First class plane tickets paid by Mexico.

Maybe he will send us back in his campaign jet?

Send us back on Airforce one

"I'm gonna build a plane ok? A beautiful plane, magnificent i tell ya. And it's gonna have 750,000 first class seats. Yuge plane. And we're gonna put all the dreamers in there, they"ll fit, we're gonna do it believe me. Nobody builds planes better than me. So anyway....this amazing plane is gonna fly around the world and it's gonna stop on every single country dropping off daca kids, it's gonnna be great. And they're gonna be very happy, very happy and grateful."

Well then they probably would have been let in. But when you tell CBP that your sole intent is to protest the President of the United States... Then yeah. You're gonna get denied entry.

That is not what happened in many cases...

Many Canadians were denied entry flat out.

Anyways its fine, there are more important things to discuss.

I am really scared!

- Trump want to collect fines from people who are unlawfully present, as well as from those who facilitate their presence Presumably, that means that Trump wants to prosecute those who have violated immigration laws. There is currently no fine for people who are unlawfully present, but there are several different provisions in US immigration law that allow for the fining people who aid and abet illegal immigration, but those require a criminal conviction. Frankly, this section is so vague as to have no meaning, unless it is a directive to the Department of Justice to start prosecuting employers. Under an Attorney General Jeff Sessions, I can assure that will happen.


- A very powerful changed ordered by Trump is to try to strip Privacy Act protection from anyone who is not a U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident. Right now, all immigration records are sealed from public view. If this comes to fruition all immigration records of every immigrant would be open to public inspection until they have lawful permanent residence. While some would say that is a good thing, keep in mind that means enormous amounts of personal data become available to anyone who wants it. It is clear the President (and DHS) can do this.

The second part horrifies me to no end, they'll see the W-2's I sent with my renewal requests. The amount I got paid at work some times in the past excluded me from paying taxes because I wasn't making enough money (I ended up prioritizing schoolwork rather than making money, because college was THAT awful for me). I don't think that would kick me in the ass so much, but I was jobless when I sent my last DACA renewal (because the last job I had was a STUDENT job at my university, and they had to let me go when I graduated) so......

Ugh, I know I'm being irrational, but this whole situation is driving me nuts! I'm just afraid that they'll see the info I sent and think I'm taking advantage of the system, with holding money, etc, and do something about it.....

Yep we are all screwed I would say at least half of us at some point worked under the table, and had traffic infractions, no DL etc..
