STEINLE VERDICT MAKES DACA ROAD MORE ROCKY

Every cloud has a silver lining, and it looks like the recent horrendous verdict by a California jury to acquit illegal immigrant  Jose Zarate of all charges in the killing of Kate Steinle could have an upside, with it hardening opposition among Republican voters to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, better known as DACA. 

President Trump ended the program in September but gave Congress a six-month period to renew it through legislation. The unpunished murder of Steinle, who was killed after Zarate fired a gun at her in 2015, has generated a great deal of anger among Conservative voters, making it harder for Cuckservative GOP Congressmen to compromise with those pushing for a renewal of the amnesty covering 800,000 illegal childhood arrivals. 

Joe Guzzardi, a spokesman for Californians for Population Stabilization — a group that favours restrictions on immigration — said in a statement that DACA supporters now face an uphill battle.

"The verdict, which has outraged Americans coast-to-coast, makes a so-called clean DACA amnesty much tougher, but of course, not impossible," Guzzardi said. "Zarate’s acquittal has reignited the illegal immigration debate, and DACA recipients are part of that argument."

Democrat lawmakers realise the importance of DACA, as it effectively adds around 800,000 Democrat voters to the rolls, and they are prepared to take extreme measures to pass it. They are now threatening not to vote through funding for the government past the 8th December deadline if DACA is not included -- an obvious example of economic terrorism carried out to rig the electorate in their favour.

Republicans remain pathetically blind to this kind of political hardball, but the Steinle verdict, by angering their base, may give Republicans enough courage to decouple DACA from the funding vote and delay a decision until next year.

This would also move a DACA decision closer to a lot of reelection races, forcing cuckservative Republican Congressmen to consider the feelings of their voters. 

Melinda Jackson of the Political Science Department at San Jose State said Dreamers should be worried.

"As we move into the 2018 (political) season, I think this could make it more difficult for some Republicans — especially those up for re-election — to be willing to compromise on DACA. They don’t want to appear to be soft on crime or to be compromising too much with Democrats. This is clearly going to put the focus back on border security and making sure that immigrants who have committed crimes are held accountable for those crimes. Unfortunately, if I were a Dreamer, I would be very worried right now about what this means for my future."
