When he arrived in Mexico, Lopez was able to leverage his fluent English speaking skills to find work.

This a short Flashback but with DACA all over the news; it's relevant today.

There's no reason to feel sorry for the illegals who soon get deported or leave on their own. They go with skills they would not normally have even though they shouldn't be here to begin with. They should be thankful to America and use those skills to make a good life and maybe even work to make their own home country a better place if possible.

Each one teach one: “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS”

That is the cornerstone of the USA’s positive contribution to history.

Good. Use those skills to help make Mexico a country its people want to stay in.

Most DACA people have gone to school in the USA and learned English.

Chamber of Commerce be damned, by enforcing our border and returning Mexico's productive citizens to Mexico, Trump is doing the right legal and humane thing for both Mexico and the US.

When our GovCo opened wide our nation's southern border, we were able to siphon off a significant segment of Mexico's most motivated and hardest working population.

Whatever benefit they have been to America, whatever work they've been doing here, whatever they've accomplished here, has been at Mexico's expense and has been Mexico's loss.

When they return home, they return with talents and skills that Mexico needs to make Mexico great again.

Personally, I think all of the illegal immigrants should enter into a class action lawsuit against Congress and the Bush and obama administrations for enticing so many to come here illegally, only to then suffer the consequences of living criminally outside of American law.

This was no accidental error in judgment by the powers that be. This has been done on purpose and the consequences were understood before hand.

But where are the consequences fore those PTBs? To MAGA, Justice must have its day and they must pay to rebalance the scales.
