Does anyone know why President Trump loves "
Dreamers"—i.e.:
illegal aliens allegedly brought here
before the age of 12 (which no
federal judge will ever check) by their parents (which no federal judge will ever check),
"through no fault of their own" (which no federal judge will ever check)?
We've been lectured by
Mark Zuckerberg about how much
better "Dreamers" are than you
lazy Americans—especially
African-Americans, whose
jobs are disproportionately taken by illegals. (As former Mexican President
Vicente Fox once
charmingly put it, illegal immigrants "are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States.")
So why aren't we being bombarded with television interviews and profiles of these amazing human beings?
Liberals can't make an argument without producing a victim. Attack the media—they bleat about journalists
getting shot in the face while reporting abroad. Complain about
FBI corruption—they choke up over G-men putting their lives on the line EVERY DAY! Denounce the
Deep State—they moan that CIA officers have been killed in the line of duty.
Isn't this the moment for our hearts to be breaking over the millions of wonderful "Dreamers" who will suffer unless we amnesty them immediately?
Let's see 'em! Surely they've got a few Einsteins! After all, the
media are capable of turning a gang-admiring
thug who forcibly
robbed a convenience store and
assaulted a cop into "
Gentle giant, Mike Brown." They turned
jewelry-stealing juvenile delinquent
Trayvon Martin into an altar boy.
But even MSNBC dare not show us Trump's beloved "Dreamers." The
snarling Muslim showcased by the
Democrats at their 2016 convention has gotten more airtime than any "Dreamer."
There are plenty of vague descriptions of "Dreamers," all of whom seem to be valedictorians. But can anyone identify precisely what they have contributed to our country—other than lots of police work, welfare and protests?
The best "Dreamers" always sound like the
"honor student" in
Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities: "somebody who
attends class, isn't
disruptive, tries to learn, and does
all right at reading and arithmetic."
How about MSNBC interview five new "Dreamers" every night? Five non-hateful ones are probably the most they could get.
As long as Trump is going to keep babbling about these
"absolutely incredible kids"—"I love these kids!"—and obstinately refuse to deport them, he must have met thousands of them. He plans to amnesty millions.
Why doesn't Trump showcase his favorite two dozen "Dreamers"? Let the rest of us decide how “incredible” they are.
But no
Glamour magazine profiles, please! We want to know
everything, e.g.: How much have they cost the taxpayers in
free school lunches and
medical care? How many anchor babies have they had? What percentage have been convicted of a felony or killed someone in a drunk driving accident? How many have been admitted to college by taking affirmative action spots intended for the descendants of American slaves?
In 2009,
The New York Times' Lawrence Downes [
Tweet him] gushed over illegal alien Benita Veliz. Three years later, liberals still hadn't come up with a better one: In 2012, she was the featured illegal alien at the Democratic National Convention. (It only seems like the Democrats have an illegal alien speak at all their conventions. Veliz was the first.)
Downes ticked off Veliz's "impressive" accomplishments: "She was valedictorian at

Jefferson High School"—
naturally!—"graduating at age 16. She went to St. Mary's University in San Antonio on a
full scholarship." (A scholarship, I note, that otherwise might have gone to a yucky
American.) [
Don’t Deport Benita Veliz, March 28, 2009]
I gather Veliz is the left's designated baby seal of "Dreamers."
Veliz is probably a nice lady, but she was valedictorian at a school that Downes would never send his kids to. Jefferson High School is 98 percent minority, less than half the students are "English proficient," and
only 16 percent are ready for college.
HOW DID AMERICA EVER GET BY WITHOUT HER?
Or to use Downes' more-relaxed standard: "How will this country be a better place once we force Benita Veliz to leave it?"
Off the top of my head: There would be less strain on
education budgets, hospital
emergency rooms, roads and bridges, and that college scholarship Veliz got would be open to an American kid.
This is a country built by Western Europeans. Immigrants arrived after it was already set up and running well. The idea that any immigrant who hasn't committed a felony is someone we can't live without is absurd.
If you're a yuppie in a rich white area and don't like cleaning your toilets, the Trump administration has been great for you. But if you're a Trump voter, you're scratching your head wondering what happened to those campaign promises that set him apart from every other Republican.
