The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order isn’t good for working-class America. It’s a matter of simple supply and demand: More people available for jobs means lower wages and benefits for all. So why are politicians from both parties trying to jam it down our throats?

Actually, that’s simple, too. For the Democrats, flooding America with unskilled, uneducated people means they finally get their socialist utopia. They create a permanent lower-class majority and a permanent ruling class: the Democratic Party.

DACA is an Obama program — check for yourself. Trump should send them back to where they came from, along with their parents. This would be cheaper in the long run. If we need more people, we can make our own! They never should have been here in the first place.

If Mr. Trump signs off on DACA, they know his base will desert him. His first term as president will effectively be over and there will be zero chance of re-election. America first, Mr. President, or you are done!
