It’s like a doctor telling you you have 6 months to live but ‘nothing to worry about’ now.

It’s amazing how insulated this man is from the actual life of any person who has ever worked a day in their life. Your house burned down? That’s okay, go stay in the vacation house while you get the primary rebuilt!

We’ve had a lot of tone-deaf Republican presidents and presidential candidates over the years, but my God. “Don’t worry, you’re not being deported yet” absolutely takes the cake. It’ll be hard to top, but I have faith in Donald Trump.

And we all know that when Donald Trump makes a promise, he will keep it! Rest easy, Dreamers.

Hopefully in six months, we’ll have a different President.

If Donnie says “don’t worry”, be very, very worried.

On one hand, hope so too. On the other hand, I sincerely doubt Mikey would have any problems siccing vigilante squads armed with address information out to arrest all of those brown people.

When Republicans keep repeating their talking point about “we’re a nation of laws”, I hope the injustice of the Arpaio pardon gets out there loud and clear. The guy should be in jail. The dreamers should not be the pawns when elected officials can’t get their act together.

Oh FFS, shut the f**k up.
You have ended the program and upended their lives. Leave them be.
I am enraged by this “let them eat cake” tweet.

Tell a guy sitting on death row with an execution date of March 7th, 2018 “You don’t have anything to worry about for the next six months!! Just go about your normal business and let us work on what happens after that.”

For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about - No action!

That’s reassuring. A death row prison warden couldn’t have said it better.

I see @steviedee111 beat me to it.

Similarly, ‘Congress has six months to fix it’ does not inspire much besides dread.

Trump will tie any DACA legislation to funding for his wall.

All they are going to do is worry.

There are already 4 bills being submitted, ranging from Coffman (R-CO)'s bill which basically keeps DACA in place for 3 years so Congress can figure out a longer term solution (ie, kicking the can. Coffman is extremely worried about his re-election), to The American Hope Act submitted by Guiterrez (D-IL), which doesn’t have the military/work requirements the other bills has and provides for the fastest path to citizenship (5 years).

The American Hope Act already has 112 Democratic co-sponsors.

In between we have the Durbin/Graham bill and one that Curbelo (R-FL) has submitted, which are basically the same, and very similar to DACA, but vary a bit in their path to citizenship time lines. The WH has already indicated they aren’t interested in backing either of those bills.

Yep this doesn’t mean that ICE won’t pick up and detain you until deferment has expired of 6 months is up.

Or, like having a doctor tell you: “I wouldn’t worry about that lump. After all, it’s on you, not me.”
