Isn’t it 800,000 then since the average age of these ‘children’ is in the thirties... we can assume many dreamers have kids of their own... and on and on and on...

The ‘deal’ should include a 15 year ban on voting... treat them as if they had to wait in line.

The belief that there will be serious attempts to limit the number to 800,000 are delusional. The 800K number itself is far more than the number that would actually qualify if all of the criminals were seriously examined for disqualification, and if all the timelines were correctly drawn. The DHS ICE chief who left office in 2007 has spoken on this. He estimates fraud to be as high as 60% of all "Dreamers."

The number will get much higher once the lawyers and immigration advocates get involved. We can't even get the Federal Courts to agree on the fact that keeping non-citizens out of the US is a plenary power of the US President's, despite clear Constitutional language, plain statutory authority, and the entire Federal Case Law before 2000 to that effect. Does anyone seriously believe the Circuit Courts are going to ply the straight and narrow with people already qualified (in their minds) as US Persons? Dream on.

EXACTLY the same thing happened to Reagan's Amnesty. It was the biggest mistake of his Presidency and we've learned NOTHING.

Second, the claim that there will/can be limitations on them voting, going to the back of the line, only getting permits to work ... whatever ... is 100% C R A P.

You think there's unrest in the country now? Wait until the activists start talking about how Republican White Supremacists are making a whole new generation of "Americans" into "3/5 of a person." "No 2nd Class Citizens!" "Legalize the Dreamers!" They will be talking Citizenship NOW! And they will get it.
