DACA is about young people, brought here as children. They didn't have a choice. ...
That is not the case for a great many of them.

If they are underage when they came here then yes...they did not have a choice.

You never had a choice in anything you did before you turned 18? Really?

I would have been hard pressed not to move with my parents. Perhaps between 16-18...more choice. But younger? Seriously? Minors are minors.
Well, these dreamers have been children of the USA for a good long while. What do we expect of them anyway? When little Pedro turned 9 and found out he was brought here illegally, he should have escaped back to Mexico or called the cops on his parents maybe? There's no precedent for what's going on but we have people that think it's ok to say that money is speech, that the koch billionaires can pick who gets to be president, that corporations are citizens, and that mitt romney can live in this country and claim the Cayman Islands as his residence for tax purposes. Kinda outrageous, no? Never hear the right wing crybabies on this site complain about that. They mostly bitch about the poor and minorities then wonder why those people vote democrat. We do need immigrants to this country, and we already have them in the form of the dreamers and they're for the most part assimilated to our country.
94% of illegal adult males work, 65% pay taxes, and 35 percent own houses. Pass the goddamn SSID card that can't be faked, so we can end this GOP b*******.There are better jobs at home, but they would rather be a ward of the state in the US.
Actually, the overwhelming majority come here to work
Unlike conservative depictions of them being murderers, rapists and drug dealers....most are hard workers trying to live under the radar
Come here to work so they can live good in Mexico. They are only here because they don’t have food stamps in Mexico. Say, please school is and point to one wet back who has invented anything? The criteria is, it can not include spray paint, dick tape or gorilla glue. Bet you can’t.
What I just heard is, "If you pick a random male illegal immigrant, it is a better bet that he's NOT paying taxes than he is."
I'm not really impressed by your "good" news. 75% of the ones paying taxes are using fraudulent SS numbers, once again harming American Citizens.
Yeah, but that’s a victimless crime. They just want a better life is all.
Actually...we don't need enforcement we need a major overhaul. It's an antiquated cumbersome system full of loopholes and vague categories and people have to wait way to long to enter the country legally..
That would require bipartisanship. It can't get done in a budget bill and shouldn't if it's to be lasting and comprehensive.
Unfortunately I'm not sure the odds for bipartisanship are very good.
It maybe useful for everyone to recognize the marginal problem with immigration was created after passing The 14th Amendment. That's the one that lets anyone born on The U.S.A.'s soil become a citizen and so foreigners bypass official channels to immigration because birth itself defines citizenship. (As my mom or my boss told me) The 14th Amendment was passed to close the loophole preventing freed slaves from enjoying citizenship.
As near as I can tell before The Civil War the states had the biggest responsibility in determining citizenship. It'd be interesting to consider returning to that. It'd certainly add diversity to The U.S.A.. On the other hand this world is already diverse; many countries create the same result.
It sure seems as if everything's gotten really polarized and extreme. Congress is supposed to be about getting people from across the country together to solve common problems. Now it's people picking a side and trying to beat the other one.
Deportations of South American/Mexican illegal immigrants actually increased under Obama. Haven't heard anything about illegal Irish and Canadian immigrants.
