Illegal dreamers immigrants will be allowed in legally once again like Republican Ronald Reagan did in 1980's while he was raising our deficits and never balancing the Budget! He also spend Billions on the Military Like President Trump has promised to do all over again with illegals pouring in too! What a joke!

This while The baby boomers have paid taxes for over fifty years to receive Medicare and Social security which are both broke and under funded by our illustrious Congress who never balance the budget all those years while we were slaving to pay for these illegal families to come over here and get free welfare and social services!

We have been sold out lock stock and barrel while the Elite Rich have off shored trillions of dollars in Tax Havens and allowing our Nation to fail before our own eyes! Wake up! You have been had!

Our congress gets generous pay with benefits and retirement while poor Americans get nothing but the bill with debt and misery for working hard all these years serving our country.

The young immigrants at issue provided information including fingerprints and relatives' home addresses when they applied for protection under the president's 2012 executive order, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. They received renewable, two-year work permits and Social Security cards as part of the program.

Obama took his action after Congress stalled for years on legislation called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, which would have provided a path to legal status.

Supporters of the young immigrants are concerned that the information they gave to the government could be used to expel them from the U.S. under a Trump administration. Trump has said since the election that his chief intention is to deport criminals, which he estimates to be about 3 million of the illegal immigrant population.

At a CNN town hall Thursday night, House Speaker Paul Ryan said there are no plans for a "deportation force" after Trump is inaugurated. He also said there are ongoing talks between congressional leaders and Trump's transition team on an appropriate policy for the young immigrants, adding that all sides want a "good, humane solution."

Curbelo said the support for the legislation runs deep in the House, if Republican leaders were to take the unlikely step of putting it to a vote. Most House Democrats support it, and he said he estimates that at least 60 Republicans would back it.

"There are many, many Republicans and Democrats in this Congress who want to do right by these young people," he said.
