Forget "affordability"; Dem leader Jeffries wants deported illegal aliens back with reparations | Eastern NC Now

Affordability?  It may be what Democrats talked about on the campaign trail, but it is not their main goal now that they are on the cusp of being in power.  Refusing to enforce our immigration laws seems to be one of their top actual goals.

The anti-law enforcement rhetoric of "Abolish ICE" has been spouted by many Democrats, but Democrat House leader Hakeem Jeffries has now gone a step further.  He has called for the return of deported illegal aliens, who he wants to pay reparations to, as well.

In particular, he wants a class called DACA illegal aliens returned.  DACA has never been part of our immigration laws as passed by Congress.  It was something concocted by Obama, after Obama had first admitted he lacked the legal power to do it.  DACA illegal aliens are those who claim to have been brought into the US as children by others, but often lack any proof of that claim.

DACA illegal aliens have no special status under our immigration laws.  DHS has been deporting illegal aliens with criminal records and those with outstanding deportation orders from courts.  If a DACA claimant falls into one of those two categories, they get deported, just like any other illegal alien in those categories.

DACA illegal aliens are not angels.  They commit crimes, just like other illegal aliens.  In fact, an analysis a few years ago found that more DACA illegal aliens were convicted felons than DACA illegal aliens who had joined our military.

So, Jeffries really wants us to bring back DACA illegal aliens who have committed felonies here?  And, on top of that, to pay them reparations for being deported?  These are the warped priorities of today's Democrats.
