Real talk: Obama got it right on DREAMER and Trump should leave DACA alone.

You have to be realistic about this situation. They were brought over as minors by the parents. They had no choice in the matter. They were underage so really wen't acting under their on volition or able to consent nor did they understand the consequences.

DACA sets stipulations that they had to be minors under 16 when they entered, they have to be in school or have graduated, be employed (I believe), and cannot have been convicted of felony or serious misdemeanor nor accused of one. Furthermore, they had to come out and declare themselves. They declared themselves under the auspices of Obama's EO. So I don't think its right for Trump to walk that back and renege when you have these people who are trying to do the right thing and get right by the law.

I believe you are talking about several hundred thousands here, a fraction of the illegal population. So lets focus on the others and give these people a path and move on. We are not talking new entries but people who have been here in some case decades and here brought here as children.

Oh and by the way, its the humane thing to do as well.
