Jose Magana, an immigration attorney who is also a DACA recipient, appeared with Fox News host Tucker Carlson to voice his thoughts on an immigration plan proposed and supported by several Republicans.
Carlson slyly asked Magana for his opinion on varying topics – would he vote for Donald Trump if he’s granted a path to citizenship under this plan, whether the new plan would cut legal immigration numbers, deportation policies, etc.
Then, when all was said and done, much like the WWE’s the Rock back in his heyday, Carlson essentially told the DREAMer ‘it doesn’t matter what you think!’

On following immigration laws or proposed immigration laws, Carlson said: “It’s our country, you don’t have to come if you don’t want.”
“It’s my country too, Tucker,” Magana responded.
“I don’t think it is because I don’t think you are a citizen,” Carlson pointed out.
A little reminder that those here illegally do not dictate what our country does or what our immigration policy should be.

Re: Ur “conversation” with #JoseMagana: I am sick & tired of illegal migrants feeling ENTITLED, esp. after they’ve taken advantage of what USA offers, “bragging”of his property and business ownership, and then taunting “US” to kick him out.#Deport#GetInLine— Geri (@gerig52) February 13, 2018
Carlson then went on to remind Magana that he and his fellow DREAMers could be deported at any time.
“These are people who came here illegally, we have no duty to keep them,” he explained. “We could deport them, including you. No offense, I’m just saying, like, it’s a country.”
Magana responded by saying he’d hope Tucker wouldn’t deport him.
“Lots of countries deport people, lots of them. Dominican Republic, Japan, Israel, a lot of countries do,” Carlson explained.
“Well, we don’t set our immigration policy based on other countries,” Magana responded.
“We don’t,” Carlson shot back. “I’m just saying we have no moral responsibility to deal with people who aren’t citizens, because our responsibility is to citizens.”
Tucker @TuckerCarlson – If non-citizen grinning in your face Jose Magana is here illegally and promoting more illegal activity – he should be deported immediately. #ICE

Magana got owned. And he may want to quit his day job too. How can an immigration lawyer who has been in the country for 30 years but can’t figure out how to apply for legal citizenship be any good at what he does?
Not to mention he doesn’t understand this one simple fact – It’s not his country.
Thank you for reminding him, Tucker.
Do you think illegals and DREAMers should be telling our country how to solve immigration problems? Tell us why or why not in the comments section below!

