“The future of undocumented immigrants in the United States looks bleak — and that's not because President Donald Trump's chief of staff called a whole lot of them lazy.
John Kelly told reporters Tuesday that he "doubts very much" that Trump would extend the March 5 deadline for the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program during an impromptu interview outside the U.S. Capitol, closing the door on the "love" Trump had in mind when tackling immigration. But Kelly's characterization of undocumented immigrants that didn't register for DACA that raised the most eyebrows.
"There are 690,000 official DACA registrants and the president sent over what amounts to be two and a half times that number, to 1.8 million," Kelly told reporters. "The difference between 690,000 and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses but they didn't sign up."
It's unclear who Kelly was quoting when he called immigrants lazy, but it is obvious he is expressing contempt for so-called dreamers.”*
