"A Bad GOP Dream" (Wall St. Jounal today.)
Try and wrap your brain around this one:
===============================
The Editorial Board
....So its regrettable that Republican state politicians are trying to bully Mr. Trump into DEPORTING TENS OF THOUSANDS of young adults with NO criminal record.
...Remember: Dreamers were brought here as minors and are not criminals, and those who commit an offense forfeit their legal status under DACA. A January Cato Institute analysis by Ike Brannon says that Dreamers as employees tend to be younger, better educated, and more highly paid than the typical immigrant"....that deporting the Dreamers would cost $60 Billion and even more to the U.S. economy....
...The better solution is for Congress to rewrite national immigration law to RECOGNIZE REALITY <Edit: Bwahahahahahahaha! Oh. Sorry. Please continue...> A majority in both parties would favor legalizing Dreamers as part of a border enforcement bill <Edit: Really? A majority of BOTH parties? You sure about that?> The state AGs have higher priorities than chasing down law-abiding young people....
