Just think about it logically. I'm not saying that we stop fighting but we need to start with a REASONABLE compromise. Once 800K of us are taken care of, then we can tackle the rest.

If anything, we should be pushing for more practical cut-off age. Selling the idea that we were kids (when brought in) under 12 is MUCH more feasible than classifying 16, 17 and 18 year olds as "kids", which we all know is a bit of a bs. |

What is wrong with you?
A 17 year old is not less likely to follow his parents if they choose to immigrate to another country, than a 4 year old.
Also, in the US you reach legal age and can vote at 18. That's because you are deemed mature enough to make your own decisions and critically analyze various things. It's when your brain is fully-developed.
How can you expect a 16 or 17 year old to make that decision to not follow his parents?
Especially if there is violence/political instability in your home country?!

Let's be real, the argument that dreamers who were brought in at >(16,17 and 1
were "kids" at the time of entry is a complete bs. And I say this as a fellow dreamer. Like I said, we need to compromise in order to get anywhere and raising the age cap does not support our cause.
