‘Dreamer’ to deliver Spanish Dem response to Trump's First Presidential Address.

Usually during the State of the Union, the opposing party's leader delivers the only response. What do you guys think? is this good? helps our cause? or are DREAMER's just being politicized and used by the Democrats? Discuss.

Democrats have tapped an illegal immigrant “Dreamer” to deliver the Spanish-language response to President Trump’s speech to Congress next week, elevating the fight over immigration policy that’s come to dominate the first weeks of the new administration.

Astrid Silva, who is in the country under protection of President Obama’s 2012 deportation amnesty, also spoke at Democrats’ presidential convention last summer.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also announced that former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will deliver the English response.

Ms. Silva said in a statement released by the two leaders that her story deserves a voice in the debate.

“President Trump would have people believe that all immigrants are criminals and that refugees are terrorists. But like my family, the vast majority of immigrants and refugees came to this country escaping poverty and conflict, looking for a better life and the opportunity to reach the American Dream,” she said.

Ms. Silva was brought to the U.S. illegally at the age of 5. She’s been an activist in the community of Dreamers, the young adult illegal immigrants who have proved to be the most sympathetic figures in the debate.

Hopefully this does not convince trump to end DACA

Anyone want to team up with a Republican and provide a pro-Trump speech?

Not pro-trump. Distinction to be made. But, I would be more than glad to deliver a speech addressing the current Republican push for dreamer relief.

Wtf!! Im so mad now....lmi think this can tip the iceberg

I just sent the writer an e-mail. I encourage all of you who disagree to do the same. We have to send the message that we do not think alike if she gives this really confrontational, far-left speech, which I think will be the case.

I think it's a dumb move but it is what it is. Some of these activists would rather lose their status in order to gain relief for all undocumented.

I saw a video of Senator Feinstein on twitter saying congress would blow a gasket if Trump rescinds DACA.

Does this lady have a twitter? Maybe someone can tweet her and remind her of some of the consequences she can unleash if she pokes at a self absorbed president .

She's getting a lot of support for this speech on twitter though.

“President Trump would have people believe that all immigrants are criminals and that refugees are terrorists. But like my family, the vast majority of immigrants and refugees came to this country escaping poverty and conflict, looking for a better life and the opportunity to reach the American Dream,” she said.

-Trump has made distinctions between good and bad. She is distorting his words. GOD DAMN IT. Stupid STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Trump has not made that distinction. A mother trying to work to support her family has the same level of deportation priority as a gang member with Trump's new rules.

yeah I am not sure why dreamers are so quick to turn on other dreamers as soon they learn the deportee had some removal order
