Letting her stay rewards her parents for breaking the law.
Yeah, you want to penalize the parents but can't do it, so you want to penalize their love one instead? I can see how coward and cruel you are. I have no problem deporting those parents because of their own action, but include the kids who were here by force without any other way out is something more heartless act. If they actually cut-out the valid time for DACA (e.g. only valid to those kids who are brought in and undocumented in the country on or before the day the bill was passed), it would be better stop exploiting the law later on.
I suspect many or most people who have eluded justice would say they same thing for themselves if eventually discovered. Should just look the other way if we finally find information about that hit-and-run 10 years ago or the arson?
Now you assume that every single undocumented/illegal alien is a criminal. I can see who you are supporting. If that the case of someone being discovered with criminal records later on, then deal with it as Americans if the person has become an American. Aren't 'Statue of Limitations' for? If it is a serious crime and/or the statue of limitation hasn't run out, then prosecute the person. How's difficult about the matter?
The thing is that there are some who did that, but most of them don't. Most of them want to make better money compared to where they came from, so that they can have a better lives. But no, you just look at all of them as criminal, not offenders (to the immigration laws). I don't have problem if they deport those criminals, but don't tell me that you just look the other way and want an easy way out by assuming that everyone is.
Crimes should involve intent and as a child she did not have an intent; not even 'negligently' because she had no ability to do anything about her situation. Therefor she inst [sic] a criminal. Now just not being a criminal does not grant one the right to reside in the United States. So if you ask me the rule of law demands she be required to leave but fairness demands she should be permitted to access the existing lottery system, work visa, ... systems or any future immigration path opened without prejudice.
You have no idea how to go through a process to become a citizen, do you? You just think that these kids get it an easy way, don't you? You think that they all of the sudden live in American dream while they are growing up, don't you? You think they don't have to do anything but rather get a free path without living through any tough time that their parents force them to go through with them, don't you? This is what some Americans think -- take it for grant being an American. There is no educational class to teach these people. The only way that they can learn it from is life experience, either direct (one of the kids) or indirect (knowing those who have gone through very well). I can tell you that no, it is not as easy as stamping. There are a lot of things involved and a very long time consuming.
