Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer is the new hero of the pro-DACA movement, calling it “heartless” earlier this week… but ol’ boy was singing a different tune back in 2009.
“The American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration,” Schumer explained at the conference. “We will only pass comprehensive reform when we recognize this fundamental concept.”
“The following seven principles are all based on this concept and comprise what I believe to be the framework for a bill that can receive overwhelming and bipartisan congressional support,” he said.
“First, illegal immigration is wrong,” Schumer declared, “and a primary goal of comprehensive immigration reform must be to dramatically curtail future illegal immigration.”
I get that some people can have a change of heart but when it comes to politics, if you ask me, this is nothing short of flip-flopping. He’s not the first Democrat, hell not the first politician on any side of the aisle, to flip flop.
Americans know how heartless ending #DACA is; ripping apart families & telling ppl who have worked hard to become Americans they must leave.

These hardworking #DREAMers & their contributions are vital to our economy & biz who will be hurt if this order stands.

The human & economic toll of rescinding #DACA will be far reaching. Dems will do all we can to prevent @POTUS' order from becoming reality.

Sure, he’s their hero for now… I guess. They may argue this was in the past but look at all the crap they drag up CONSTANTLY Trump said 10+ years ago. It’s pure hypocrisy! Just another Liberal trait for ya.
I mean, come on. Trump is giving Congress the chance to make it CONSTITUTIONAL and not just an executive order that the former POTUS created even after being ORDERED by a federal judge TO NOT DO IT!
This is an olive branch…
