Under 18, by law is a minor, does not matter if age is 17 years and 11 months! Please learn to be appreciative of fellow undocumented folks who may gain legalization from this DA bill.

17 year olds had a choice when comming here, and they do remember their country of origin. The rationale applies less.
I'd be happy for fellow DREAMERs if the age restriction was changed, and the DREAM Act passed like that. However, it is riskier. I wouldn't say it's selfish though.

I do think moving here when you are 17 and a half is different than when you move here when you were 5 months old, 2 years, or even at age 10. |

I can already see the opposing side using the argument that 17yos are already grown up by the time they get here and tbh I can understand that argument.
