Newsweek is quickly becoming a clickbait hive of insanity, along the lines of Slate and Salon. Or the Democratic Underground. And they’re totally not above a bit of fear-mongering

WILL TRUMP START DEPORTING DREAMERS IF NO DEAL IS REACHED IN 2018?

Per orders from President Donald Trump, the Deferred Action and Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, will expire on March 5 barring Congressional action. The program gave 800,000 immigrants—colloquially known as ‘Dreamers’—the chance to apply for two-year school and work permits that allowed them to live in the country without fear of deportation.

But as the deadline draws nearer, many immigration advocates worry that mass deportations of Dreamers will begin shortly after March 5, considering Trump has given federal immigration agencies the green light to arrest anyone, anywhere, including a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy straight out of emergency surgery.

Trump quelled some of those fears earlier this week by saying he’s willing to reinstate DACA protections for Dreamers—if Democrats are willing to support his border wall. But immigrant rights advocates and many of their allies in the Democratic Party have signaled that they won’t’ concede further “militarizing” the border in exchange for DACA protections.

OK, fine, if the Democrats do not want to deal, if they think they can demand some sort of permanent legal status for these illegal alien Dreamers (which would also include legal status for parents and relatives) with nothing given back in the bargain, then start deporting them.

As reported by the Arizona Daily Sun, Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva, a staunch immigrant rights advocate, called Trump’s negotiation posture “extortion,” adding that Democrats should ignore the rhetoric and work toward a permanent solution like the DREAM Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for the Dreamers.

So far, there have been reports that immigration forces have already detained Dreamers with expired DACA permits and are possibly slated to be deported soon.

If they let their permit expire, which many do because they do not take the time and most are not educated or in the work force and can’t afford the permit, so be it. Bye! Go back to your own country and take the rest of your illegal alien family with you. If you like it here, apply for citizenship under the law.
