We either have laws or we don't. As long as we do they should be followed. This whole thing of feeling sorry for the DACA "kids" is just a tool. First of all, over half of them haven't been "kids" for some time. In our transient society these days our children tend to grow up and often follow careers in other locations which can be states or even other countries. It's almost unusual to find people still living where they grew up. Saying that we're breaking up families is ridiculous. People do that all by themselves these days.
OK, these people are illegal because of their parents. It's the parents who have to be dealt with. If the DACA youngsters are still underage then they should go with their parents back to whence they came. If they've reached adulthood then they need to show how they get their income. Are they using fake identification, lies or on some welfare roll? How about their ability to use our facilities such as schools and medical and whatever else?
Since they'd have been led to believe that breaking our laws will be accepted on different levels, we could give them an extra 6 months to get their affairs in order, then they need to go back and get in line behind the legitimate applicants for our citizenship.
We do have to take steps to polish up the steps that people need to take to become Americans. That does include learning our language and showing that they have a legitimate means of supporting themselves without us having to underwrite them. They need to declare allegiance to this country and it's values.
We would all welcome large numbers of these people into our fold. Letting them crawl through fences and whatever to be able to increase the voting numbers in a particular direction should be stopped now.
