Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals. DREAMERS. Innocents. Blameless. They did nothing wrong. Why do wrong to them?

There are about 900,000 of them I think. What is the proper punishment for those who are guilty of stripping them of their dreams, their homes, their lives, their futures? How is that a conscionable thing to do?

    Fund the wall...all $20B and end chain immigration,  end VISA lottery then we will pass DACA.
    No body wants to deport the DACA young adults.

  • Certain folks among us try to portray an effort to regulate and control immigration as a concerted effort to persecute children and young people. The truth is, there have always been immigration laws. We have decided not to enforce those existing regulations. Naturalized citizenship has become a joke if those who circumvent it, get all of the protection and benefits without any of the responsibility, It's all take and no give when you're allowed to dodge taxes and disobey the law and receive protection in the process. Think of it this way: If American citizens won't vote Democratic, create a constituency that will. The recent government shut down is one more example of how far these politicians will go to place this travesty above everything.

    The DACA recipient grew up here. We should have handled their parents along time ago, when they came in. But we did not. So this is the situation.  It is not the DACA young adults  fault. They should be offered some way to become legal. Their parents should under no circumstances be allowed ton become a cititzen...legal status maybe if they are not criminals etc.

    Goodness! Start the sad violin music and let the tears flow.  Actually they are the legacy of liberalism and looking the other way.   Why can't they be dreamers, innocent and blameless elsewhere?  Why do we need to pay their bills?  Or fulfill their dreams?  Or guarantee them a future?
