Because this is the country they know and they work and go to school and help support the economy. You are confusing illegal immigration with DACA. Trump rescinded DACA. Heartless moron.
Many GOP are pro DACA as well.
That is true in some cases but many have lied about coming here as children and many do not speak English or have any respect for this country.
I am for DACA but we need to vet them.
One guy who worked in immigration came forth to say that he believed at least half of the 800,000 who were given work permits had lied. No one is checking and they are going by the applications that people filled out. If they don't vet them, may as well not even bother with applications.
I feel sorry for some people. There are those who just want to work and we can always use more tax payers. But, we have a right to know who is who. The government has a duty to uphold our laws and put the safety and well-being of Americans first.
We need tight border security and we need to take time to vet people. Anyone who committed a violent crime should be out and it should mean something when they do get deported. Right now it's easy for them to turn around and come right back. Many have been deported numerous times and it's futile without a real border.
