Trump surrogates say ending DACA could be good for U.S. workers

Surrogates for President Trump said Sunday that American workers would benefit by ending an Obama-era program that has let about 800,000 undocumented immigrant children work and study in the United States without fear of deportation, but congressional Republicans urged the White House to leave the program intact.

Trump "wants to do what's fair to the American worker, what's fair to people in this country who are competing for jobs and other benefits," counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway said Sunday on "Fox & Friends." She said that the president's decision should be seen as part of an "entire economic and domestic agenda" that includes an end to sanctuary cities, increased border security and constructing a wall along the southern border.

"He says we have to keep people and poison out of our communities. People who are coming here illegally and competing for those jobs," Conway said.

In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that he was "less concerned about the economic impact" of ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, because "we'll make sure that we have plenty of workers in this economy. We want to put more people back to work."


Still, the sympathetic cases of DACA recipients have inspired lawmakers from various corners of Congress to sponsor legislation to legalize their status. Their support raises the possibility that a handful of Republicans could join congressional Democrats to get a bill over the finish line.

I just posted that too. I really can't stand Kellyanne.

Fuck kinda name is Kellyanne?

We are so fucked !

If they want to look at the entire economy, they shouldn't make it seem like it's US Citizens vs Non-Citizens. We are all in this economy together. Giving Dreamer's jobs to US Citizens doesn't make the economy better in any way, but it sure makes some racists feel better inside knowing "they" won.

I'm an American worker

We all are , in some ways no?

Looks like Trump is sending out his minions to test his new talking points 9n ending DACA.

Fucked or not. We'll survive. We are like cockroaches, can't get of us so easily!

im fine with this argument, its really about having compassion and humanity from them at this point.
