Ugh, Joni spoke on the ending of the dreamer protections [View all]

Joni opened her trap about the dreamers

"America has been and always will be a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. However, many young undocumented children were brought here by parents, caretakers, and so forth through no fault of their own. As I have stated many times before, we must show compassion toward these children. While I do not support giving them citizenship, we must identify and pursue a measured approach that addresses their unique situation, but also respects the importance of our immigration laws and discourages future illegal immigration.


What a way to punt on the issue Joni. A lot of these dreamers may not even remember the country they came from, and knew the United States as their only home.
