Plot Twist: DACA Recipients Protest Outside DNC Headquarters, Say They're 'No Longer Democrats'

For years conservatives have said Democrats main motivation behind the DACA program and protecting illegal aliens is to garner voters. And now, there's video evidence to support that very claim.

A group of DACA recipients protested outside of the DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Monday. The protesters' goal was to let Democrats know that they're no longer going to be affiliated with their party. 

According to the DACA recipients, Democrats have done nothing to take away the fear of deportation and they've been fighting for rights for too long.

"It's not fair that every two years I have to reapply to this program [DACA] and live with anxiety for two to three months wondering if I'm going to be able to continue building my life in this country, wondering if I'm going to continue helping my parents," one girl cried into the microphone. "I don't know if I'm going to go visit my parents one day and they won't be there because they left for deportation."

She then recounts her childhood of growing up being illegal.

"When I was growing up I had to tell my little brother, on the way home from school, that it'd be okay because some days he would start crying, thinking that mom and dad wouldn't be home when we got there."

A young man took the microphone. "They've ignored us for too long. I'm no longer going to be a Democrat," he said. "I'm no longer going to help them exploit my people. So, to the Democrats: do your job. And to my friends and family: I'm sorry."

The next time Democrats try telling us that we're being paranoid and racist about non-citizens voting in our elections, remind them of this group.
