Supreme Court declines to decide fate of 'Dreamers' just yet

Thankfully, some of our checks and balances are holding. But for how much longer? Godspeed, Robert Mueller.

I'm confused by the headline, "just yet?" What's that mean?

Trump tried to get the Supreme Court to expedite the case by taking the case now instead of later when in the regular course of events these kinds of cases are ruled on by the lower courts and are inevitably appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court. In other words, the Justices said, “see you next year “. Hopefully by that time Kennedy will have retired and/or Ginsburg has moved on.

Since the Obama EO was unconstitutional in the first place, President Trump should just return the favor, use his phone and his pen and send the DACAers and their parents/extended families who are here illegally packing on Cinco la Buh Bye Day early next month.

In the unlikely event the SCOTUS upholds the lower courts rulings, they are welcome to return only after they get to the back of the line and go through the legal process to enter our country. . . .

Cinco la Buh Bye Day. I like it. You degraded their culture while degrading the Dreamers as well.

Feeling confident today, are we?

The confidence will come when the SCOTUS eventually strikes down the unconstitutional EO and the Dreamers and all their relatives are sent back to the countries where they first came from.

Tick. Tock.

The US has invested time, money and resources into schooling the Dreamers and integrating them culturally into US society. They are a huge potential asset, yet some people want to throw them unceremoniously out of the country. I can only imagine it must be out of sheer spite: removing the Dreamers from US society will help no one but the spiteful ones, and will be to the detriment of the US as a whole in many, many ways.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Take your pick of proverbs.

@Cleo,

Not spite. This Angel Dad only seeks justice. When my son's murderer (who came here as a "Dreamer", btw) is released from prison in a few years, he needs to be immediately deported back to the country where he originally came from and permanently barred from re-entering this country. It will give him a second chance of becoming a contributing member to his society. . . .

Tex - I'm sorry for your loss. I agree that the person who killed your son (a convicted criminal) should be deported on release and never allowed to return. Because he's a criminal, not because of where he happened to have been born, and not because of any perceived ethnicity. What would you do with all the US-born murderers released after serving their time? There's nowhere to send them, and there are many, many more of them.

When you want to punish hundreds of thousands of young people whose only 'crime' is being brought to the US when they were too young to have any say in the matter - that isn't justice, it's spite. Those hundreds of thousands did you and your family no harm.

Dreamers are here illegally. Nothing can change that fact. They need to leave. Calling them a cute name doesn't change the facts. They get to take the US culture and knowledge, such as it is, to their home country.

If they want to return to the USA, rather than help their home countries, then they can follow the rules that all their fellow country-persons follow to get a visa.

They can really make a difference in other countries.

Rewarding illegal activities cannot be allowed.

The entire point of the Dreamer Act is so you don't have situations where kids, through no fault of their own, came to the US at a young age. Making a 19year old who has been in the country for 10 plus years and possibly doesn't even know the language of his 'home' country is cruel. Giving that person a chance to stay is the only humane thing to do.

What a pathetic comment. These people are often going back to destitution, are forced into gangs, or worse. Fat lot of good a working knowledge of Netflix is going to do them.

My parents were pretty clear that life isn't fair. Everyone has different struggles. That doesn't change the laws which were broken.

Calling a proposed law a cute name doesn't alter that those people are in the USA illegally.

People move to countries where they don't know the language all the time. It is a challenge, but hardly cruel.

Netflix? What does that have to do with anything? Heck, my family doesn't have CATV or netflix either.

People being repatriated to their country of legal residence is a good thing.

Rewarding illegal actions cannot be allowed.

Forcing someone to move to a country that they haven't been to since they were 5 years old is cruel. End of.

You could adopt as many illegal aliens as you wish.

They don't need to be adopted...they are young adults in school or with jobs who are supporting themselves. Clearly you don't understand the issue.
