Illegal aliens shielded from deportation under the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are staging a hunger strike in the days leading up to Thanksgiving Day.
The group of illegal aliens from New Jersey have promised to not eat until Thanksgiving, according to WNYC, while they lobby Republican members of Congress to pass an amnesty for the nearly 800,000 DACA recipients in the U.S.
“I’m sitting here looking at my last meal and trying to imagine what my meals would be like if I was sent back to Mexico,” DACA illegal alien Adriana Delgado told WNYC.
“People think that I’m crazy for doing this hunger strike but I’m willing to suffer for three days if it means not suffering for a lifetime,” Delgado continued. “There will be thousands of families who will have broken dinner tables if nothing is done.”
The group of illegal aliens is demanding an unconditional amnesty that permanently allows all DACA recipients to remain in the United States and puts them on a pathway to citizenship, when they can eventually bring their foreign relatives to the U.S. as well.
The DACA recipients say they are not satisfied with an amnesty that ties the legalization of potentially 3.3 million eligible illegal aliens to pro-American immigration reforms like an end to chain migration or the termination of the Diversity Visa Lottery.
In September, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced on behalf of President Donald Trump’s administration that the DACA program would officially be ended in March 2018.
Since the announcement, the Democrat and GOP political establishments have teamed up with the open-borders lobby, corporate interests, and the cheap-labor industry to push an end-of-the-year amnesty.
An amnesty, though, remains incredibly unpopular with Americans. Most recent polling from Morning Consult and POLITICO revealed that only 23 percent of swing-voters said DACA amnesty should be a “top priority” for Congress, Breitbart News reported.
Overall, fewer than 30 percent of Americans say they support a quick amnesty deal. Even among Democrat voters, amnesty is becoming more and more unpopular, with fewer than 45 percent Democrats wanting Congress to push through an amnesty deal.

hope they starve
Starve assholes!!!!
Breitbart giving these turds publicity IS the political exposure they want. Should just ignore them.
BTW: They won’t be too inconvenienced by a 3 day fast. Jesus made it 40 days. Let’s see them try THAT one.
They’re welcome to come to my house. I volunteer to assist them in every way possible to protest this travesty until Christmas…
2018
They could try the all natural hunger strike. Join the military and then become a homeless veteran that’s not trying to steal a citizenship. Then it wouldn’t be just Thanksgiving. They could enjoy an empty belly for years. But that’s ok. They’re dreamers and deserve it more(?)…
Sorry motherfu¢kers.
I’ve never understood hunger strikes. They are self inflicted, so who cares? It’s like a bratty 13 year old who tries to manipulate you by “withholding their quality time with the family”. Who cares?
ya….now, if they were to hold their breath until thanksgiving…that would make a statement
WTFC about you a$$holes…….more turkey for meeeeee
I’ll make a turkey burrito with the leftovers and eat it in their honor 🙂
mmmm…. 🙂
Ummm…correct me if I’m wrong on this but…isn’t Thanksgiving an AMERICAN holiday? These sorry ingrates are not American and therefore don’t recognize/celebrate this holiday.
On a side note, if they’re all gathered together in protest, it should make an easy job for ICE to round them up.
This is getting serious folks! I’ve never known a Mexican (and I know a lot of em) that could go more than 3-4 hours without eating. I think this bunch means business!
Great! Starve to death! We’ll be glad to send your corpses back to your home countries.
I needed a really good laugh today and this is it! This will work as good as their so called day off from work to protest, and got fired to boot!! For pete’s sake i would not call that a hunger strike, do you think one day is going to do it???? hehehehehehehehhehhehehehehehe!!!

Now try imagining looking down the barrel of the gun of an American national that has zero use for you thieving, invading @ssholes.
Wouldn’t even waste the body bags to send you back, or send you, period.
Don’t stop at Thanksgiving, you low-life, border-jumping, drug-smuggling, daughter-raping, piece of wetback trash. Feel free to starve yourself right to death.
Instead of going on a hunger strike, why not slice up one of your six food-stamp cards?
Hunger strike. That’s funny. These pieces of trash eat like kings while American starve, and they really think we’re going to feel guilty about him passing up a Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of the US Taxpaying gringos here’s here to kill?
I don’t want to shoot the wetbacks because it’s too easy. I’d rather beat ’em to death with a baseball bat because I’d get to enjoy it for a while.

Was it another wetback they offed? He’s “undocumented” so he doesn’t really exist here. If so, let em reduce the invader numbers until they meet an American who buttons em up. No loss either way until they’re all gone or dead.