Hell no, they should not have any consideration. That is what ILLEGAL means. If they are so gifted they should be able to thrive in their home country. Take these gifts America has given you and go make your country a better place.
Listen, when my kids were small, we took them to a Middle Eastern country for over four years for our jobs and they did not speak a word of that language nor understand anything about that culture or the religion yet they survived. Later, we had to bring them back to this country and although they still knew the language, it was a totally different country to them, but they adapted. PEOPLE ADAPT.
You logic won’t fly.
The man is a lawyer and the concept of legal vs illegal does not seem to register with him. He is TOTALLY ignoring the fact that he is an ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN himself and has no damned business here. How in the world did he pay for his expensive education? We have a granddaughter in college and her parents are struggling to pay for it..even though it is a supposedly cheap state school plus she has to work and Grandma sends her as much as she can. How do they do it? Do they get special grants or aid or scholarships not available to LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS?
Living in Arizona I know a few of these dreamers brought to this country illegally when young by no fault of their own. I’m totally against illegal coming here taking our jobs while sucking the welfare system dry . But these dreamers America is the only country they know. A few don’t even speak Spanish. If you want to deport someone start with the ones that brought them here.
Trump said it right; “Americans are dreamers too!” MAGA!!!!
We are all illegal we took land by murder, not war, murder. Oh and all you say he isn’t an American they have to go, your not gonna like this, none of you are American. American is a made of word. Take a DNA test, and I promise it will never say, your American
I have murdered no one and have also never owned a slave so you must have a turd in your pocket when you say “we”.
How can you be so incredibly stupid? Even though I am part Cherokee, that has nothing to do with my legality.
Yes, the Indians were treated badly, but what people were not treated badly at one time or another? Get over yourself.
By your logic then, we should bring in every muslim, hispanic, etc. that wants to come in…most of them wanting to come either to destroy this country or get a free ride.
That snarkly little f*ck should be deported immediately for his arrogant assumptions that HE and not US determine WHAT the law means–As Tucker says, other countries are far less bothered by deporting ANY illegal entries within their borders–We have NO obligation to act otherwise, period!
I would like to have seen ICE standing at the front door of FOX arrest this illegal alien and driven him straight to the border and kick him in the butt so hard he would not have landed until he was in Mexico City. #Build the wall #Obey the law deport them all— Dan French
He took an American’s place in college. He took another American’s place in law school. He’s competing with American immigration lawyers. ‘Nuff said. Give him the boot.
Can’t vote . . .?
Not a citizen . . .!
Not ‘American’ . . .!
” . . . et omnia evil . . .!”
I haven’t seen one blue collar worker who hasn’t watched american jobs be taken from americans by cheap illegal immigrant labor. It’s past time for jail sentences for those caught hiring illegal immigrants. Lock a few up for a couple of years as a warning to the rest of the rich employers and see how fast illegals are out of work.
That’s the trouble with these Dreamers. They think they are the only one dreaming of living here. We have American citizens who dream big as well. Stay in your home country and try and fix it instead of coming up here and trying to destroy ours.
I believe that the path to citizenship should be lowered to 10 years and if theyaren’t citizens by then they are put on a plane and dropped off where they came from. No Questions!!! Also that until they are citizens they aren’t entitled to any entitlements .. which means not entitled to vote or gold any political office, no welfare, etc. I think this would give them more than enough incentive to get the process complete … OBTW English is their first language!!!!
I vote we deport the funny guy in Carlson’s video, let’s see how he laughs at that?
He needs to go to the top of the list. Here the fool is arguing that someone here illegally needs to be made legal so he can bring in his entire damned village with him. NO WAY. That makes no sense.
Get it straight Magana….IT’S NOT YOUR COUNTRY FOOL! So you may want to keep your mouth shut before you get the boot right out of here! Idiot!
Someone ought to get this guy out of here. Illegals are just that, He knows it and is thumbing his nose at all of us.
If we really wanted to irritate the DACA we could re-write our immigration laws so they were identical to Mexico’s and then enforce them like Mexico does.
Craig, That is an awesome idea.
DACA is a symptom. Failure to protect our borders and enforce our laws are problems. Voters don’t elect people to treat symptoms; they elect them to do the HARD job of fixing real problems. Our government was created to protect the rights of our citizens, not the rest of the world, and it is the job of Congress to do that work and no other. They are not doing their jobs, and instead of protecting our rights they are violating them.
The argument about splitting up families is 100% nonsense. Those families obviously have the option to go back and be together if that is what they want most. But life, like Congress, is about tough choices. Congress has had many opportunities to fix the problems. They once treated the symptom with promises to fix the problem – they lied. So, now we all understand that treating the problem must come FIRST; then fix the symptom. Those who vote against fixing the problem? Include a provision in the bill that all dissenters be stripped of citizenship and deported. Let them then try to seek a legal path to citizenship, and perhaps come to realize what a treasure it is – something they obviously do not comprehend today.
NO, IT’s their “RIGHT” to come here AND bring everyone THEY choose!! —- NOT!!!!
This mentality is what is wrong with Our Immigration Policies!! If DACA kids have failed to apply for and gain US Citizenship…..send them AND their parents (plus siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents) back to their country of origin, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE!!
America for AMERICANS!!! MAGA!! Build Me a WALL!!!
Someone enlighten me. How can one be admitted to the Bar and practice law and appear in court if they are NOT a citizen????
Good question…I hadn’t thought of that. I guess you don’t have to be a citizen of this country if you can pass the bar.
Kick them all out!! Totally fed up with DACA immigrants & their ungrateful, entitlement attitudes!

The guest appeared like an arrogant entitled little snob. Apparently he is a trained attorney. Apparently he still doesn’t get the fact that he is here illegally. Why hasen’t he a citizen yet if he likes it here?
Just thought of another one! When someone is going under an operation that could save life or end it, does that patient tell the surgeon where and how to do the surgery and demand the entire operation be completed in a specific amount of time?
Do persons arrested-charged-tried for crime tell the judge at sentencing what the judge is supposed to do? Are people taking their drivers test tell the administrator they are qualified for a license no matter how badly they drive? DACAs are just as ridiculous when they try to tell us crap like in this article.
No amnesty ever. No DACA, no dreamers, no anchor babies, no chain migration, no illegal aliens period. Deport any and all illegal aliens! E-Verify all potential employees for American jobs! Charge criminally and jail all employers who hire illegal aliens! We are a sovereign nation of laws and Illegal means illegal. No illegal acts should ever be rewarded. American benefits should be for American citizens only! Send ICE to their address and deport any and all illegal aliens found now! Bring back “Operation Wetba_k”. It worked in the 1950s and it would work today if properly implemented. Build the wall now!
