I like to view people's actions based on motives. The Republicans for the most part don't care about us. Their motive to help us is the wall and other immigration reforms. That's what their base wants, and if they can get that, they'll obviously look good and get votes. As for the Democrats, their motive for helping us comes from the fact that most of us will undoubtedly vote Democrat once we legalize. In my state of Michigan, there are about 7k DACA recepients.. Trump got my state by about 9k votes. Now if Democrats can allow my parents to legalize through me or my sister, that's another 2 Democrat voters. When you look at the rest of us DACA recepients with family in Michigan, you'd be able to turn this state blue because if we legalize and our parents legalize thanks to the Dems... Well.. You got yourself a lot more voters in the long term. Anyways, if Trump gets his wall for a continuation of DACA, I can assure you the issue will lose all of its momentum and we're all going to have to look for other ways to legalize. No point in shooting ourselves in the foot for momentary/cheap relief
