I like you, man. That's why it's painful to watch you embarassing yourself.

No person is "illegal"

There are millions currently waiting who have gone through proper procedure to apply for citizenship. So no, there is a difference between "legal" and "illegal" status or there would be no point in having a documented immigration system in the first place. If you can't make that distinction then you are part of the problem.

Either make these kids citizens or kick them out. Trump needs to pick one and stick with it.

How Many Are Waiting to Come to America?

What really needs to happen is a serious overhaul of the immigration process so we don't have people waiting 100 years for a green card.

How would it even make sense to send them back to their parents' country of origin? I'm assuming they don't have dual citizenship so you're not even sending them back to where they supposedly belong. You're just kicking them out and letting God sort it out cause **** it it's not your problem anymore.

Isn't there some way you could express this through a gif?

So treasury secretary Stephen Mnuchin says he and Trump want to tie any relief funds for Texas into Congress passing the administration's proposed increases to the debt ceiling.

Way to politicize human suffering you f*cking a$$holes.

Progressive coalition here is prepared to take to the streets

Business leaders are already screaming bloody murder over the possibilty it happens. This would be such a massive blow to our economy, of which Dreamers make up a rather large contributing sector.

Killing DACA is the only racist thing here.

You don't see how boiling a group of people down to their economic benefits is dehumanizing? Would you support overturning DACA if this particular segment wasn't fiscally positive? Look up infer.

Keep DACA in place because they're goddamn people who lived their whole lives here. That's all the reasoning you need.
