I Have no problem supporting a trump deal where these 800,000 ,are made eligible for citizenship if they jump through some hoops, have no criminal background, and are not allowed chain immigration benefits in exchange for the wall and the raise act. Particularly if they were brought here under the age of 10, remained here for 15 years and have no real ties to their prior country, Mexico. Maybe it’s the Christian in me, but I can live with that charitable compromise. I can also live with no deal and letting them face the constant threat of deportation and no voting rights. Go figure.
That’s about where I’m at. I’m not a hardliner on DACA and am okay with Trump trading it for leverage in other areas. I want the wall and I want chain migration ended. We can absorb and assimilate the 800,000 “dreamers”. But let’s get something out of the deal.
We are going to get scammed again by illegal immigration legislation “deals” via both parties.
I’ve been called some pretty bad things on FR for suggesting the very same sentiments a few years back. I still say “keep the (good) kids, DEPORT the parents”
Amazing to see all the amnesty whores coming out of the wood work.
Also no more chain migration, as it is becoming quite obvious that was the intent of normalizing "dreamers" by making them eligible for a parole and eventual permanent status, where they could then pull in all near and distant blood relations.
