[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is they could get deported back to a country they don’t know or have any connection to. This gives them safety. What’s your problem with that?[/quote]

If they were born in a different country, by definition they are citizens of that country - if citizenship to a country is not a strong connnection, why in the world are they trying so hard to become American citizens? [/quote]

So they can drive and hold jobs without fear of being ripped away from their family.[/quote]

Ahhhh, so they want to be Americans not because of some sense of connection to what it is to be American, but rather a selfish desire to drive a car, make money, and being closer to their family. Here I thought they were claiming some patriotic identiy of being an American. Thanks for clarifying that for me. They are no different from any other economic migrant who wants to be here for convenience. [/quote]

Exactly.

I live in a MoCo neighborhood with a high number of illegal immigrants and my kids go to school with their kids.  We know many of these families and that is exactly the case for most of them.  They are here to earn money.  Plain and simple.  [/quote]

I love how you generalize and speak for so many people!  And overlook the unstable home countries where people are literally being raped and tortured and murdered by not only drug traffickers but also gangs and also law enforcement! Way to go. You must be so proud of your ability to paint with a broad brush.  [/quote]

Why is that our problem? There are a lot of unpleasant countries out there. And a lot of pleasant countries with much tighter immigration and citizenship laws than ours. [/quote]

Because the US actually went in and disrupted these countries which caused them to fall apart. You should take a history class. [/quote]

Yes, of course. The US has committed many atrocities and we should do a better job of minding our own business. Doesn’t mean we owe anyone anything or need to let the whole world come here. [/quote]

The US destabilized these countries that people are coming from now for our own purposes.  NOW you think we should mind our own business and no longer let people go through the legal process of applying for amnesty?

Typical GOP.  It all comes down to race, doesn't it.  
[/quote]

What ‘race’ do you feel it comes down to?

I’m not the PP but I live in MoCo and we have illegal immigrants from all over the world, and with all shades of skin color.  White Israeli illegal immigrants, Asian immigrants, Eastern European illegal immigrants, Latino illegal immigrants, etc.  [/quote]

DP, but there is definitely a racial component for some objectors. As white voters edge toward becoming a shrinking plurality of the populace, there will be an electoral shift, which some feel will be irreversible in favor of Democrats. This is why Ann Coulter and other right wing elements are so stridently against DACA amnesty and so fervently in favor of border security measures. Electoral calculus.[/quote]
