    This is so darn sad. and mean spirited. There are some who are still kids. It’s not like it was just one decade or something. The veterans are upset about this, because they had so many Dreamers as troops. This were their brothers in arms. Some even died defending our country. Of Course the Catholic Church is unhappy with this too, the Dreamers made up a lot of their parishioners and the ones that are happy about this don’t have a sense of morality on human rights. I wish his followers would be able to see how much he has damaged American, and Made America Worse.

    I don’t see the problem. Ronald Reagan solved it over 30 years ago, when he introduced amnesty, but shut the border so it couldn’t happen again. Don’t you remember?

    Usually, when a law is not serving the best interests of “we the people”, Congress will work to replace it. Our lazy, do-nothing Congress, instead has procrastinated and now with an extremist president who caters to his supporters rather than “we the people”, we have a crisis in the making.

    " …

    Fifty-eight percent of Americans said Dreamers should be allowed to stay in the country and become citizens if they meet certain requirements, according to a Morning Consult/POLITICO poll conducted Aug. 31 through Sept. 3. Eighteen percent said they should be allowed to remain and later become legal residents, but not citizens, if they meet certain requirements, while 15 percent of respondents favor deportation, according to the national sample of 1,993 registered voters.

    Seventy-one percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents, as well as a 46 percent plurality of Republicans, said DACA recipients should be permitted to continue residing in the United States and become citizens if they meet certain conditions.

    You think this is an exaggeration? Well, think again…

    JohnS completely ignores the facts that everything he asks about was already being done. Obama deported more illegal aliens than president before him. Of course JS’s Russian handlers wouldn’t want him to speak off script anyways.

    Children of rape should be denied rights, since they are here because of a parent’s crime.

    Makes about as much sense…

    How sad. If the parents had been deported earlier this wouldn’t be a problem.

    We’re country that is built on immigration. If we can’t figure out how to do it we’re a failure. We have a country that is built on welcoming immigrants and assimilating them. We’re also a country that supposed to have a heart. The problem of this one is caused by a do-nothing congress. They have put it off and put it off and put it off. 800000 dreamers. They came here as children, brought by their parents. And there are thousands more out there in the same predicament. And why can’t we fix it, because we have a do-nothing congress.. we have a GOP controlled that is transitioning into a Nazi white supremacist party of the rich Elite that sits on their behinds in the capital doing nothing but collecting their paychecks.

    A typical Dreamer came from Mexico at around 6 years old. DACA-eligible immigrants have higher-skilled and higher-paying jobs than undocumented immigrants. Because they are eligible to get such work and contribute to their home country – the USA. More than a quarter of them live in California. Only a heartless monster would deport them for doing so well in a land of great opportunity.

    MEATPUPPET, the US is the only country most of the “dreamers” have ever known. Many grew up believing they were born in US. As far as giving Congress six months, Obama asked them to put DACA into law, change it, or do SOMETHING and they did NOTHING. The Republican method of doing nothing except saying NO doesn’t work.

    .JS1, read my reply to you on Jim Morin’s ‘toon. I don’t want to copy and paste like you do.

    Legalists to the letter of the law who hate and are afraid of brown people and those who hate and do NOT Know how to place themselves in the others shoes are against the Dreamers, even though the majority have done no wrong, even though most people think it would hurt the people, hurt the economy, hurt the famers and would drive up the price of produce and meat. They don’t consider those. Also the ones who have served in the military so much that the military would lack enough soldiers.
