Stuck in limbo, DACA recipients are consumed with fear and anxiety

The anxiety keeps coming in waves.

And right now, for Fernando Hernandez and the hundreds of thousands of young DACA recipients whose fate lies in the hands of a polarized Congress and a mercurial president, the despair is crashing in.

“It’s been weighing down on me,” said Hernandez, 28, of Santa Clara, whose mother crossed the border illegally with him when he was 5 and who now works as a lab technician at an LED company. “It feels like I don’t have an identity anymore, like I’m somebody’s plaything, somebody’s bargaining chip.”

Yes, you are - Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's plaything. They could have taken the deal President Trump offered for full border security and immigration enforcement, but the last thing Pelosi and Schumer want is for this problem to be solved - they want it as a campaign issue and use it make the problem even worse and irreparable to further their electoral ambitions.

Good. They should be.

Maybe they should return to the country they are a citizen of and ease their anxiety.

With the superior education and training they’ve purportedly received here, they’d be leaders and higher earners in their third-world hell holes. What’s not to like?

“...somebody’s bargaining chip.”

More like a buffalo chip than a bargaining chip, seems to me!

IF “DACA recipients are consumed with fear and anxiety..”

...they should run, not walk, into the loving arms of their nearest ICE agent who will gently place them on a one-way conveyance to the home of their birth.

If it’s not via United Airlines, they may even get a comfortable seat instead of being stuffed into an overhead luggage compartment!

Oh, the irony!

“DACA recipients are consumed with fear and anxiety”.
Illegals are consumed with fear and anxiety.
The way it ought be written

[Reno89519]

If they are still in the US then there is not enough fear and anxiety.
