Rick Scott calls on Congress to protect 'Dreamers'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Yes fucking Rick Scott

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) on Friday called on Congress to protect recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, as President Trump weighs ending the program.

Scott said that while he disagreed with the Obama-era action, which temporarily defers deportation for those brought to the U.S. illegally as minors who applied for work permits, recipients should be protected.

“President Obama was wrong to address the Dreamers issue by Executive Order. He should have done it in conjunction with Congress, which is how we make laws in our democracy,” Scott said in a statement. “But this issue must be addressed. I do not favor punishing children for the actions of their parents.”

“These kids must be allowed to pursue the American Dream, and Congress must act on this immediately,” he said.

Scott issued the statement after the White House said that President Trump would announce his decision on whether to end the DACA program on Tuesday.

1. First thing I think I have ever agreed with him on.

2. He looks like a penis with ears

He praised Trump's immigration ban EO that was unconstitutional, but when Obama issues an EO that was constitutional, he complains, yet on the other side of his mouth supports it because it's personally politically advantageous for him to do so.

So he's still a shitstain, and perhaps even more so.

3. I have to wonder

what his motivation is. I cannot allow myself to believe that it is simply because of fairness.

8. Really Ricky?

“President Obama was wrong to address the Dreamers issue by Executive Order. He should have done it in conjunction with Congress, which is how we make laws in our democracy,” -- you are absolutely correct. In an ideal situation he should have been able to do that but are you under some misguided belief that the rethug Congress would have been willing to work with BHO on this issue when they vowed to work against his agenda. The EO was the only way he could have passed DACA and we all know that -- so, cut the BS.
