DACA, immigration advocates say they won’t support Trump but open to compromise

As President Donald Trump and leading Democrats clash over border security spending, immigration advocates are increasingly at odds, unsure about compromising with a president committed to limiting all forms of immigration.

Though most say they don’t support the construction of a border wall in exchange for a path to citizenship for beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, some feel that Democrats might have to give in to some of Trump’s demands if Congress can find a permanent solution for Dreamers before 2020.

DACA, as the program is known, was created by former President Barack Obama’s June 2012 executive order and has granted immigrants brought to the country illegally as children relief from deportation. They also get renewable two-year work permits.

“We want something clean that doesn’t go into this notion that many have in Congress that in order to provide some protection for a few, you have to punish others,” said Julieta Garibay, co-founder and Texas director of United We Dream, one of the largest Dreamer advocacy groups in the U.S.

A deal that included a DACA fix in exchange for $25 billion for a border wall fell apart in March.

Garibay said members of United We Dream from all across the country have told her they are unwilling to support any border wall funding or measures that could prevent new immigrants from coming to the U.S., including those who traveled in the migrant caravan Trump railed against in the weeks leading up the midterm election.

Compromise only way?
But Domingo Garcia, national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the largest Latino civil rights organization in the U.S., said that compromise is the only way forward if a solution is to be viable before 2020.

While he does not support constructing a border wall, Garcia said he does support bolstering funding for technology-based methods of border security if it means Trump and Republicans will support a DACA fix.

Garcia said he sympathizes with other immigration advocates’ calls for an immigration reform deal that would include a path to legal status for the almost 11 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S., but that it isn’t a realistic goal.

“Asking for comprehensive immigration reform right now is asking for rainbows and unicorns. We need concrete proposals,” Garcia said. “Any compromise is going to have to include some amount of border security funding.”

UWD still pushing for clean dream act. Fucking assholes. They just want to fill their pockets. They should be like the other guy. He knows clean dream act wont ever pass and instead pushes for compromise.

United We Dream = yet another ineffective, run-of-the-mill liberal advocacy group.

These guys can take the 'high road' and push for a clean 'Dream Act' because most of their board members are U.S Citizens/ Permanent Residents.

These dudes are out to build their activist careers on top of our plight. The longer this thing goes, the longer they collect a paycheck. They don't want an end to this.

United We Dream is like the PETA of Immgration groups. They have good intentions but they’re fucking crazy and have unrealistic goals.

We keep letting these UWD crooks speak for us

yup

The HBICs at UWD can’t ride around in lambos if we get GCs.

Those dreamers who are part of UWD should be ashamed.

Here's the thing:

1. We need a wall.
2 Give $5b
3. Agree to a USA Act-like bill.
4. Fuck chain migration.
5. Fuck TPS

Choose 5.

Yeah, you know what I am saying?

The idiots don’t want border security? Talk about living in lalaland.
