Since President Donald Trump took office I’ve seen an administration that has appeared to achieve few of its headline and very necessary policy proposals. The expensive and intrusive Obamacare health system hasn’t been properly replaced and President Trump has had his plans to temporarily restrict those from dodgy Islamic nations attacked by legal activists in the courts. He has also faced problems of a revolt within his own Republican party and a rise in Leftist violence on the streets.
Although there have been some successes in increasing economic confidence and in trimming back parts of the parasitical state and getting the USA out of the climate change boondoggle agreement, he has not managed to drain the swamp as much as he and many Americans may have hoped for at the start of his administration. However, today President Trump managed to start the process of defusing a major political landmine set for him by former president Barack Obama.
It was announced today that President Trump that a significant factor in driving illegal immigration into the United States and a method that illegals can use to remain in the US is to be scrapped. News reports are stating that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) scheme brought in by President Obama is to be abandoned. The scheme that allowed those who were brought to the USA illegally as children to remain in the US was a major incentive for illegal migrants to bring children who would normally have no right of entry or residence in the USA to remain and ultimately be eligible for US citizenship.
There has of course been the expected wailing and gnashing of teeth from the political Left and news outlets like Sky News are focussing not on how this will reduce the burden of illegal migration on the US but on the effect of the new policy on illegal migrants themselves. These news outlets seem to care far more for the rights of the 800,000 illegals who are beneficiaries of the DACA scheme than they are about Americans, especially poor and working class Americans who find that they have to compete with these illegals for jobs. This is to be expected. After all those ensconced in a comfy newsroom spouting unchallenging lefty views for left biased media are not having to look over their shoulders and wonder whether an illegal will end up taking their job.
Although President Trump’s administration appears to have got off to a shaky start this policy may have far reaching positive consequences for Americans both natural born US citizens and those who have made the sacrifices and commitment in order to become a legal US immigrant. We can only hope that Congress does not replace the DACA scheme with something similar or worse.
If only other nations such as the UK did something like this and treated illegals like the criminals that they are and put their own citizens first.
