I would deport the children along with the parents, period. They have no right to My house.Comprehensive is nothing but code for "hide shit from the American people."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!
Immigration to this country should be meticulous and difficult. We WANT to make it difficult so that WE can control the riff-raff that exists in the world and keep them from coming here. This is not uncompassionate. It is NOT compassionate to allow just anyone entry.
Now, for the children of illegals. If they were not born here, they leave with their parents, grandparents. If they were born here then a few considerations have to be addressed.
1. Are they minors unable to fend for themselves? If so, they get a social security number with associated documentation, and when they come of age, they can return to their home country; or they become wards of the State.
2. If they are at or above the age of emancipation, then they can remain and work or school themselves into a good life like the rest of us.
Any consideration about 'separating children from parents' will be treated as the crap argument it is. We don't care about separating parents and children when parents commit crimes and go to jail. Treat it the same way.
Finally, to address the 'through no fault of their own' argument.
If a family were to barge into someone's home and began eating the food, abusing the hospitality, running up the bills, you'd kick them out of the house. You would NOT kick out just the adults and allow the kids to remain, would you? Interlopers are interlopers, end of story.
Please refrain from insulting people with this, "Have a heart" specious argument. This is about Americans, where is your heart for them?
So if a "family" barged in you would jail the children with the parents for the same crime?
Talk about "insulting".
