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.
