If they were born and raised here, I’m fine with them staying, as long as the door is tightly closed against any more.
Does any POTUS have this authority?
You give away my country so easily that my ancestor fought and died for. Slime.
If we’ve paid for their education and they seem to be on the road to being decent citizens there’s not much to be gained by sending them back.
But my view of proper immigration policy is ALL about brain draining the rest of the world. Our competitive advantage is all the people who want to come (or, in this case, stay) here; set out standards high and take the ones that will be worth keeping, kick out or keep out the rest.
“If they were born and raised here, I’m fine with them staying”
The US Constitution, Amendment 14, Section I:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Whether I like the policy or not he never said that he was going to deport these people. I followed his campaign we watched just about every appearance he did not say that he said that they needed to be treated very humanely.
DACA doesn’t apply to those born and raised here, who for now at least are considered constitutionally citizens by birth.
And I’m not even fine with such anchor babies. It is yet another perversion of the Constitution to see them as automatic citizens.
