Most of these illegal or legal people are getting a handout through assisted living then if they have kids on tax filing day they get Earned Income adjustments. To many freebies and they stay anyway, all they deserve is a green card because they feel obligated to v**e in a democracy hence democrat, they're not educated enough to research all the parties in the v****g booth. That why other parties don't want them deported, it's a win-win for the democrats. BTW maybe Trump as other prior presidents have given i******s legal status and they keep coming in illegally. Stop "promoting" a******ns and legal americans will be brought in the naturalized way.

DACA recipients are i******s. If they had been born here the 14th amendment granted them birthright citizenship and hence no need for DACA. These i******s should have been rounded up and deported, not cemented in place with the DACA laws. The days of open migration and immigration are over. When this nation was new we had vast open lands to absorb whoever wanted to come here. There was no safety net of social services to impose burdens on the citizenry in supporting immigrants.

Our current society requires protected borders and controlled immigration. We cannot allow unrestricted access to our nation because in short order it will cease being our nation. The plight of the DACA people is difficult but it is a problem of their own making.

Its formal name is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. It protects nearly 800,000 young adult unauthorized immigrants from deportation and allows them to work legally since 2012. The immigrants protected through DACA grew up in the US; people might not assume they are unauthorized immigrants, and they might not have even known it themselves until they are teenagers. The program was supposed to give them a chance to build a life here. Does that fair or just. Does it sound American?

The most important elements explained:
DACA is a program to protect DREAMers — unauthorized immigrants brought to the US as children

In the 1990s to mid-2000s, the US started building up enforcement on the US/Mexico border, with a huge unintended consequence: Many unauthorized immigrants avoided repeated risky border crossings by settling in the US with their families. (Previously, unauthorized immigrants had mostly been working-age men who crossed back and forth to the US for work while their families stayed in their home countries.)

Around the same time, changes to US law made it nearly impossible for an immigrant to get legal status if they’d lived in the country illegally. So the children who crossed illegally into the US with their parents were growing up in a country where they could never become legal residents or citizens.

These children became known as DREAMers, after the DREAM Act, a piece of legislation meant to give them a path to citizenship first introduced in 2001. But with that legislation stalled in Congress, President Barack Obama in 2012 created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. While it didn’t give them a path to citizenship, DACA offered DREAMers a temporary grant of protection from deportation and a permit to work legally in the US. The protections last two years, after which immigrants can apply to renew for them.

Not all DREAMers, though, became DACA recipients. To apply for DACA, immigrants have to have come to the US before 2007, and have been 15 or younger when they arrived and younger than 31 when DACA was created in June 2012. They had to have a nearly spotless criminal record and be enrolled in high school or have a high school diploma or equivalent.

Perhaps most importantly, they have to apply. It’s estimated that about 1.3 million people would be eligible for DACA, but right now, about 800,000 people actually have it.
