I love my parents too, and I consider what will happen to them if this agreement is reached, especially since we live in So Cal. But, I will say that I'd rather be in a stronger position of power (e.g. residency) than to have DACA. The former puts me a better position to fight for others.

A lot of people on the left refuse to compromise, but as Fresh mentioned, making that claim is easy because they have legal status. They do not have to worry about finding work or getting deported. For the dreamers who do agree with people like Pelosi, I wonder why? Do you have it so easy that you don't even worry about deportation or your loved ones getting a job? Why??? Honestly, I am tired of waiting and dealing with all this crap.
