Look at it from a purely economic perspective then.

Ok

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/53410

CBO and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that enacting S. 1615 would increase direct spending by $26.8 billion over the 2018-2027 period. Over that same period, CBO and JCT estimate that the bill would increase revenues, on net, by $0.9 billiona decline in on-budget revenues of $4.3 billion and an increase in off-budget revenues of $5.3 billion.

I dunno where you're getting this idea that DACA is only for those who are contributing to the country, but it's not.

That's my argument against DACA, it's unrelated to the question of whether the beneficiaries if DACA deserve it.


Your question was why DACA kids deserve citizenship. I want to know why you think it matters.


Because they're here illegally *shrugs*

Fine. Compromise.

Those who are on DACA and have a job/aren't on welfare can be allowed to become citizens.

After all the legal immigrants in the system who have job prospects in the US get citizenship, of course.

Fair?


I rather keep the ones in school with good grades or a job stay and become permanent citizens as well.

If you're failing school, have gotten in trouble with the law, and/or unemployed

But they don't get deported in the meantime. The ones with jobs and who are contributing members of society, that is.

Sure, but I hope you realize you're no longer defending DACA

I have no problem with another amnesty act. Reagan's amnesty act (Disclaimer: I was 14 in 1986) did not destroy the country by ultimately allowing 2.7 million (out of a possible 3 million) become citizens. If the country did not self-destruct at that point, I don't think that (for the sake of argument, I'll use the same 90% ratio for the 690K that are still on DACA) allowing 621K will destroy the country either.

In fact, with an Amnesty act, I would also include a provision that pulls INS completely out of "sanctuary City/States". The obvious pros/cons of this approach would be that the Sanctuary City/State would both reap the benefits and incur the costs of their stance. In other words, they would be solely responsible for the immigrants within their borders. (In the event that they wanted to reverse status, a reversal of status would only be accepted by the Federal Government if it were ratified through popular vote.)

For the Repubs who dislike this plan, think about this: DACA was set up the way it was so it could act as a veiled threat. "If you vote Republican, they'll take away the immigration status of you or your friends/loved ones". If you remove the boogyman threat of deportation away, you might find that the Democrats have to work much harder to get votes from the Hispanic community. (Example: while the Catholic church's influence is declining in Mexico, it is still a heavily dominant religion up to and including the pro-life stance. The same applies for First-gen immigrants.) If the Repubs could think long-term with this issue, they might actually benefit from an amnesty act.

In the end, Amnesty would be an "Everyone wins AND loses" act.....which is the hallmark of an excellent compromise. I'd be okay with that.

The DACA solution is incredibly simple. The problem, as I mentioned, is that the left nor the right really want to solve the issue, because they love illegal votes and labor. The left and the right need to stop blanketing it. DACA recipients need to be look at an individual basis

1) never committed any crimes, other than the illegal entry
2) never was on government assistance
3) shows drive to assimilate into America

You hit that criteria, you get amnesty. No voting, and no chain migration. It's that simple. Its a very fair deal. The democrats and republicans arguing against this deal should be ashamed of themselves

I'm not hearing a realistic solution. However you feel about why they're here or whether they should be here in the first place, they're here. Mass deportation is not a realistic solution and continuing to kick the can down the road won't help matters either. Keeping them in some form of quasi-citizen/economic slave status isn't a viable option.

The solution is to enforce immigration law as it is written, not to allow illegal families sanctuary until their kids are all grown up and now face deportation long after they're socially entrenched in the country they aren't supposed to be in.

If the law was enforced to begin with, this wouldn't be a problem. The longer illegals are given sanctuary, the bigger the problem will get.

Good Americans don't equate the law with justice or morality.

Americans look out for their neighbors and help those that can't help themselves.

There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe inscribed with "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free the wretched refuse of your teeming shore"

So no a good American wouldn't want to deport these kids that never chose to break a law and have to abstain from breaking any laws and be productive members society to stay. They're honestly probably more American and better for the country than many that want to send them away.

You're citing a poem inscribed onto a statue. I don't think any good American would actually believe that has any bearing, legally. We have immigration laws

I just said we don't need equate morality and legality.

And yes I'm citing a poem that has no legal bearing but has long been part of our national identity.

"we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

"Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or I'll that we will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to ensure the survival and success of liberty"

These are probably some of the most well known words in the world. Do they have legal bearing? No but they build a national identity. Words and symbols have even if they are not the law.

Regardless of the law letting these kids make a life here is about as American as apple pie and baseball.
