[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]

So back to OP, your logic is that Madoff family should have kept the money he embezzled?

Kids did not commit the crime, they should keep the billions.

Solid plan.[/quote]

This is an inappropriate comparison.

DP. Why? Both parents committed a crime that benefitted the children. You want to penalize his children for his actions, reward the others. [/quote]
DP.. Children of Madoff won't be completely destitute.  There are social services that would help.

It's not an appropriate comparison. You're talking about kicking someone out of their own country. Yes, for all intents and purposes, it's their country. This is all they know.  Imagine if they were brought here at the age of one or two.  People like that were practically born here.   I immigrated here at two (yes, legally, I'm  now a citizen).  When people ask if I was born here, I say, no, I'm an immigrant; I came here at two. Their response is usually, oh, you were practically born here.[/quote]

The just deported Joe Guidice. Both he and illegals broke the law. Why can’t he stay when he has American citizen kids and an American citizen wife? You [/quote]

Actually, DACA recipients are not considered to have committed a crime because at the age they were brought over by their parents, they’re not deemed not capable of the requisite intent to commit the crime.[/quote]

Genuinely curious: what abou after they reach adulthood and realize that they are in a country illegally?[/quote]

Some of them did not know they were brought here illegally until it is time to get a drivers license, apply for college, get a job.

Once they reach adulthood they have no option to become a citizen without leaving the country for 10 years and applying and hoping they get approved.

They don't speak the language of their country, they don't have family there, they don't have a job there or any way to take care of themselves. [/quote]

Those are definitely problems, I agree. How are those the problems of the US? Why are we required to solve these problems for them? Are they incapable of learning a new language, like plenty of new immigrants do when the come to the US? Are they incapable of living afar form their relatives, like many immigrants do? Are they incapable of finding a job in a different country - if so then what economic value do they have here in the US? If a person has no capability of taking care of themselves outside of the US, what are they doing here in the US? Why is our responsibility to take care of them?[/quote]
