So what is the end game ?
Roughly 800,000 qualified dreamers,adverage age 20.
How did they get here? Parents also here illegally 1.6 million
Adverage children of 3 minus the dreamer qualifiers 1.6 million
Which leaves an additional 3.2 million unqualified.
If you say okay dreamers get automatic citizenship,what are the options for the rest of their family?
They are subject to deportation,even through chain migration,if approved,they cannot apply while in a illegal status in country,so they would have to self deport in order to start the process,if they are forced to deport or notified to deport them they cannot apply because they will be recognized as being in the country illegally.
Up until this point the dreamers status as protected does not include the information on their parents and siblings,that protection then becomes removed as they will be required to submit it to immigration.
So dreamers get to stay while the rest of their family gets sent back without the option of returning.
So really,is it about compassion or the ability to secure an additional 4 million loyal votes in the future.
We as individuals have compassion,politicians are the masters of turning that compassion into votes.
So what do you think the fall out will be if the dreamers are approved as is,without an entire immigration reform package,when they get approved but have to give up the rest of their family in the process.
