Three of Colorado’s top Democratic political leaders on Wednesday rallied on behalf of 17,000 immigrant children in the state who could face deportation because of possibly forthcoming legal challenges to an Obama-era immigration program.

“This is an economic issue for us,” said Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne. “It impacts all of us as 'citizens.”

Lynne joined U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock at a Denver news conference touting the contributions of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients in Colorado, contending they contribute an estimated $857 million to the state’s annual gross domestic product.

I wish I was like the un informed dreamer who knows nothing instead of being paranoid and knowing every move the GOP and racist do. At the end of the day everything will be ok for all of us .

Yea, I think we will be fine. There is no way the useless congressmen would sit around while we get fucked, even the most useless one can see that they should do something about us.
