The simple truth of the matter is, DACA must go.
It's unconstitutional, illegal, and actually immoral.
It's often said that America is a nation of laws, which means our laws have to have meaning, and they must apply to everyone equally. We cannot simply pick and choose which laws we will follow, and which we can ignore. If this were the case, there would be no need for laws, police or prisons at all.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling bad for the so-called "Dreamers", and the terrible position they're in. It's okay to acknowledge that it's not their fault they were brought here illegally as children.
However, we also have to accept that the law is the law, and it's in place for a reason. We cannot (and should not) reward violations, at the expense of actual American citizens.
Yes, I am aware that Dreamers were brought here by their parents, and didn't have a choice. I also know that they were raised here, and many of them know almost nothing of their home country. And, that several have family members that are legal American citizens.
However, I am also aware that in order to get a livable wage at any job in this country, you must have a Social Security number, or a work visa. Since Dreamers are undocumented with immigration, one can only assume that a large number of them are using bogus, or stolen, numbers to go to school, or find work. (It's not racist, it's logic.)
If I were to steal, or make up, a Social Security number to get a job, I would be in serious trouble, when the authorities found out. It wouldn't matter how good my intentions may have been, or how hungry my family was. That is the law, and I violated it, end of story.
Another way to look at the situation is, if I were to rob a bank, and put the money in a trust fund for my kids, they wouldn't be allowed to keep the money after I was caught. In other words, they couldn't benefit from my crime.
Entering the United States without the proper documentation is illegal (just as it is in every other country on the planet). It doesn't matter what your excuse may be, or how you may feel about it emotionally.
Illegal aliens (Dreamers, or othetwise), take jobs away from citizens. They also drive down wages on certain low-level jobs, because employers can get away with paying them less, and don't have to provide benefits. (Who are they going to tell?)
So, supporting illegal aliens and sanctuary cities, is actually a form of exploitation. But, of course, Regressive politicians already knew this.
The truth is, most of the politicians on the Left have never really given a damn about illegal aliens, or their struggles. All that truly matters, is appearing to care, and trying to help. If they look like they're on the aliens' side, they win the votes of the illegals' friends and family whom are here legally. Plus, several Liberal areas are already trying to give aliens the right to vote themselves. (I wonder who they'll vote for when this happens...)
I don't doubt that the average, everyday Liberal out there, actually feels for these people, and genuinely wants to help them. Just as I have no doubts that this emotional debate was created, and is being stirred, by power hungry politicians, who only care about securing votes for themselves and their party.
There is nothing in the Constitution that grants the right to stay here illegally, if you were brought here as a child. DACA was/is an illegal bill, passed by Executive Order by President Obama (intent on side-stepping the law, and our Constitution). It sounds compassionate, and gives people the warm-fuzzies to think they're doing a good thing. But, are they really?
"America first" isn't just a slogan. It's how each of us must live, if our nation is going to survive. So, as cold and harsh as it may sound, we must get rid of DACA, for the good of the nation.
