Frank, much of what is put down in your OP is speculative @ best. After all...how do you compile HONEST numbers on 800,000 individuals who arrived here ILLEGALLY? I'm sorry but I'm not buying any of it as FACT as your trying to claim AND moreover IF the parents of these brats didn't care enough to introduce their children to OUR country in a legal fashion....I couldn't care less about their fate.
I'm SICK and TIRED of all the bleeding hearts endless " Think about the children " claims....THEIR OWN PARENTS PUT THEM IN THE CROSS HAIRS BY BREAKING OUR COUNTRIES LAWS. WE OWE THEM NOTHING
I'd like to see if peoples attitudes towards this unfettered ILLEGAL migration would change if the industry in which they're employed were being affected by them.
The ONLY children I have any concern for are those who were born and raised here or those who followed our countries laws to become a legal US Citizen.
They want a DREAM....start their own movement in Mehico....#MMGA

again, not expecting to change minds. But this bleeding heart piece is from a very conservative Libertarian. Surveys show that a strong majority of Americans from all parties and religions support having Congress make this work to keep the winners, pretty much as bipartisan agreement as America has on anything right now.
I believe that the roughly 800,000 in the program signed up and had to qualify for "protection" or be removed from that status...things like earned diplomas, military service, gainful employment, no criminal history etc. And legal or not, on average as a group they have outperformed American born kids, and we profit from them, they are not the drain on taxpayers many incorrectly claim,...none of which is reason to allow them to stay, I know that.
But these are not the migrant farm workers, nor the desperate willing to take low wage jobs, nor those looking for welfare...everything you and many good people hate. These are the types you'd normally encourage to join us in improving our society...just that they were the children of parents who came illegally rather than adults coming on their own.
Obama began this correctly, but definitely overreached when Congress ignored his calls to create a plan. I don't say this often, but Trump may be making the same correct demand of Congress now, and I endorse him on this.
Other than that, how do you round up 800,000 people who signed up in hopes of passing the test, never mind the 10 million we cannot trace at all, and deport them? It is fantasy to think it could ever happen.
