I am adamantly, fervently against a “DACA deal” of any kind.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was an unconstitutional ukase by the previous administration and we should end it.
For years, “childhood arrivals” have been given the best education, training, health care and opportunity this great country has to offer.
Now, it is their duty — indeed their moral obligation — to return to their native countries and improve the lives of their fellow citizens in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
These nations may not be países mierdas, but they certainly need economic and political reform.
Who better to accomplish this task than young, vigorous natural citizens equipped with American ingenuity, training and know-how?
Our neighbors to the south will never improve if we allow them to avoid needed reform by “exporting” their citizens.
Let’s help the “childhood arrivals” man up and do the right thing.
End DACA, build the wall, terminate chain migration, sack the visa lottery program and require E-Verify.
Just think of it as tough love.
