[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4093807, member: 42584"] - There was a time when people from South of our border were literally shoving their babies and young children across our border in the hopes that, 'at least my children will grow-up having a better life than I can give them', and then just walking off leaving them. Others came unaccompanied as part of a larger caravan of immigrants. - The 'Dream Act' (later to become the 'DACA Act') tried/tries to solve the problem of what to do with the babies and other underage unaccompanied children that were in our country illegally. It would not have been morally right to just push them back across the border where a magnitude of child rapists, child trafficers, and drug pushers were just waiting outside our border to pounce on these new victims. - It's not perfect but what the 'Act' does is to open a path for these children to eventually become American citizens [B]provided [/B]they meet the requirements, namely to get a college degree or serve honorably in our military, don't break our laws, maintain good moral character, etc. - We made a pact that if they did what they were required to do then we would hold up our end of the deal and grant them citizenship. We, as a Nation need to keep our promises. For those 'kids' that didn't comply with the rules of the 'Act', they need to be treated like any other illegal foreigner and booted out of our country just as soon as they reach adulthood. [/QUOTE]
