We are a nation of citizens, not immigrants. "Temporary permission" means just that, temporary. Go home and prosper.

Why are they still here? Deport them NOW.

Because of this abuse we must shut our borders to all immigration for at least forty years. In addition we cannot take in refugees for any reason.

Deport all illegals immediately.

staked their livelihoods on the temporary permission they received years ago

What part of TEMPORARY do they not understand?

If they are talking about DACA, it just went from 10,000 to more than 1,000,000. What’s the real number?

the young immigrants whose status also is in jeopardy this winter

What "status" is that?

Their "status" is here without permission in US law.

Their phony "DACA status" will obviously be void as soon as it's in front of a competent court, and President Trump generously and magnanimously granted a six month extension for Congress, should it wish to do so, to enact legislation conferring LEGITIMATE status on them.

This, Congress is clearly unwilling to do, so it's vaya con dios sometime this Spring.

Immigrants become citizens. If you are here on a work or othe visa that doesn’t make you an immigrant. It makes you a guest

“immigration restrictionists” Hey, they’ve come up with another stupid euphemism!
Do they mean to say, those of us who adhere to the law and expect the Democrats to follow it as well?

And while we are at it cut the bullshit about DACA. I'm tired of hearing about these "children" who are so educated and productive. Stop the lies, tell the truth. We need to publish a spreadsheet on all DACA individuals.

All DACA individuals should be required to answer these questions.

1. Are you currently employed? If so where and doing what?

2. What is the highest level of education achieved?

3. Do you speak English?

4. List ALL government benefits and subsidies that you currently receive.

5. How old are you?

6. Have you ever been arrested for any crimes? If so were you convicted?

Since we supposedly know who is going to get deported if DACA is not fixed then it should be no problem to have all potential applicants answer this simple survey.

Let the American people decide based on FACTS.

Trump is known as the master of the deal. Part of that is knowing what chips you have to play. This group represents a powerful chip two ways.

It is important to remember that this group did not break the law to get into the country. They entered and stayed legally. As a bargaining chip they offer the opportunity to establish and enforce guidelines. If they assimilated and are productive, grant them green cards and a path to citizenship. If they meet the highest standards, that path could be expedited. This creates a framework and example for merit based immigration. It also demonstrates the benefits to the immigrant of assimilating. This group will tend to be more conservative and not automatically add voters to the Democrats rolls.

Second, they are a control group who have been in the country for years. They should be productive and assimilated. If they haven’t learned English and their children become literate, have relied on government benefits, been lawless or otherwise a drain on the country, remove them. This is the other half of establishing standards for assimilation and example of what failure to assimilate means. This is also the group that the Democrats are looking to for future voters.

It is easy to say kick them out. It is smarter to understand what chips you have to play and play them wisely. Trump knows how to play the chips he has. Cancelling their status but allowing a long transition time for it to play out was brilliant.

We've got hundreds of thousands of otherwise useless, unemployed people, with expensive advanced degrees in Gender Studies, Sociology, Art History, who are still living in their parent's basements.

Can't they clean offices, polish floors, handle mail, lick and stuff envelopes? All the myriad tasks, if shown how, with a lot of patience, the ones any child could do, if a child had the strength...

I know it would take at least a year to retrain a Poly-Sci major, but we had the otherwise useless Department of Education. Maybe it's time to re-purpose them, if we can't dump the department, completely.

Might they be deporting crime and drugs as they go?

As many as 1 million jobs could be created for American citizens once those leeches are deported.

They should send them home but also send enough funds to start businesses, clean up crews, construction workers can help rebuild Haiti. What happened to all the money that was collected after the hurricanes?

so basically there was a conspiracy to keep americans unemployed (african americans hardest hit) to transfer jobs and money overseas to foreigners but it was okay because it mostly happens on american soil, and the press defends it because... wait, I don’t think they clearly even definded their defense. What was the rationale again?

1.) If they earned good money and sent some home to their families, then then did what they came to do.

2.) If they earned good money and banked some of it, they can take it with them and they profited by their stay here. That money will go much further at home where the cost of living is lower.

3.) If they were unable to send money home or bank it because the cost of living is so high that all they could do was break even every month, we basically fooled them into doing jobs that Americans used to do, only for much less money. In that case, they were taken vile advantage of and should be glad to go home. If nothing else, hopefully they gained work experience and/or got some education here that they can use at home.
