"The young people in the DACA program need a permanent, commonsense solution that will allow them to continue working and going to school in the only country that many of them have ever known,” Blunt said. “The manner in which this program was created has left DACA recipients in legal limbo for too long, and Congress now has a responsibility to work toward a legislative solution. At the same time, it is imperative that we continue working with the president to strengthen our border security. Enhancing our border security will help facilitate progress toward addressing all aspects of our broken immigration system.”

0bama couldn’t get amnesty thru congress, so he resorted to DACA. I seriously doubt that congress, facing the 2018 election, will be able to get an amnesty bill thru congress. Essentially, Trump told congress that if they want amnesty, they’ll have to write a bill, and face the consequences as the majority of people in the country are opposed to both DACA and a general amnesty. I don’t that that has changed.
My idea is deport all illegals now.
No. Deport every single one of them. Every illegal alien allowed to stay here is another felon not being punished.
What you describe is amnesty with the condition of going through some process. That’s nowhere near good enough.
Brilliant!
IMHO, the “dreamers” should go back to their homelands, grateful for their American educations and for their exposure to American culture, and grateful for the opportunity to turn their third-world hell-holes into copies of the prosperous America they claim to love.
That implys that MEXICO SUCKS, hahaha They are proud to be MEXICANS, but they want to go to SCHOOL in America..Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico
The Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico (in Spanish: Real y Pontificia Universidad de México) was founded on 21 September 1551 by Royal Decree signed by Charles I of Spain, in Valladolid, Spain.
It would be interesting to see the breakdown in ages of these DACA recipients.
As per Wiki (underlines mine):
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals To qualify for DACA, applicants must meet the following major requirements, although meeting them does not guarantee approval:[48]
• Came to the United States before their 16th birthday
• Have lived continuously in the United States since June 15, 2007
• Were under age 31 on June 15, 2012 (i.e., born on June 16, 1981 or after)
• Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making their request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS
• Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012
• Have completed high school or a GED, have been honorably discharged from the armed forces, or are enrolled in school
• Have not been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanors, or three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services released the process for DACA renewals in June 2014 and directed applicants to file their documents during a 30-day window starting 150 days before the expiration of their previous DACA status. Renewing requires an additional $495 fee.
As of June 2016, there had been 606,264 renewal cases, with 526,288 approved, 4,703 denied and 75,205 renewals pending.
So over 600,00 cases were reviewed in 15 months - how much vetting was done? People who are legal immigrants say that their applications took FAR longer. Anybody?

One good addendum there is this:
DACA Has Changed!
We are no longer accepting initial requests for DACA, but we will adjudicate initial requests for DACA accepted by Sept. 5, 2017.
We will no longer approve advance parole requests associated with DACA.
We are only adjudicating DACA renewal requests received by Oct. 5, 2017, from current beneficiaries whose benefits will expire between Sept. 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018.

Make that TRUE ages.
