President Trump has no immediate plans to use his executive powers to undo the Obama administration’s order that protects some young illegal immigrants known as “dreamers,” White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus made clear Sunday, in previewing the new administration’s first full week.
“I think we’re going to work with the House and Senate leadership, as well as to get a long-term solution on that issue,” Priebus told “Fox News Sunday.” “I'm not going to make any commitments to you, but … I'm obviously foreshadowed there a little bit.”
Immigration advocates had warned since essentially the start of the 2016 presidential race that Trump, if elected, would crack down on illegal immigration.
To be sure, Trump won the race on a platform that included vows to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to keep out illegal immigrants.
But many already in the country and others have expressed greater concerns about Trump undoing President Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive action that defers deportation for an estimated 700,000 illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents -- and known as "dreamers."
Those concerns recently surfaced during retired Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly’s confirmation hearing on become Homeland Security secretary when California Sen. Kamal Harris pressed him on whether Trump would roll back DACA.
“I don’t know what the incoming administration is doing with that,” Kelly responded. “But I promise you, I will be involved in the process.”
Priebus nevertheless said Sunday that Trump could as earlier as this week sign executive orders related to trade, national security and other aspects of U.S. immigration policy.
He also said that Defense Secretary James Mattis would “obviously” be a part of the conversations about national security, considering the Senate on Friday confirmed him and Kelly to their respective posts.
Priebus said that Trump plans to travel to Philadelphia on Thursday to speak with congressional Republican leaders at their annual legislative retreat and that tax reforms remain a top, early priority.
We have tax reform that we finally can get through,” he said. “And we’re working with Paul Ryan and leadership and the team that President Trump has put together. It's given us a formula to finally get big things done in this country.”
Poster Comment:
No immediate plans to enforce the law, but wants to meet with congress. Trump doesn't need the permission of congress to tell ICE and the Border Patrol to enforce the law, and deport illegal aliens.
The only reason to meet with congress on this issue is to change the immigration law. Amnesty!

Let's hope that Trump honors his campaign promise to restrict the further invasion of and deport cultural incompatables.

Dreamers, not invaders or invasion by incompatables. The manipulative strategy is to apply euphemistic labels that obscure the intolerable reality of the situation. The Western anglo world is being subjected to constant attack by people employing euphemistic arguments and public relations to conquer the people who built and maintain more productive and advanced civilizations and coopt them for their parasitic use.

Shut you libtard propaganda banana hummer. Anything that Trump does in this term is 1000% more than what KILLary would have done, 900% more than any of the viable repubs... and 500% more than any PAULTARD you support IF THAT PAULTARD COULD HAVE WON... but couldn't.

Then why is he defending Reince Prebis who is well known as a reconquista?
GI is lying, and backing amnesty, and open borders one world government.
GI: Why the hell are you defending Obama's DACA illegal alien sanctuary executive order?

It's in the article....
The long term solution is the same as the short term one... enforce the law! That's all it takes to deport every last illegal alien, and secure the border. Ike Eisenhower was the last president to actually do it.Congress is not needed to kill Obongo's exec order. Just an order from Trump to BP/ICE to enforce the law, and ignore Obongo's crapola.
Priebis has backed ALL of the GOP reqonquistas. Don't even try to pretend that there aren't any.

Trump is going to BUILD THE WALL... fag Johnson or PAULTARD would have never built the wall... even IF they got elected... which they couldn't. So it's ironic that a PAULTARD is using YELLA journalism to point out one TINY part of of the O'bunghole nightmare that Trump isn't gonna fix right away... regarding an issue that you libtards wouldn't have fixed at all... just because you want to make him look bad. Get ready for 8 years of Trump... and hopefully before his first 4 years are over, you have FOAD.
So, for that paultard impaired, I'll make it simple for you. I loath ALL ILLEGALS. I'd like them SHOT as they attempt to cross the border. I'd like them rounded up and put into encampments until they are fingerprinted and DNA'd for identification... to be sent back to their respective countries... where if we find them here a second time, they are executed and their remains dumped OVER OUR NEW WALL.
You've never supported a candidate that will do HALF of what Trump is going to do on immigration because the official LIBERALtarian position on immigration is open borders... because you drug addict and faggot lovers ARE LIBERAL.

I support candidates like Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party, not Reconquista Republicans and Democrats!
It's clear that the WH is pushing legislation "a comprehensive solution" which means amnesty and some fencing.
IMO, they're waiting until after the '20 election for the amnesty, but in the meanwhile they're keeping Obama's DACA sanctuary policy to protect their precious illegal alien invader "guest workers/dream students".

Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?
Darrell Castle has not answered this question yet.
Should the U.S. build a wall along the southern border?
Darrell Castle has not answered this question yet.

Should you be deported if you commit a crime? I'll take a wild guess that you're a US citizen, so the answer is no. You should be tried
Immigrants are naturalized US citizens, and not eligible for deportation either.
What you're trying to say is illegal aliens but are too much of a libtard PC azhole to come right out and say it.
The answer is YES, by being ILLEGAL ALIENS they've already committed a crime and must be deported by law. Quit whining and deport them!
No Obama/Trump sanctuary for your guest workers!

Immigrants that become naturalized U.S. citizens can under specific provisions and violations of the U.S. immigration law have their citizenship revoked and be deported.
Check it out.
You’ll find the text of the law under the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) § 340(a).

The term "Dreamers" comes from the propagandists who insist on using the terminology of a failed piece of legislation.
The Dream Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) never got enough votes to pass the legislature. It failed and never became law.

The term "Immigrants" is most often used by Reconquista Republicans and Democrats to refer to the Illegal Aliens living in their back yard.

So you're the guy. Tell me something, how exactly did you support a candidate who received 0.0000001% of the national vote? did you contribute money to his campaign or simply post moronic pictures of him on the interwebs?

I'm thinking more like a weekly sitting in his trailer park shed, spankin the bad monkey while in his OWS pj's... to a poster of Ron Paultard.... and one night last November, he refrained from that so he could write COMMIE SANDERS name on the ballot.
