Children of criminals are always the innocent victims of the actions of their parents. I'm sure Bernie Madoff's kids didn't live the same lifestyle after his Ponzi scheme collapsed as they did before. Yet we don't make exceptions for them. I don't see how these children of lawbreakers deserve a special break no other children receive.

I’m for taking a compassionate approach to the dreamers, by which I mean making sure that the buses used to deport them all should be pleasant, comfortable, and warm.

Ann is right. Deport the so called dreamers. Build the wall, end chain migration, end birthright citizenship, enforce our laws, e-verify and revamp/change/repeal the horrendous 1965 immigration act.

My concern about giving citizenship rights to DREAMERS, who are supposedly innocent by virtue of being brought here, is that they immediately have the right to bring in, AT THE VERY LEAST, the parents who illegally brought them here. So those declared admittedly illegal are immediately saved by their “innocent” children.

That is one of the Major reason a lot of People got on the Trump Train and is a Priority to most of His Supporters but is going to be one of the hardest ones for him to be able to complete. He is going to need our support pressure and most of all Prayers to get accomplished.

“Dreamers” aren’t victims. They got far greater educations, healthcare, and general early life experiences than their countrymen back home. They were the recipients of hundreds of thousands in stolen goods.

We don’t weep in sympathy for the children of parents in diplomacy or foreign business or the military or whatever who grow up abroad, but don’t get to stay behind after their parents leave and become citizens of Japan or wherever their parents were stationed.

The same should pertain here. And they don’t necessarily have to return and live in their home countries—they just can’t stay here, at the scene of their parents’ massive crimes.

Again, they were incredibly lucky compared to the children of their home countries whose parents didn’t steal fancy American upbringings for their children.

How do US citizens owe the dreamers anything. In fact, the dreamers owe Americans for their education or for the cost of incarcerating those convicted of criminal activities.

Yes, deport them. Any illegal alien that protests or makes demands, should be summarily deported. Dreamers and others, like Jose Vargas.

Coulter is correct. Third world immigration will end our homeland. Trump is our last chance to stop it and so far he is not succeeding. If he signs a DACA amnesty betrayal it’s lights out America.

It has to be said that many of the legal and illegal low-wage workers, they’re incredibly hard workers, they’re really nice people, and it occurred to me … that I actually like all of the illegal immigrants except the DREAMers. They’re the ones I want deported first because they’re the activists. They’re the obnoxious ones. They’re the ones who go to congressional offices and stamp their feet and say, “How dare you not rush to grant us amnesty?” Whereas the other illegals don’t have the time to be protesting; they’re busy working, being polite, being so friendly and nice and saying, “Merry Christmas.”

LOL! That is so freakin' true especially when these "Dreamers" come across someone wearing a MAGA hat and all hell breaks loose.

The expectations of any immigrant coming to the US had to have a sponsor a job a place to stay and could not vote for 7 years. The left made a mockery of our laws and thus a mess.

I don’t have strong feeling about it one way or the other, but the “dreamers” I’ve met (there are a billion in NJ alone /s) have little to no ties to the country of their parents. They often don’t speak the language very well, and were very young when brought here. For years a blind eye was turned to their parents’ crimes by our government at all levels, and that further entrenched them in this country; many remember no other home. I am VERY reluctant to give them full citizenship (particularly regarding voting rights and access to freebies) right away.

“Deferred Action”= “We’re going to ignore the law”
“Childhood Arrivals”= illegal aliens

The children or grandchildren of Nazis who stole Jewish paintings must give the paintings back to their rightful owners. No amnesty.

Furthermore, their criminal status as children notwithstanding, the children of criminals who invaded the USA illegally became criminals, by choice, when they became adults and remained illegally in the USA. They had the option of returning to the countries of which they are citizens, or applying for legal USA citizenship, or both. They chose not to. They are criminals.

It's no accident that Democrats intend to pack the voter rolls with criminals to the Democrats' advantage, with illegal immigrants, convicted felons, et al. The Democrat Party is not only the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, Segregation, Racism, Communism, and Totalitarianism; it is also the Party of Crime, whose great advantage is the support of CRIMINALS.

So the parents are illegals. Let the kids stay, and the parents get to stay via chain migration? Nope.

I'm sure Bernie Madoff's kids didn't live the same lifestyle after his Ponzi scheme collapsed

The bleeding hearts, and that includes a lot of GOP, act as if these so called "Dreamers" deserve more than good old home-grown AMERICANS. They don't deserve any special treatment - they've lived off the generosity of America all their lives!

As for Madoff's family: I have absolutely NO SYMPATHY for them. They lived like royalty before bernie was caught, and I doubt they are doing poorly now, probably still better than those he defrauded. Criminals, even "white collar" criminals need to consider the impact on their families before committing the crime.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy

In other words, They kicked the can further down the road, and we all hate that.

If I let a trespasser pick my lock, sleep on my couch, eat my food and then use my address to get their mail, I would no longer have a home. Then they want to bring in their kids and let them have all my benefits.

We should have called 911 on this decades ago.

His son committed suicide, if I recall correctly.

My understanding is that at least half of the DREAMers are hoaxers and don’t actually qualify. I say eliminate those and see what’s left first, then decide what to do with them.
