There are some courageous DACAers who think beyond their own self interests.

DREAMers Lobby Against a Trump Border Wall Deal—Even One That Would Save Them

Recipients of DACA are encouraging lawmakers to reject the main demand the president has made in exchange for their legal protections.

President Donald Trump’s decision Tuesday to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy opened the door for legislative deal making. And no proposed trade has been more widely discussed than one in which Trump gets funding for his beloved border wall in exchange for permanent legal protections for the so-called DREAMers.

There are just two major hitches: Democrats aren’t biting and, more significantly, neither are DACA recipients.

Those recipients, along with immigration reform advocates, have been lobbying lawmakers to reject any deal that would result in a border wall, Capitol Hill aides and activists have told The Daily Beast.

“I’m not going to step on top of my community to get ahead,” said Jose Aguiluz, a D.C. native who was brought by his family from Honduras when he was 15 years old and who received his DACA status in 2012.

Aguiluz, a nurse, was outside the White House on Tuesday to protest Trump’s decision. “By me trying to say, ‘Oh, let’s make a deal with the wall,’ it is like I’m stepping up on my community, my parents, uncles, and grandparents, that I’m putting them down so that I can get ahead,” he said. “That’s unfair and it’s not American.”

Lets be clear even many republicans are against the wall.

What we need to compromise is border security. Stuff like Cameras, drones, surveillance, more patrol agents along the border. That makes sense.

Who cares about a damn wall is what I want to know. It solves nothing and is symbloic. Government has wasted money on more useless causes. Give him the damn wall!

That's the thing, a wall won't affect the 11 million ALREADY HERE. If the wall is part of the deal, how is that throwing other immigrants under the bus?

It isn't.

How is a wall throwing anyone under the bus? It was not my fault or choice to come to this country. With a permanent solution for Dreamers, I am in a better shape to help my undocumented parents, siblings, friends, and neighbors. This all or nothing mindset is an ignorant one!

Dreamers like you are a problem and will be the reason nothing happens!
