance of coherence. At various times, the Republican president has both assured Dreamers that they need not worry about deportation and taken steps to destroy the DACA program that protects them from deportation.
“Many of the people in DACA, no longer very young, are far from ‘angels.’ Some are very tough, hardened criminals. President Obama said he had no legal right to sign order, but would anyway. If Supreme Court remedies with overturn, a deal will be made with Dems for them to stay!” Putting that aside, let’s do a little fact checking. Are some of the Dreamers “hardened criminals”? No. As Trump really ought to know, immigrants with significant criminal records are not eligible for the DACA program. Did Barack Obama say he had no legal right to create DACA? No. Trump’s peddled this one before, and it’s plainly ridiculous.
