No offense to Europeans.
You're absolutely right. We wouldn't be having this problem now if the face of undocumented immigration is a white, blond, blue-eyed child.

Of course this is a racial issue. Why would the white men in power in America legalize millions of brown and yellow immigrants and make it harder for them to hold on to their positions?

Our existence "harms" those legal migrants and Americans who compete for the same jobs as us. We lower their wages, slightly. Should they therefore be against us staying? Of course not. They have no right to their jobs, and in the aggregate they still benefit economically.

These children may have changed the political calculus involved in the current immigration debate, but we have no right to have politics go any specific way. If you look at the data this 'surge' of children has been occurring since the early Obama administration, and would have likely occurred under a McCain or Romney administration. These children did not come here to harm you. They came for a better life.

One cannot be blamed for abstract harm they cause others. It is fortunate this is the case or we'd have people being sued for being ugly!

Red states people don't appreciate our lovely colored skin.

Well, the majority of people don't think people like you are in this messed up situation. You'd also get more love if your eyes were blue lol. I've often wondered what life would be like if I were white with blue eyes. Reminds me of Louis CK. I'm sure you get plenty of love unless you are not hollywood attractive.

Count your blessings at least you are not ugly, old, and with a receding hairline like me. The only thing I have going for me is my brain and my sexy Cinnamon skin color that shines like Cinnamon toast crunch under the sun.

Oh they didn't harm me? Why is it that they are now considered to be here legally and I'm not? Why is it that there was going to be an announcement on executive orders in June and as soon as June came around, they all showed up asking for permisos? Whether they planned on it backfiring or not, the fact is that created a crisis. I'm not running for office so I don't need to be politically correct - these kids screwed us over and now they have their nice little parole cards and enjoying their free living quarters and meals and planning on bringing in the rest of their families.

Look at the data again. The 'surge' started in the early Obama administration, long before DACA was announced. Its the media that is portraying it as a new thing because it was a slow newsweek.

Its like the Syria crisis. That has been going on for years and only gets attention when we got nothing else to look at.

The delay occurred because Obama wants to give senate democrats better odds in the midterm elections. This thing about the kids is just a political excuse.

yeah I think brown hating is dumb, But then again when people were migrating from europe here they weren't treated as nice. Specially the Irish.
