DACA is Illegal

For many of them, this IS their "home nation", the only one they have ever known.

Stop the program. Allow no new admissions. Figure out some compromise for those currently enrolled.

Nope. Your way means we have rewarded the parents. Boot the. Boot them all. If they want to return let them apply from their home countries.

This is how you prevent future occurrences.

We have to do more than that. 800,000 are registered for DACA. It is estimated at least half of them are not qualified. When you have people that were "in the shadows" then it is not difficult to make false statements when the left has no interest in checking out your application.

I didn't say anything about the parents. Deport them if you want, but some kid who was brought here as a young child and has grown up in this country and has really known nothing else does not deserve to be punished for the sins of his parents.

You are an American by accident of birth. You did nothing to deserve it. You just happened to be born in the right place. I would argue that many of these kids, including a bunch who served this nation in the military are ideologically as American as you are.

Vet them. Treat the ones who are not qualified as the law requires.

Lose our country to whom? To deport people to a foreign country where they sometimes don’t even know the language is inhumane. We are better than that as a country.

No, it doesn't. It actually goes against the very ideals that made this country the greatest in the world.

We lose our country to wave after wave after wave of people who come here illegally.

Boot them. Yes, it is harsh but it is on their parents, not us.
