My great grandparents came from Germany, Austria and Poland. Priscilla's parents were refugees from China and Vietnam. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.

Like many of you, I'm concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.

We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat. Expanding the focus of law enforcement beyond people who are real threats would make all Americans less safe by diverting resources, while millions of undocumented folks who don't pose a threat will live in fear of deportation.

We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help. That's who we are. Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today.

That said, I was glad to hear President Trump say he's going to "work something out" for Dreamers -- immigrants who were brought to this country at a young age by their parents. Right now, 750,000 Dreamers benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that allows them to live and work legally in the US. I hope the President and his team keep these protections in place, and over the next few weeks I'll be working with our team at FWD.us to find ways we can help.

I'm also glad the President believes our country should continue to benefit from "people of great talent coming into the country."

These issues are personal for me even beyond my family. A few years ago, I taught a class at a local middle school where some of my best students were undocumented. They are our future too. We are a nation of immigrants, and we all benefit when the best and brightest from around the world can live, work and contribute here. I hope we find the courage and compassion to bring people together and make this world a better place for everyone.

Getting rid of DACA wasn't as easy as the trump team thought it would be. A lot of powerful people are on our side and ready to defend us!

He never intended to deport us. Trump always said he will take care of us Dreamers.

What I want to know is what will happen to our parents? They are the poeple we looked up and the reason we are the person we are today.

We will use social media to expose whatever they want to do to our parents.

Facebook live will be a great tool to defend ourselves and our loved ones. We should come up with an action plan.

We will expose any abuse, this will allow us to gather more support and opposition.

Political nightmare for Republicans.

Our videos would be all over the news.

If Trump meets with a few influential dreamers, let's just hope they don't ruin it for us because many of them are complete dumbasses asking for stupid shit.

I for one thing anyone who has been convicted with serious stuff like DUI should 't be representing us. They're fucking it up for the rest of us normal people.

I agree, there are too many dreamers that hate trump and would rather lose DACA or any path to Legalization than to compromise with him.

LOL (?)

Anyway. ANYONE who represents us would have to be someone who's a good example of a success story. If those two are a good example, then by all means.....
