I figure schooling is the negotiable part. If we allow any form of waivers for kids—not the illegal families—then we need to negotate on a. ages (arrived under 8-12 year old?), b. arrival date (pre 2008?), c. are they in school now?, etc. I’d push for 8 years old, pre-2018 pre-2008 so we are only talking about school-age kids, still in school. Since none over 18, they don’t need work permits. And, being nice, let them finish current school year before going home.

What part of ‘illegal’ or ‘criminal’ is hard to understand?
How does one *verify* ‘arrival’??
Being nice? That’s not THEIR $$ being used to provide for their education, taking up a LEGAL/citizen job (suppressing wages) nor farking over a legal/citizen’s identity.
I, for one, am tired of ‘compassionate (C)’. What’d ya want to do next, “win hearts and minds’ too?
And with such a position, how do you live within your values? Which stores do you shop at and what products do you buy. If you can't rely upon government to ensure legal labor and all, are you doing the research and making those deliberate choices or are you just all talk and no action?
If you are not willing to have government work on a solution to identify and deport illegal aliens, saying it is not their role, then what are you doing to identify and deport them?
My problem with your extremist views, which is what they are, you promote anarchy and undermine the definition and rule of law, the norms and practices that make us a good, exceptional country. You throw it all out instead of fixing the problems. Think of country that would result in your view actually being implemented.
No, we have a great country, we just need to fix it, not tear it down. We can't expect success tilting at windmills, demanding non-negotiable extremes that are never going to happen.
Even while I say NO AMNESTY, it is clear that some of those "innocent" kids will be allowed to stay. Fine, lets make it a good, negotiated solution. Only kids that were 8 and younger in 2008, only kids in school, no work permits, no citizenship, no chain migration for parents and family, get eVerify to remove the employment lure, end birthright citizenship, etc. And, build the wall. The Dems are so adamant on the kids staying, fine, make the trade off real. Fix the problem so we don't repeat next year, 10 years from now, etc. Undo the damage Reagan started with his amnesty in the 80s, fix the problems started in 65. Solve the problem!
