There is actually a way for DACA kids to get citizenship ( LINK). But it is very risky to go that route. So very few people avail of that.

So for all practical purposes, there is no route for permanent residency (green card) or citizenship for DACA kids.

People will often hear the line "they should get in line" from immigration hardliners. The problem with that statement is that there is no line.

I am future immigrant myself. I am from India and have lived in USA legally since 2003. I have applied for green card in 2010 and am yet to get it. People from India who are applying for employment based green cards right now literally have a 50 to 60 years wait.

U.s. immigration system is seriously antiquated. Unfortunately most of the voters do not understand the details and start believing the one-liners that politicians and various groups with vested interest peddle.

Then I guess they should figure out a new career path. The system being antiquated doesn’t have shite to do with people breaking the law to get here. There are 4 lane highways that have a speed limit of 30. I think it’s stupid so i go 55. The cop writes the ticket and doesn’t give a dam that I think 30mph is stupid. He’s not retroactively making the limit 55 cause I feel entitled to it since I’ve been driving 55 for 10 years and he never caught me

I’m sorry you’re going through that, I know it must be frustrating. You are 100% correct that there needs to be reform to the system.

We absolutely need more resources going to be people who want to do it the right way. Stopping the illegals will go a long way toward that IMO
