Your explanation is incorrect. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a United States immigration policy that allows some individuals with unlawful presence in the United States after being brought to the country as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit in the U.S. To be eligible for the program, recipients cannot have felonies or serious misdemeanors on their records. Unlike the proposed DREAM Act, DACA does not provide a path to citizenship for recipients. The policy, an executive branch memorandum, was announced by President Barack Obama on June 15, 2012. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began accepting applications for the program on August 15, 2012.

Please give a website with info that backs ups your assertion that the USA ever just allowed illegal immigrants to remain. The crime they committed was not following proper immigration laws of the USA. That's a crime.

I had a friend in high school that had no idea he was undocumented, I don't think he even knew what that meant, really, because nobody talked about that in the late 80's early 90's. He found out when he went to take his DL test.

And they need to correct their status. No other country in the world allows people to come in without going through their laws of obtaining citizenship. NOT ONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. You wanna be here - do it legally.

They don’t have to pay money to study, they gave to pay money to be taught. Teachers deserve to be paid ... their are costs associated with developing good curriculums and . maintaining accreditation (so that students can be guaranteed education standards are being met) not to mention costs associated with brick and mortar schools ... plus all the extras students expect... who do you think should foot the Bill for these costs?

Sure, because people can totally walk around and be successful without a diploma of any sort. I disagree. Tuition rates should either be much lower than they are now or free and have the universities somehow pay their professors through the generous funds that some families/organizations provide for them.

That’s f***ed up

The ironic thing about not letting in immigrants is that, if you look far back enough, we’re all descendants of immigrants, documented and undocumented. He’ll, my paternal grandfather and uncle stowed away on a ship headed for the US, back around 1909-1910. When they disembarked at Ellis Island, they bluffed their way through the line and managed to get okayed to enter the country. So, except for the lack of easily accessible verification of Grandpa’s paperwork, I too would be considered a “Dreamer”. There’s no way I could be sent back to Slovenia (yeah let’s or talk about who else came from there) to live, because my father never taught his kids the language or too, us to visit the relatives still living in Ljubljana.The exception to all this are Native Americans who, though they technically were immigrants themselves when they crossed the Bering Strait and set foot on this unoccupied continent tens of thousand of years ago, they still got here first—-long before anyone else.

We have a similar situation in Britain, but now with Brexit, the racists are loving it, but during the 3 months lockdown this year, Brits wouldn't do food picking jobs so farmers had to hire Europeans in again!!!!

Our government says you must come here legally.

Our government say we can not let in ILLEGAL immigrants. LEGAL immigrants are allowed in. Every country in the world has this policy. And Kathryn Baylis - your tale about your relatives bluffing their way in is BS. Try visiting Ellis Island's museum and you'll be taught the facts.

No country can take in an unlimited number of immigrants. The USA has been taking in more than anywhere else for a long time.

There are many many many students that get free education in the United States because they are immigrants... because they meet low income standards and obtain grants (don’t have to pay them Back). These are people whose families paid zero to very little in terms of taxes that par for colleges and universities, not to mention many other Public use areas and services provided by state and federal government. On the contrary - my father served nearly 30 years in the USAF... my mother worked for several non profit agencies serving her community and I also have worked for a non profit agency with at risk kids gor 10 years, and now as a law enforcement officer for 16+. years All of us gave paid our taxes our entire adult lives while earning Total middle class and below incomes. I had to pay in full for both my undergraduate degree and my graduate degree. I worked FT and went to school FT simultaneously. And I am still paying off my student loans. Is that fair? Absolutely not.

AN undocumented student shouldn't be here, let alone going to school here. Many dolts and gits think ILLEGALS should welcomed with open arms here.

It's all about the money, bankers, investors, large corporations and the healthcare industry want every blasted penny they can squeeze out of us. For instance if we or rather the government concedes to put in place a Medicare for All program (universal healthcare) then the healthcare industry would no longer make the billions of dollars annually that they currently make. If big pharma is squeezed to give us reasonable costs of medicines and this would of course include severe drugs to treat cancer or such, then they too wouldn't make billions off of us. It all comes down to dollars, huge billions of dollars and they wouldn't support those politicians that talk of changing it.......So far they have succeeded, I really don't have much hope of it changing in my lifetime.

no it our f****d up government who hate it

Thank goodness not all Europeans are as melodramatic as you!. Our systems have nothing to do with hating anyone. It has to do with economics and earning your way not constantly expecting handouts from government. That creates a completely unmotivated society with low expectations and complete resistance to change and progression. Children in America (from 0-18) have access to free heart care. Senior citizens as well. But when you legally become an adult, you are expected to pul your weight, contribute in some positive way to society. To work, grow and prosper. Except now... because of ideas like yours... becoming successful is a bad thing because the “have nots” demand to have all the extras in life as the “haves” ... but without doing any of the work to get them.

straight males you dont get s**t if you are gay

It's always been that way in EVERY country around the world. Do me a favor - go to Indonesia and try to over-stay your visa.... see what happens. Guaranteed it is worse than anything we do to ILLEGALS here.

This includes you.

Well...if we go back historically, maybe you are the ones who needs to be deported first

Are you a racist? What is wrong for people wanting to be in America, where they probably have more opportunities than they do in their home country. What is wrong with people moving to America because they think they are safe here? They're not hurting you, killing you, assaulting you, NOTHING! So say you're racist and hate when people from other countries succeed, and MOVE ON, hon!

not like their lives in the country they came from would have been better, she probably never would have gotten an education if she hadn't been there

It’s only too bad for you. It worked out fine for them.
