ABC News ^ | December 12, 2016 | Claudia Torrens, The Associated Press

Immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, but were protected from deportation by President Barack Obama, are being warned by some advocates to make sure they are not traveling abroad when Donald Trump is sworn in as president on Jan. 20.

Some advocates, lawyers and universities are concerned that Trump might immediately rescind an Obama program that had allowed these young immigrants to work and travel for humanitarian, educational or employment purposes.

That could lead, they fear, to some people traveling abroad being barred from re-entering the U.S....

My greatest fear is that the incoming administration will wuss out for ‘humanitarian’ reasons.

I understand setting priorities on who needs to get headed south first with the really bad illegals who’ve committed crimes at the top of the list. Let’s just not lose sight of the fact that every last one of them have broken immigration laws even if they were brought in as babes in arms. Solving that dilemma will require the wisdom of Solomon, IMO.

People who grew up here and speak English without an accent are basically Americans and should be allowed to stay. It’s the only just thing to do.

The important next move is to bar new immigrants. We don’t need anymore.

Don’t fret it dreamers. Soon you’ll be back in your own home towns dreaming to your heart’s content.

particularly when it's to come here to breed for profit and make us slave longer hours at work to pay for it much to the amusement of a president that enjoys punishing the white slaves for perceived crimes they didn't commit. And he wants us to pay reparations. Sorry a-hole we've been paying it for years already.

“People who grew up here...”

I know you will get shamed here. BUT - I think that there is something that can be done regarding upstanding young people that were born here, or grew up here. One freeper had some pretty good thoughts I thought for steps to gain permanent citizenship.

Know English
Stay out of trouble with the law
Graduate high school or get a GED
Must enlist in military service for four years minimum.

And a bunch of other things. It was a good list with maybe 15 things on it.

Crack down or back down, only time will tell. I’m praying hard everyday for the former.

It may be like the child’s game of London Bridges falling down, trapping the Dreamers in the tight embrace of the law.

When these illegal immigrants are deported, they must be reminded that it is their parents—or whoever brought them illegally into the U.S.A.—who are to blame for their plight—and certainly not Americans who enforce long existing laws.

Yes it’s time they go back to their home country since they are not legally here, taking with them any skills or knowledge they were taught likely free of charge in our schools and colleges which they can use to try to straighten out their home country;’s problems.
