I'm opposed to DACA amnesty but if a DACA wants to put their actual life on the line for the US and serve in our armed forces, that should be basically the only way to get legal. If they're physically unable to serve, community service in lieu should be accepted. That's the only way I think is acceptable.
Agreed! No more of this college garbage... Oh look, I displaced an American for 4 years on the tax payers dime, I should get amnesty. Nope.
I get the rational SOME of them was no fault of their own but it wasn't my fault either and not where I want my taxes spent.
How many would actually be putting their lives on the line though? Military service doesn't necessary mean you'd be on the front lines. Prior to Obama waving his magic wand illegal aliens couldn't even serve in our military. I prefer that all enlistees be Americans.
So few aren't thinking about the long term ramifications of making any of them legal. I have and it's not a pretty picture, IMO.
Unfortunately, an individual is either here in the United States legally or not.
The Swamp will devise a means to the end.
It usually doesn't mean that these days, you're right...but the potential is always there. You can be injured or killed in the line of duty even if you never see combat.
I can't see how it would work, but that's a pretty good idea. By applying, I assume that many would be disqualified, but many would also win that lottery. I like it. It seems a fair solution. The other idea about making them go a home, but waiving the 3 or 10 year bans for some of them is good too. I also kind of like the serve in the military as a path for some of them. This thread is the first one where these great ideas ar coming out. More please!
I like the latter option of them returning to their homelands and applying to come back legally and without the 3 or 10 year bans. Anything other than that is amnesty, IMO. I continue to disagree with them joining the military just so they can remain here.
We can thank President Trump that we are even having this conversation.
DACA has been passed on by previous Presidents which left these people in limbo.
Trump is daring to challenge it and finally make a decision about the Deferred Action.
These people should be made to get into the legal immigration line with everyone else.
Trump is forcing the conversation to take place.
I have no doubt that if Hillary had won we would now be setting up chairs at the National Mall to have a huge swearing in ceremony for our new citizens.
