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.
Its 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 dont have an identity anymore, like Im somebodys plaything, somebodys bargaining chip.

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.

Maybe they should return to the country they are a citizen of and ease their anxiety. With the superior education and training theyve purportedly received here, theyd be leaders and higher earners in their third-world hell holes. Whats not to like?

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!
