So no, we're not better than anybody. Age cap should be fair.. if you came here as a child.. then you qualify .. easy as pie. no matter how old you are. Now they should do extensive background checks and if you have 1 DUI, just 1 DUI you should be deported. I think that's how tough the Dream Act should be, no criminal history what so ever. Who cares about the age gap. GOP wants a tough bill, there it is. Focus on the criminals, and yes we are better than those criminals. once you're 10 year old you know the right from the wrong. i can't believe you used Jews to compare the DREAMERS LOL ..

Ma nigga.

yeah i've been typing the same way since i came on here man, i haven't changed a bit. If anything i have more compassion towards people who don't have it as good as i do, because lets face it even though i was (are) undocumented for the most part i am better off with just deferred action. I always frown upon people who try to cheat the system and who aren't doing what they're suppose to, which is why i would rather prefer this bill have a criminal penalty than the age cap, that way everybody who really wants to be here should be here. Why they didn't do that in the first place? i don't know. GOPers should stfu once something like that is brought up.

I think somewhere in the 10-14 age range would be good and no I'm not saying that because of my own interest cause I came here much younger than that, I just don't think deporting someone who came here at 16 back to their country of birth would have them lost like someone who came here at 10..

I'm sure if that 19 year old could speak English, he'd tell me "what part of illegal don't you understand?" and "You should have found a way to get legal" after he gets his papers.

Really though, this whole fighting over who is the better Dreamer reminds me of the scene in Schinder's List where the wealthy Jews were moved into the ghetto and were still acting all superior to the other Jews because they could eat at the fancy restaurant, or some who were selected to have official jobs (ie. the Dreamers with DACA who think they somehow are better) while in reality they were all heading to the gas chambers (metaphorically in our case).
