DACA, I forget just how the acronym works, but it was/is an Obama policy of leniency toward young adults brought into the US as small children, by parents who are/were illegal immigrants. Obama asked Congress to do something but Congress doesn't pass laws anymore and the DACA bill never happened.
Me, I feel for kids brought into and raised in the US from early childhood. They are now old enough for high school and college, old enough to enlist, and they are on Mr. Migra's hit list because they are not citizens, don't even hold a green card. For the vast majority of them, who have stayed out of trouble with the law, are gainfully employed, paying taxes, married, raising children, hold honorable discharges from the armed forces, they sound like solid desirable citizens to me. Let's naturalize them. We need more good solid citizens to keep the country running. It takes many tax paying citizens to pay for just one druggie drawing welfare.
Anyhow, the Trump administration isn't behind DACA, and revoked much, maybe all of the Obama executive orders that created DACA. And the matter is now going to the Supremes.
This should not be happening. We should have insisted on the CongressCritters passing a DACA bill. This kind of policy ought to be set in law by Congress, it should not set by presidential say-so (executive orders) or by the Supremes. We need to get on the CongressCritter's cases and insist that they stop messing around, and pass a reasonable DACA bill.
