Lawmakers and advocates on both sides began to stake out positions Monday for an extended public fight over whether Congress should provide legal status to young undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” as President Trump is preparing to rescind Obama-era protections for them.
Moderate congressional Republicans, and even some conservatives, suggested that they are open to crafting a legislative deal that could offer permanent legal status to hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been in the country illegally since they were children. Democrats lambasted Trump for his expected decision and called on the GOP to join them to protect the dreamers. from the Washington Post.
The Department of Dream Suppression,
In consequence of the demand
From pinch-hearts for some hammer action
Is currently scouring the land
For reveries, bubbles, and trances
That young people harbor too long --
Along with ideas that are gentle
And lead to blank verses or song.
It’s hoped that these troublesome people
Will turn themselves in for inspection --
So DDS agents won’t have to
Arrest them for their own protection.
If you see a youth with delusions
Or anyone on a rainbow,
Dial 888 in a hurry
Then head to your cellar below.
Desperate measures are needed
To stem this remarkable tide
Of dreamers who live here in stillness,
And need a departing joyride.
