thoughts on the end of DACA (kids brought to US illegally)
« on: September 05, 2017, 11:27:43 AM »
The DACA program should be ended. I have no doubts or reservations a bout that. But what I find odd and am not in total agreement with is what should be done with t he (now adults) who are already here who were under that program.

I think it is bizarre they should have to go live in Mexico when they haven't known any country but the US. Maybe that is not what is being proposed but it sounds like some are suggesting that

There should be no more applications but the ones who have only known this country (most of their lives) should be allowed to stay as long as they don't violate our laws...

that's my opinion until I am dissuaded from it by some piece of information I do not yet have

I think you could introduce a path to permanent residency or even citizenship. Everyone who's a part of this had a parent overstay a visa or something else - the child, today's adults, were just five or six. They all work and if they commit even one felony, they're out.

I assume this applies to children of illegal immigrants, not just those who overstay visas??
in any case, the child should not be punished by what "adults" have done to control said child's world.

Overstaying a visa is a form of illegal immigration.

Slippery slope here.

If parents want total control of their children (which I believe is what God intended) without government interference then yes the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children, and the children will pay the price.

We can't have it both ways.....but I guess that is politically incorrect.
