A thread on #DACA. It underscores the vast disparities in our legal system that it took 9 years for DACA—an erasure of immigration law—to be held unlawful, while 45 was instantly enjoined from upholding immigration law (e.g. expedited removal). The imbalance is unsustainable. 1/7
And yet, even then, the judge (wrongly) stayed his ruling & DACA remains in effect, its benefits intact for all current recipients. No such judicial reprieve has yet been extended to the millions of U.S. Citizens suffering under Biden’s illegal border-nullification scheme. 2/7
Perhaps most astonishing is our media, corporate & political establishment’s religious reverence for DACA. Articles read like devotionals—a seeming miracle the US survived 236 years without DACA, or that Americans managed any notable feats w/out “Dreamers” to show us the way. 3/7
Our elites’ worshipful regard for illegal immigrants evinces the moral & civic decay at the highest rungs of social, economic & political power. Future historians will marvel at the inverted loyalties of the ruling class: adulation for illegal youth, apathy for America youth. 4/7
In truth, the honorific of “Dreamer” is the birthright of every American Citizen. But the dreams of young citizens in Baltimore, El Paso, or Pittsburgh are wholly eclipsed in our nat’l narrative by those w/no legal right or claim to the protections & privileges of citizenship.5/7
So warped are the priorities of the powerful that, during history’s most devastating border crisis, they are obsessed w/delivering amnesty to illegal migrants who arrived in their teens—even as record-smashing #’s of young illegals (UACs) surge into US (future “Dreamers” all).6/7
At bottom, it comes down to this: no family, no society, and no nation can flourish which does not love, protect, prioritize and valorize its own children. The real tragedy is that this even has to be said. 7/7
