Hilario Yanez, a DACA recipient who, as Democrats like to say, was brought here illegally as a child through no fault of his own, is praising President Trump for having the courage to tackle comprehensive immigration reform in the early stages of his presidency.
“Here’s a guy who wants to provide a pathway to citizenship for myself and really make a difference in my life,” Yanez, who prefers to go by Eli, said.
Eli stated that if providing this pathway includes a border wall for added security, then, by all means, start funding and build away.

He also believes those coming to the United States should follow a legal path and contribute to society.
“I think it’s time for people who want to come to the United States to focus … on skills so [they] contribute to the American economy right away,” he said.
Eli went on to shred top Democrats – specifically Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) – for shutting down the government over DACA, saying it was unnecessary as there is still nearly a month to come to a legislative agreement.
He believes the Democrat party has “no clear message” on immigration reform, other than to “use us as pawns.”

The DACA recipient then opined about President Trump’s legacy in a manner that had to leave Pelosi looking like this …
“At the end of the day, in terms of legislation … you’re possibly looking at one of the greatest presidents to get things done,” Eli claimed, citing tax cuts, immigration reform, and infrastructure.
The only thing holding him back from getting things done? Democrats.
“President Trump is willing to work with Democrats,” he said, “but at the end of the day it’s Democrats that don’t want to work with him.”
That is an evergreen statement.
After he was done throttling Democrats, Eli took a shot at liberal athletes who kneel for the National Anthem, saying he gets “goosebumps” when the “Star-Spangled Banner” plays and would never take a knee as they have.
