Not their fault their parents brought them in illegally.

So they've been here for 20 years and haven't applied for citizenship? Is that their parents' fault as well?

To apply for citizenship, you first have to obtain permanent or conditional residency status. To get permanent or conditional residency, you have to have legal status. That is what DACA was all about.

Thus, even those accepted under DACA since 2012 and given permanent or conditional residency have to wait 5 years before applying for citizenship. Five years from 2012 is 2017.

Obama offered a deal to the Dreamers. We should not go back on it to those who accepted IMO.
