They are still part of the 11 million illegals.

Why would we focus on the 275 million that are citizens of this country unless they are also breaking the law? It has been stated that there are actually 1.8 million Dreamers and I'll bet they are many more. They are here illegally so why wouldn't we focus on them?

I thought everyone already knew this?

20% are said to be high school dropouts, they should be a real asset. Many have already dropped anchor babies to help their case.

The thing is, these DACA with their American educations will be a blessing to their "home" country. They can return and bring change to make their country what they want rather than trying to make our country change to suit them.

Dreamers is a term used to soften what they really are, Illegal Immigrants.

One does have to wonder what went into the decision to refer to them as "dreamers" in the first place. I am sure whatever it was, it was meant to "soften". Had they said the truth "Younger illegal aliens who hope to become citizens so that chain migration will allow every last illegal alien to permanently attach themselves to the USA."

And shorter.

Illegal aliens don’t tend to be the cream of the crop.
They are not the cream of the crop of the 3rd world let alone America. They're also less attractive, more ethnocentric, less law abiding, less educated. 80% are from Mexico alone and most are culturally latin American and speak a loud and unpleasant dialect and cadence of Spanish.

You take a sample size of the Dreamers, across the spectrum, and compare them to a sample slice of American citizens, and I'd bet the percentages aren't too far off. Like any large group of people of any race, religion, or citizenship status...
You would lose that bet. While around one in 300 Americans is a doctor, only about one in 10,000 DACA recipients is currently an MD or medical student.

Except for leniency with the dreamers encourages more dreamers on the other side of the border.
