You're moniker says "Non-Reptilian." I wonder...

DACA kids are here and they're staying here. Get used to it.

Yep. Reagan hated America. He granted amnesty.

If this "kids" are allowed to stay, it should be ONE time only. We do not want to set a precedent like Reagan did. That just encourages more people to break our immigration laws and disrespect our borders. Another thing--maybe not all of them will even want to stay. If they go back to their country, they'll be way ahead educationally of most of the other people who live there. They'd have a definite advantage and could make something of themselves. Maybe they could even help their country. Their parents will be living there after they are deported so maybe some of these kids would want to move back.

The 1986 amnesty was supposed to be "ONE time only" after that, there weren't supposed to be any more amnesties again. Since then, we've had several stealth amnesties. The border was also supposed to be secured (it isn't). No illegal would ever find a job (We currently have 8 million no-match SSNs in the workforce).

How could anyone think that this time around it would be different? Does anyone really think that if the DACAs got amnestied, that would be the end? We have a bunch of spineless people in the house and the senate who will cave to the next batch of illegals who demand amnesty.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

IF that is true, who's to blame....the greedy employers. Go after the employers and this issue will get resolved pronto.

I disagree. The 1986 amnesty was supposed to be one time only. These DACAs are now demanding that their parents be able to stay and other illegal aliens also. If we allowed the DACAs to stay that would put 800,000 in direct competition for jobs, college seats and places in our military against Americans. Isn't it bad enough that their parents are already sucking up our jobs, taxes and resources?

Might be you touch on another issue poorly understood here in America. Have you ever been to Mexico?

Do you know what the average income is in Mexico? The serious problems there in and outside government? The very reason we have immigration issues is because Mexicans are trying to leave those problems in search of a better life for themselves and their children -- like most if not all of us would do in similar circumstances!

Now that doesn't mean we need shoulder the burden of Mexico's problems. Of course not, but to suggest these DACA people simply go back to Mexico and apply the advantage they gained after living here where they thought they WERE home is some awfully limited perspective and understanding by just about any measure.

Shouldn't be long before someone else comments they just DON'T CARE, but most Americans are just not like that...
