Since the 14th Amendment was loosely attributed to confirm the children of illegal alien children born in the U. S. were citizens, DACA was pointless.
You can’t remove a citizen.
This mute point, seems to be a big bone of contention for some folks.
Citizen children of illegal immigrants have not been deported in the past, unless the parents who were deported took them with them by choice.
This is not Trump’s fault.
The 14th Amendment needs to be clarified. I don’t think it confers citizenship on these children. That needs to be confirmed. Then deport away.
You misunderstand what DACA is.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
These are illegal alien children born in their home countries to their illegal alien parents and brought here as children.
Some of these “children” being given work permits are 30 years old.
BTW, I agree with you that the 14th was never intended to be applied to children of illegal aliens and Congress needs to clarify that.
PS, the action being deferred is their deportation.
DACA illegals and children of illegals dropped on US clay are two different categories.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an American immigration policy started (illegally) by the Obama administration in June 2012 that allowed certain illegal aliens to the United States who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action.
I agree that the 14th shouldn’t be used to give citizenship to the children of illegal aliens: `cowbirds’ who laid eggs in our nest. But that’s something that remains to be addressed. (What kind of parents would leave their minor children behind? Unfit parents. A lot of the minors will go home too.)
In any event, 14th babies are legal, for now. DACA `minors’ are illegal aliens. DACA was and remains unsupported by federal law. Obama knew it but did it anyway. They have to go and ASAP.
But for now Trump is concentrating on the worst of the worst: killers, rapists, etc.: felons—although they are all lawbreakers.
Trump and his people are trying to deal with 25 years of executive malfeasance and constant `rat and MSM obstruction.
As he has stated, first, apprehend the really bad hombres; then start the wall and other security measures; then locate and remove the rest, including the DACAs while garnishing their wages, fining employers, and so forth and so on.
