Alex and Daniela Velez have come to peace with the difficult choice they will need to make if Congress doesn't reach a deal for those covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program by its March 5 deadline: They will leave the country.
"Alex and I are both over this [DACA situation]," said Daniela, who is 24 years old. "If DACA ends, I will leave with Alex. I will close my business, leave work and school."
The Velez sisters are two of nearly 689,000 young adults who are currently protected from deportation under DACA. The Obama-era program allowed young Dreamers who were brought to the United States as children to come out from the shadows and enroll in college, obtain driver's licenses and legally secure jobs.
In September, President Trump announced he would end DACA and left it up to Congress to come up with alternative legislation. But with less than a month until that March 5 expiration date, lawmakers and the Trump administration remain at an impasse.
Should they fail to put another option in place, 915 Dreamers will lose protection from deportation each day, according to the Migration Policy Institute.

At 915 per day it’s gonna take a while. 1000-2000 days.

Waah, waah, that’s the whole idea! Adios.
Oh well ,easy come easy go
Sounds good to me.... if you ever want to come back do it legally.
If the dreamers want to criticize someone then they should criticize their own parents who are the real criminals.
Hey Dreamers- your parents are criminals! Your parents are the ones who put you in this predicament.
herd ‘em up move’em out, herd’em up move’em out herd’em up, move’em out rawhide!
Let’s all throw beans and rice wedding style as they leave.
More jobs and opportunities for Americans.
Would you mind sharing with the group? How did the whole legal immigration process work? Are you glad you did it?
I am heartbroken NOT!
Honestly speaking, if they have come here and got an education (which I doubt for most of them) they have an obligation to go home and change things for the better. But these are all political science and gender studies majors. Screw them.
Winning!
MAGA
Where’s that Blazing Saddles GIF with the guy threatening to shoot himself?
If yer feeling froggy, jump “dreamers.” Send us a postcard.
“Nine hundred and fifteen out of 689,000 (aka 1.8 million)? What the ...?”
A day...915 a day.
great so the President is getting families back together again in their own country.
Well that is a cheap way to handle it........just do nothing. I have no problem with that! Bye Bye
So? Leave already...take as many of your chained-together family with you, Let me know if you need maps and a compass
If they’re that great then send them home and let them make their own countries better.
