Hakeem Jeffries, the presumptive new Speaker of the House, appeared on PBS this week and said that we should bring back DACA recipients who have been deported and give them ‘remedial assistance.’
Is he talking about cash payments? Like a form of reparations?
Would the Democrats actually start reimporting people who have been deported? Could they actually be this stupid?
If they so much as try this, their new House majority won’t last long.
FOX News reports:
Jeffries promises ‘remedial assistance’ to anyone impacted by Trump immigration enforcement
House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., pledged “remedial assistance” to anyone he claimed had been treated “unfairly” by the Trump administration’s immigration policies during an interview on Tuesday.
After mentioning his commitment to affordability for Americans, Jeffries — who is hoping to be Speaker of the House in the new Congress next year — was asked on PBS about whether he would support DACA recipients being brought back to the U.S. amid the Trump administration’s crackdown.
“Certainly anyone, whether they are a citizen, whether they were here lawfully, whether there are DACA recipients [who have] been treated unfairly and unjustly by the administration, we need to provide remedial assistance to them and undo the damage that’s been done to the country, to law-abiding immigrant families, and to the American people over this last 20 months or so,” he said…
Democratic strategist Julian Epstein also criticized Jeffries’ statement, arguing that the Democratic Party appears to already be reverting to its old ways rather than fulfilling its promises of affordability.
“Democrats are falling back into the extremist open border trap. I’m still yet to hear concrete plans on making housing, energy, and healthcare more affordable.

Democrats just spent months running on affordability and it was all a lie.
They have not changed at all and the public is going to figure that out very quickly.
