What are your opinions on DACA?

I think it's a good thing. Children shouldn't be punished for the actions of their parents.

I think easier/more work visas and eliminating paths to citizenship is the answer.

so when you deport the parents...what happens to the children?

Many of those who are here under DACA are in college or high school since you have to be at least 15 to apply and pay almost $500 in fees. Also, it's not like just anyone can receive DACA status.

To qualify for DACA, applicants must meet the following major requirements, although meeting them does not guarantee approval:

-Came to the United States before their 16th birthday
-Have lived continuously in the United States since 15 June 2007
-Were under age 31 on 15 June 2012 (i.e., born on 16 June 1981 or after)
-Were physically present in the United States on 15 June 2012, and at the time of making their request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS
-Had no lawful status on 15 June 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

Well, obviously they are forced to stay here and fend for themselves. No way they can go back to their country of origin as a US citizen and return later as a US citizen.

Suppose my wife and I rob a bunch of banks, commit fraud and scam people out of millions of dollars, or acquire large sums of money in some other illegal manner, then use that money to buy a huge house, cars, etc. No one discovers any of this before we die in a natural disaster. My daughter inherits everything. When she's 30 years old, the truth comes out. Are you saying that she should be able to keep all of these items that I got illegally? Or would you support taking the house, cars, and everything else away from her?

That isn't even a comparable situation.

What it all boils down to for most of you is that these kids aren't white. I'll bet that if they were from the UK, France, Australia, New Zealand, etc you wouldn't be nearly as hard line about wanting to send them back.

See, I can say baseless things also.

Would you live in Mexico?

No, and I wouldn't live in Europe either. But, if I did ever decide to move to another country, I would follow their immigration laws. Do you think Mexico or Europe would allow me to make my vacation to their countries permanent, then force them to provide government services to me and my family without going through their immigration process legally?
