Today is March 5^th.  It’s the day the DACA program ‘should’ have ended.  But, in a stunning rebound of stupidity, the White House tried to interfere with the Justice System – probably thinking that the Supreme Court was now in their pocket.  Wrong again!  Our highest court wasn’t buying and Dreamers are ‘safe’ – probably for another six months or so.

If you don’t remember how all this came down, here is a quick recap:

• • Last September when Mr. Trump ended DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, he created a six-month delay to give Congress time to come up with a legislative version of the policy, which protected young undocumented immigrants who had come to the US as children.
• • Multiple federal judges felt Trump was on shaky ground and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to resume renewing all existing DACA permit.
• • Our nation’s highest court declined the administration’s request to bypass the appellate courts and to consider immediately whether to overrule those decisions.
• • Meanwhile, Congress has had “the gift of time.” Six months to come up with a solution for the Dreamers.

And… how ironic that we call them “Dreamers.”  They are living a nightmare!  An unbelievable horror from which there seems no escape!

It’s March 5^th, for heaven’s sake!  Six months have gone by and Congress has come up with nothing.  The Dreamers have waited and watched while our “leaders” have dithered and frittered on a budget, on gun control, on immigration on… everything.  They should all step down – every last one of them.  I, for one, don’t want to hear one more excuse.
