Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger issued the following statement with respect to the Board of Supervisors’ approval today of motions concerning DACA, which included implementing a travel ban to the nine states that demanded the DACA program be phased out:
“I am supportive of the DACA program. Upon enactment of this program on June 15, 2012, President Obama stressed that DACA was intended to serve as ‘a temporary stopgap measure’ in anticipation of comprehensive immigration reform. Congress has had five years to act, and they have failed.
“President Trump recently announced the phase out of the DACA program in an attempt to force Congress to act on immigration reform, now. Not phasing out DACA had the potential for an adverse ruling similar to the unconstitutionality of DAPA.
“The President has given Congress six months to do their job and immediately pass immigration reform legislation such as the DREAM ACT, bipartisan legislation that would create a legal process for young ‘Dreamers’ to earn lawful permanent residency.
“For far too long, our broken immigration system has plagued our communities and it’s time to stop the perpetual cycle of fear and inaction. We must be at the forefront of this issue through proactive participation and unite the county in our pursuit of comprehensive immigration reform, the real solution.”

Tic toc days are waisting away tic toc tic toc 6 months, 5, 4, 3, ohhhhhh nooooooo 2, 1 bye bye ??
Wow, you are cruel.
Priscilla Herman Lundgren nope just honest! You may want to try it instead of believing in unicorns ?
Christopher William , to comment in a joyful, comical, and non empathetic manner about children being displaced out of their homes and country is indeed cruel. I have no idea why you think a mythical character has anything to do with this.
Priscilla Herman Lundgren for one they’re not children there average age is between 20 and 35 years old and here’s my question to you why haven’t they applied for citizenship? they haven’t they’re still illegal, what they’re doing with it is an unconstitutional executive order that should’ve never been passed in the first place, it will be removed they will be removed they shouldn’t be here in the first place plus, like I said they’re not children you need to read up on it they’re 20 to 35 years old and have never applied for citizenship!! So I guess your ok with adults not asking for citizenship, bleeding out of our Social Security system, and on welfare where other people that are working hard to become legal citizens, I can’t believe you have not figured it out, read some history you may learn something or go pet your unicorn! You are part of the problem!
DACA is for persons 15 and older. To me a 15yo is still a child. http://www.lsc-sf.org/how-we-can-help/immigration-services/deferred-action-for-childhood-arrivals-daca/. And what I said was that you are a cruel person for becoming giddy at the idea of separating a person from their home. Becoming a citizen takes years. Has he thought occurred to you that many are in the process of becoming a citizen? And what do you mean by “you people?” And what’s with the unicorns?
Wow look it up not that omg ? San Francisco ?
Wow, what’s the average age? 25 to 30 why is it ok for illegal adults that won’t even ask for citizenship here be allowed to stay you have an answered my question! I’ll wait…..

Still haven’t answered my straight direct question to you!
Christopher William you can wait all you like. The age begins at 15. And my point was you’re cruelty and inhumanity. Your inability to stay on topic is disappointing.
I thought so, you can’t answer a direct question about illegal adults that came here that are 25 to 35 years old that will not apply for citizenship you are part of the problem!
Priscilla Herman Lundgren Thank you for making my point! Priscilla, Sorry to all the people that did it legally, it’s people like this that cause us to have problems in the USA. they are still illegal and will be gone soon. Then they can come back and do it illegally like everyone else sorry you couldn’t answer the question how embarrassing ?
Priscilla Herman Lundgren — you know where is your passion for American children. Tries “children” are 20-30 yrs old. Have jobs that belong to Americans,medical care that belongs free for American children, scholarships that American children would love to have, and parents working for cash, and living off the American taxpayer. Many came here with coyotes not parents. Many are gang members too. So let’s get real about this mess Obama created and should have fixed!!
Christopher William, you are just racist idiot.
Truth
Illegal is still illegal!
Mighty compassionate of you
If only the US government cared about Americans half as much as they care about dreamers, errrr… illegals.
Baloney!
Oh the poor put upon white men and women. This entire social is based on your needs
The beta has spoken…
Illegal is Illegal, ship them bsck to their country where they came from!!
I smell a racist
Your Point?
Hey Barger, absolutely not, no, no, no, they had plenty of time to apply for citizen ship and did not do it, their parents broke the law, enough of this nonsense…
Down the Rabbit Hole we go….!
Uhh…DUH…at least someone understands the constitution. One thing the left seems to forget is that congressional inaction is in fact an action. If they do nothing then they have decided that DACA kids don’t get special treatment.
I support DACA (: 100%
I SUPPORT DACA ONE HUNDRED PERCENT…????????
You are an idiot!
Well Carolyn Salin this idiot like you said it is about to serve this country for you and your family that means I am more patriot than yourself..now what about you??..besides inyecting heroin to yourself what have you done for this country….hahahahahaha..because that is how you look to me a drug adict hahahahahahahaha!!!!
#StopWithTheDACAposts.
Reminder, this is a local news site and there has been 3 of these posts today alone.
One more post short of un liking a page that used to host relevant SCV content.
Time to go illegals
The kids didn’t voluntarily break our laws. Give them amnesty . . . . When their parents voluntarily self-deport. Then we’ll see how much they really wanted a better life for their children.
Dreamers are more successful than our millennials. They aren’t spoiled brats.
Good old SCV white reactionary racists.
Hope they Deport them all
What is the issue? President Obama knew his action went beyond the law. President Trump simply turned the tables on a do nothing Congress (Dem and Rep), he placed the burden right back on them.
