So.... if a parent commits a crime, say, severely assaults a ghey person... should he not face jail time because it would split up his family if he we're incarcerated?


A violent crime is lot different than the "crime" of these people, many of whom were escaping violence, war, and starvation, and possible death for their children. But you know that though.

They do not have equivalence. Committing crimes as an ILLEGAL alien =/= committing crimes as a LEGAL CITIZEN. You talk as if they should be on the same playing field.


The overwhelming majority of these DACA kids have no criminal history. What crime have they committed? Going to college, paying taxes, and being a contributing member of society. The majority of people (even republicans) support letting the DACAS stay here. Most people are reasonable enough that they realize it's wrong to vilify these kids .

No meaningful immigration reform is going to happen for a while. Much more politically advantageous in some quarters to paint these people in negative ways and narratives to gin up division and resentment.

Nope.

So if a poor person robs a bank, doesn't hurt anyone, and has kids... you set him free?

But you know that though.
I also know it isn't justification for committing a crime.

"Meaningful immigration reform" means amnesty. We've seen this song and dance before. We aren't buying it anymore.

Yes, because you lucked up and was born here. It's a shame many of these "legal" people haven't and will never accomplish what these a lot of these DACA kids have. Many of these kids would have gone on to high paying prosperous careers. Need people like that to subsidize all the ones that were born here "legally"and will leech off the government most of their lives.

Why are you in here acting like the average "DACA kid" is some wonder child? There is literally no evidence that the child of an illegal immigrant is more functional than americans that were born here.

None of this is relevant. Economic accomplishment isn't a condition of citizenship. Just more emo-drivel.

Your post is full of meaningless adjectives that dont reflect reality. You're distraught over this, I get it. No need to toss aside logic to feel better, though.

I would love to see some numbers. I bet AS A WHOLE, they have done better than A LOT of the kids whose families have been here for generations and nothing to show for it.

You just don't get it do you? There people are Special. They are so awesome, they deserve to be exempt from our legal system. They should have special privileges us--mere citizens--do not deserve. Hey should not have to comply with mere laws and legalities. Too much trouble. They are too good for that. Only "white trash" people should be subject to restrictive laws. You know.. kinda like the Jews had their own laws.

I'll bet as a whole they haven't, though Its completely irrelevant. I have as much substantiation for my post as you do for yours. Are you starting to see how this works?

What logic? Sending a kid back to a foreign country with which they have no ties is logical? That's the reality.

"Ties" is subjective, and irrelevant. Irrespective of their "ties", the law was broken. They should not benefit because it makes you feel better.
