DACA individuals are a small percentage of the illegals in this country. They were given a promise. That "treaty" is now being broken. Or at least you would like it to be. I agree our laws should be followed and that illegal immigration should be stopped at the border. One of our legal agreements was to the DACA kids. We need to honor that by changing the law in regard to them. That is what this is about--only the DACA kids.Exactly! We need assert our sovereignty, and execute our laws sometime... Now is as good a time as any. After all... It only gets harder the longer we wait. I have yet to hear from the bleeding heart crowd; how letting th have their way benefits me; one of their own countrymen...This is when I have to ask...where is your heart?
These are people who were brought to the US as CHILDREN. Not their choice. For many - America is the only culture they know. They are as American as you or I...just don't have the right papers.
This is not a huge group of people - and they are people who are in school or employed or in the military - people making a go of it. The kind of people who define what it is to be American. They are working at or being educated for feilds such as teaching, nursing, law, medicine...kind of what we need.
We have low unemployment. They aren't taking jobs from anyone.
So why such vitriole towards them and the program?
I commend Paul Ryan for speaking up here.
And...I hesitantly commend Trump for at least finding it a STRUGGLE between his heart and his campaign promise.
I hope his heart wins.
Congress MUST address comprehensive immigration reform. The only reason Obama ordered DACA was because Congress WOULD NOT DO IT.
So do it damn it! Don't destroy these young and VERY AMERICAN lives!
This is what happens when our leaders keep kicking the can down the road.
Laws were broken. We all know they were.
It's a tough call, but don't blame the guy who FINALLY takes a stand. It's not his fault those before him looked the other way.
Had previous administrations done there jobs, these folks would not be here.
Oh, 20 trillion in debt don't help either.
Not broken, expired.
I have been amazed at how many DACA children were never told by parents that they were illegal.
