I dont have time to create a reddit account now to make this point:
There is NO law in place for DACA recipients. Literally NONE. We were brought here as children, not knowing our situation, going to school like any other american kid and then one day we turn 16 and realize we cannot get a drivers license. Then we turn 18 and start doing research and realize we HAVE to leave the country within 180 days or face a 10 year ban. So we have to leave a country many of us have grown in for the majority of our life just because there is no law addressing our situation. We cannot even join the military. Guys a lot of those against DACA do not realize we are unable to do ANYTHING. They THINK we can just go through the existing process, but that is NOT the case. And this is the point we MUST point out. The immigration system is broken for US.
Our parents broke the law, yes, but the kids like us should have a chance to go through the process considering our situation. All we are asking for is a law be created to allow us to PAY and go through a process to become residents and then citizens. There is no negative about that.
I personally feel my parents deserve to be deported, there are indeed laws for a reason. I may be in the minority here, and I grew up with a lot of hatred in my heart for my parents bringing me here, and even though I realized they did it for a better opportunity I still KNOW they did not do it the right way like the legal immigrants did. As such, the only way to get our points across is to accept that our parents deserve some kind of penalty, whereas we deserve our chance to make a life for ourselves.
I fully expect backlash against my opinion, but quite frankly DACA recipients situation is a humanitarian issue while visa overstayers are law breakers.
