I defer to President Trump on that one:What exactly does 'treating them fairly' look like to a criminal who broke into your house through the window and now demands to be allowed to stay?That said, most Americans, myself included, do see that "Dreamers" need to be treated fairly. Deporting an 18 year old who arrived at 6 months is not an equitable solution.
Is it 'fair' that they knowingly came here and now expects the US Tax payer to pick up the tab?
There are no 'Dreamers' because the federal Dream Act was never passed by Congress, and since Immigration is controlled by the FEDERAL Govt the individual States' 'Dream Acts' still fall under the federal govt's ability to override them.
Just because the previous President allowed illegals to stay in this country for 6 months doesn't mean the next President must honor the last President's refusal to enforce existing US law.
I am not saying immediately kick their asses out, but don't tell me what is 'fair' to criminals who knowingly disrespected this country by breaking our laws to come here. We don't OWE them anything. If allowed to stay it will be due to the graciousness and generosity of the American people, not because we owe them anything.
Trump: 'We’re going to work something out' with Dreamers
In an interview with Time magazine announcing him as "Person of the Year," Trump didn't go into specifics but signaled that he could find a way to accommodate the Dreamers.
"We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” Trump told the magazine. “They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”
