i think the discussion has become mixed up due to folks not understanding there are two separate issues...DACA extension or not, and all other immigration reform.
Paul, I'm gonna combine a couple quotes and reply...
Actually, I personally know you have compassion. I know about you a little off the forum, and I am not talking about compassion as a bleeding heart way to deal with DACA.
Also, we would know if they are bleeding the system because they have agreed to register and have been followed. There are easy to find figures regarding how many have been disqualified from any protection and what they did or did not do to lose protection, how many have graduated at different levels of school, how many have served in the Armed Forces, how they have compared to kids born and raised here both scholastically and earnings-wise...and that the overall effect has been a gain in the economy, not a drain.
Other illegals hiding out of sight, well I agree we can't really know the stats.
If the issue for you is none of that matters cuz they came in wrong (albeit having no choice but to stay with parents) then that's how you feel.
To me, that's a good debate.
