Move” And The “Executive Order For DACA Caused An Influx Of Tens Of Thousands Of Children From Central
America.” According to a CNN interview transcript with Rachel Campos-Duffy, CAMPOS-DUFFY: “The president's
executive order, another illegal move that he made this last summer, and executive order for DACA caused an influx of tens
of thousands of children from Central America, and it freaked people out. That's what happened.” [CNN Transcript, 11/9/14;

• LIBRE Initiative National Spokesperson Rachel Campos-Duffy: “I Just Kept Thinking About The Children
At The Border, And How His DACA Order Caused That.” According to Breitbart, “This summer’s border crisis
was a good illustration of the problems of the President’s approach, according to Campos-Duffy, who said it showed
the ‘unintended consequences’ of his decision to expand the protections under DACA (Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals) to the ‘most sympathetic group’ of immigrants — the ‘DREAMers,’ those brought here illegally
by their parents while they were young children — instead of letting Congress continue to work on legislation. She
said Obama’s actions were ‘completely politically motivated and not helpful to what the DREAMERs [sic] actually
wanted,’ and sharply criticized its lack of certainty and how it created incentives for parents to send their children on
the long, dangerous journey alone, where they suffered from heat, dehydration, and hunger and were all too often
abused and sexually assaulted along the way — if they even survived the trip. ‘I just kept thinking about the children at
the border, and how his DACA order caused that, and how he refused to visit the border and see what his policies
had wrought…he wouldn’t even go and visit them, he refused to come and got a pass from the press on that.’”

Campos-Duffy: DACA “Ruined” Immigration Reform Progress In Congress And “Scared Everybody” Because
There Were “A Lot Of Unintended Consequences” To It. According to the transcript of an interview with Rachel
Campos-Duffy on the Malzberg Show on NewsMax.com, “Everybody sort of agreed that the children were the innocent
victims in this whole situation and there was a lot of consensus among the most powerful members of the House, Cantor and
Boehner and Paul Ryan that in the very least, we could come up with a solution for the dreamers. And as soon as that started
to ferment and come into fruition, it started to look like it was going to happen, what does the president do? He did DACA.
He used an executive order, and again, it created this chaos. It was what started the whole influx of children from Central
America over into the border and what did that do? That, again, right when the House was ready to deal with the idea of a big
immigration reform bill, it ruined everything. It scared everybody. And they were like, wait a minute. There’s a lot of
unintended consequences to DACA and it created a, really, a stop there.” [NewsMax – Malzberg Show, 2014]
