DACA recipients are mostly “adult illegal aliens”

DACA contributed to a “surge of minors” streaming across the border

While it’s true there has been a surge of unaccompanied minors crossing the border in recent years, there’s a lot of disagreement on whether it has anything to do with DACA. The program was implemented in 2012, while the border surge started a year earlier, in 2011. One study by San Diego State University researchers in 2015 found the surge had much more to do with increasing violence and worsening economic conditions in Central American countries, which were forcing people to flee.

DACA granted unauthorized immigrants the same benefits as Americans, including Social Security

By saying “other benefits,” Sessions seems to imply that immigrants with DACA protection are getting the same public benefits as ordinary American families. That’s not true. DACA workers are not eligible for Obamacare subsidies, Medicaid, food stamps, or cash assistance. The statement also makes it sound like DACA workers are depleting Social Security funds, when in fact the opposite is happening.

DREAMers took jobs from “hundreds of thousands of Americans”

This is almost certainly false. The economic evidence is very clear that immigration is a huge boon for Americans as a whole.

1. when the 'president' lies continually, it's only fair that his appointees lie continually.

4. it's a requirement for the job

there is nothing to stop the * Administration from Gaslighting like this on any issue. no way for the fractured 4th Estate to stand up to it; the conservative media is there to subvert any pushback and catapult the propaganda.

just lie, and dare anyone to do something about it.
