Homan said the parents of Dreamers will have two options...

Trump also said he would be open to working with Democrats to ensure that Dreamers — undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — would be able to stay in the country.

Homan said the parents of Dreamers will have two options: “You can either take a child home with you, or they just stay here. But you don’t get a pass.”

I understand everyone loves their parents, I do too (they live abroad).

But this is the card Trump Admin is about to deal to us.

Personally I think it is brilliant. It will cut down on number of DACAs for legalization substantially. Most DACAs will probably just self-deport with their parents.

It is sad. But it is the reality about to hit us.

DACA got halted for new applicants in 2017. Aside the few that were able to sitestep the minimum age requirement due to removal orders (and actually did so), the youngest would be 23 today. 23 is very much an age that you should be able to stand on your own two feet. Then how many are in their 30s or 40s?

So yeah, I don't really expect many DACAers to follow their parents if they get deported.

Trump’s Border Czar appointee Tom Homan says mass deportation plans will be targeted towards violent criminals.

“This isn’t going to be neighborhood sweeps and military vehicles going through the city… You know, President Trump and myself have committed that this is going to be a targeted enforcement operation.”

lmao they aint gonna do it.

Trump is gonna do a mass amnesty. Book it.

80%+ of DACA parents are Mexican nationals.

oh no they going back to free healthcare with medicines included and guaranteed pensions.... what a tragedy.

Damn, sounds amazing. Maybe you should go there.

There was an implied understanding that information provided to apply for DACA would not be used in retaliatory enforcement. I don't believe the text was very explicit in that promise though.

I think everyone should calm down. They want you to be in fear status so you make more mistakes and possibly even self deport because: "oh scary! Run away!" Notice how they are already walking things back, trying to state that criminals should be deported first and then try to retain some of the fear by saying and then "collateral."

With that said, make some plans using your new found stability.

Might not be so much as a matter of living off their parents but rather facing a situation where they now will likely see their parents a handful of times before they pass. Sure you can see them if they're severely sick but they will effectively be out of your life.

I know too many people who would pay almost anything just to hear a parents voice again. But it doesn't work that way. If you have an incredibly close bond with your family in general, you'll only have to settle for the regret of not having spent more time with them. No refunds.

But I suspect you're right that a lot won't make the choice to leave, mostly if they have kids of their own or a career that has momentum. Their duty would be to their own kids.

The hellscape that DACA recipients have to tangle with is a tragedy.
