President Donald Trump signaled a willingness to compromise on a key immigration issue — but then he blew it.
The president suggested during his State of the Union address that immigrants brought to the United States as children posed a threat to native-born Americans, and internet users were horrified.
“I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties — Democrats and Republicans — to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion and creed,” Trump said. “My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans — to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American Dream. Because Americans are dreamers too.”
Social media users pounded the president.
You people know that when he says America and Americans, he means white people, right? He has just lumped Hispanics, #DACA, undocumented immigrants w/ a murderous gang. He said Americans are Dreamers too, that's like when white ppl say "All Live Matter" #SOTU #Trump #Racist

And why the hell not, let’s take a swipe at Dreamers, who are Americans in every sense but on paper: “Because Americans are dreamers, too.” #SOTU

Basically the same idea as All Lives Matter. Just trying to discredit the other side and put white Americans ahead of everyone else. That’s not unity, that’s divisiveness. #SOTU
"Americans are dreamers too" is the new "all lives matter." #sotu

He had the odacity to say “Americans are dreamers too” ... no one is trying to take American dreams away in the first place. This is not a competition about nationalities. This is about human beings who have the right to live their dreams as much as Americans do.

"Americans are dreamers too" is the dumbest catchphrase ever. White people have been living their American dream since the day they sailed their asses over here. The only dream minorities had was to be free, and even that was asking for too much tf
