Flake: 'Nobody' Should Support Trump's Pledges On Wall, Ending DACA Program

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) on Sunday said that “nobody ought to support” President Donald Trump’s proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border if the President is referring to a literal physical barrier.

“Why should he go back on this promise, which was very popular among Republicans in places like your state?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Flake on “State of the Union,” referring to Trump’s pledge to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“Because it would be the right thing to do,” Flake replied. “Obviously you hope that presidents keep some of their campaign promises and you hope that they ignore others. This is one that he ought to ignore.”

He said young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and are granted legal status under the DACA program “should not be punished for the sins of their parents.”

I hate the guy also, and have been working against him since he was elected. He just happens to be smart enough to know "which side his bread is buttered on", as we used to say, here in AZ. But he's a right-wing publican, just like all the rest of them.

We are a nation of immigrants, we all come from somewhere - unless we're Native American, which says it all. And that includes Trump.

It is well-past time for you to stand up and take a VIGOROUS stand for what you know is right. DACA is right. tRump* is wrong. tRump*s birther bullshit WAS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. *EVERYTHING* emanating from the orange abomination is WRONG!
