My point is, let's give our .02, but let's give it in a softer manner.
In the meetings I had in DC these past few months with members of congress, I've advocated for all dreamers, regardless of age. Ryan's staffers actually made a comment about how we really aren't "kids" as the media portrays us.
But you're right, perhaps my comment was a bit insensitive and I don't want to be divisive in this crucial time.

yep this is true. im already set with degrees and im secured with my assets

im more afraid of younger dreamers not knowing what to do because they havent exp living without status before DACA.

i feel bad for the younger dreamers the most, but it's not the end of the world if it doesnt work out here.

Younger dreamers don't have that security.

It's a difficult situation, and DREAMers will react differently depending on what point in their life they're in.
