Rick Scott calls on Congress to protect 'Dreamers

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) on Friday called on Congress to protect recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, as President Trump weighs ending the program.

Scott said that while he disagreed with the Obama-era action, which temporarily defers deportation for those brought to the U.S. illegally as minors who applied for work permits, recipients should be protected.

“President Obama was wrong to address the Dreamers issue by Executive Order. He should have done it in conjunction with Congress, which is how we make laws in our democracy,” Scott said in a statement. “But this issue must be addressed. I do not favor punishing children for the actions of their parents.”

Great news!

Coming from Rick Scott, this is huge.

Scott, a strong supporter of Trump, joins a growing number of Republicans who are pushing the president to keep protections for DACA recipients, commonly referred to as "Dreamers."

I fucking love Obama

O.O this is fkin awesome!!!!

Rick Scott is a racist bastard. Coming from him is YUGEEE

Fuck yesss

There is a big difference between supporting the immigration laws that are already on the book and being racist, and Rick Scott is not racist. He signed a law supporting Florida dreamers back in 2014 and now he is showing his support for us when he clearly didn't have to.

In 2014 he said: "Students that grew up in our state are going to get the same in-state tuition as their peers, which is what's fair ". That doesn't sound like a racist to me.

Racist are more like Steve King, Joe Arpaio, Kris Kobach, Stephen Miller and Jeff Sessions. But not Rick Scott.

Where's Marco??

LOL I thought it said "Rick Ross"
