"Trump is punishing children for actions of their parents!"

[whocares1970]

(1) First and foremost, isn't it interesting that the left are considering this to be a punishment for a person born in a foreign country to have to go back to that country? Do they believe that it is everybody's right to live in America, and taking this right away is a punishment? (Yes, they actually do, and that is the main point they are trying to make)

(2) If you stop and think for a moment - nobody is preventing these DACA people from living in the US. They can go back to their country, get a working/student/whatever visa, and come to the US legally. Well, there is actually a law that says that if you are here illegally, this should make you ineligible for reentering this country for some time, but I do not think anybody remembers this "barbaric" (or rather very logical) law anymore, we are sooooo far beyond this as a society. And so, if these illegals are so vital to our economy, why cannot they come back on proper visas? Why do the left concentrate on a direct transitioning from illegal to amnested (one way or another) status? If the process of granting visas is so bad (not really, but let's assume this for the sake of the argument), why don't they work on a legislature to fix it (and they did not do it during the Obama years either)? The answer is clear. It's because of the point I made in (1) above. The left do not care about particular people, they care about instilling this notion that everybody has a right to come to the US, and that it is not up to the US to decide who is to be let in. They are fighting our sovereignty, the rest is much less important to them.

(3) Since they are talking about the actions of the parents of these DACE aliens - perhaps they would advocate for deporting the parents, those who committed the criminal act in the first place? No? Why not? So, they want NOBODY punished for that, and the phrase about punishing children for actions of their parents is just a convenient mantra aimed at causing a certain instinctive response, bypassing the rational facility.

(4) I have discovered that quite a few of those who are now hysterically attacking Trump for the "winding down" of DACA do not even know that the whole issue does not apply to those who have been born in this country (regardless of the immigration status of their parents). Do not get me wrong, children of illegals should not have automatic US citizenship. But this is what we have now. And it looks like many of the advocates are not even aware of this "little" detail. What can I say? Some people who are not so smart and not educated about the issues are being played by their leaders.

(5) On a more philosophical note - multiculturalism is teaching us that American culture is racist and - oh so terrrrible! - while cultures of other people are wise, broadening your horizons, and, in any case, by no means worse. If this is so, is it really such a terrible punishment to be deported from the US?

(5) That's exactly the reason why as many people from other kulchas must be brought in - to abolish the bigoted, racist and xenophobic present culture and let the good people bring wisdom and enligthment onto this .. territory. Those brilliant people dedicate themselves to improvement of the world, they cannot even eat their sandwich in the morning without thinking about the world, and everybody must help them in their noble endeavours.
