The parents brought their kids with them when entered America illegally. Those families have overwhelmed our schools, social services, medical care, prisons, etc.
Those “kids” are now called “Dreamers”. That term makes them sound noble and worth being granted amnesty. I’m not buying it.
Where are the parents now? Will they also be given amnesty?
Remember “anchor babies?” That gives the extended families amnesty too. That means grandparents, aunts, uncles and in-laws. Maybe families pets too. That’s not likely, but with dimorats you never know.
It won’t matter what controls are written into the act. The can will be rusting in the ditch again.
You are correct.
Trump is a builder. He has to demolish and dump the debris somewhere. He can’t dump into the river.
Also when going through the process of demolition, there are features of the old building that are desirable to preserve such as artworks, sculptures, facades, etc. These things can be gathered and reused. This is how builders think. This is how Trump thinks.
Many of the dreamer kids have been in American schools since kindergarten. They are fully Americanized. They have no place else to go.
Then there is a large fraction who will claim they came here as kids but who are in fact trying to play the system.
The key will be in how it’s managed in immigration offices. Trump will be judged on how well he controls his managers and how well his managers carry out his policy directives.
