      Dreamers are illegal immigrants who were abused by their parents. This does not mean we shouldnt deport them.

          Deportion is not abuse, why on Earth would it be?

          I think we have fundementally different ideas of what abuse and deportation are

            Deportion is not abuse

            The recipients of DACA are young people who have grown up as Americans, identify themselves as Americans, and many speak only English and have no memory of or connection with the country where they were born.

            You would send someone to a country they have no memory of, no connection to, and cannot speak the language and not call it abuse? They’re not being sent home. They’re effectively being sent to a foreign country.

                It’s not an apt comparison.

                It is not sending a random person to a random country.

                It is sending a citizen of that country back to their country.

                One can agree or disagree with doing it, but it isn’t a random person being sent to a random country.

                If we want to get particular, it is the right thing to do under international law.

                    The country of their origin and citizenship. You don’t identify as an American; you ARE an American.

                    They were not born here, and their parents were not citizens. They are not citizens of American.

                    If they are deported, they are being sent back to their rightful country. The one that can issue them a passport.
