DACA was an attempt to "triage" and prioritize who can stay and who needs to go. And the children brought across the border BY THEIR PARENTS who have little ties to Mexico are a pretty clear case of a LOW priority immigration problem.
OTH -- DACA CREATED major problems in giving the impression to Central America that the US was opening up the largest orphanage on the Planet. And set off MASS migration of unescorted minors, riding the death trains thru Mexico and getting played by smugglers and slavers on their journeys. THAT'S the distinction that needs to be made. If they came WITH family -- they qualified for conditional status. If they were SENT HERE thinking the US has the ability or will to keep 10s of thousands HOUSED in gymnasiums and adopting them out --- they are mistaken.
It was a literal ethical disaster seeing these unescorted Minors, abused and housed in gyms for months and years and being "wards of the states". One of the unintended consequences of leftists who really don't DESIGN policy and don't know how things work..
DACA created no such problems. and the numbers clearly show that population migration from south of our border dropped as our economy got worse.
but what is being done to these people is disgusting. and anyone moral should acknowledge that.
the "leftists" aren't the problem. white supremacists are.
You're ill inform and confounding facts. The facts are that Unescorted minors DRASTICALLY increased after the concept of an executive order was floated by the Dear Leader. And the US received somewhere between 100,000 and 160,000 over a 3 year period.
70,000 kids will show up alone at our border this year. What happens to them?
These PARENTLESS minors were not at all affected "by the economy" since they became orphans of the State. And they DID NOT return to Central America. And it's further fucked up by the fact, that within this segment of "dreamer" that MANY of the gang members or potential RECRUITS for gang membership came into America.
Not at ALL like the children of FAMILIES that crashed the border..
