DACA

I think DACA was a well meaning plan with some unintended consequences such as unaccompanied children amassing on the boarder. The problem is the POTUS has an obligation to uphold and enforce the law....not skirt around them as the POTUS sees fit. I think letting DACA die on the vine, as it were, is a good move. It will/should provide common ground for the start of serious immigration reform.

Mike's Immigration Reform

1. To the maximum extent possible, secure the border.
2. Continue to deport illegals with criminal records - debate only the 'criminal record' - busted for procession of pot is not the same are armed robbery
3. If you came to the country as an infant, you can apply for legal status and won't be deported
4. If you have a job, you can stay on work visa
5. Parents of minors will no be deported until children are 18


OK, in truth, I have no idea the pros and cons of these ideas. What I would like to see is for congress too get together and draft a plan. Get input from EVERYBODY including Hispanics and nationalists, dems, reps, every state, Dept of Ed, Dept of Homeland Security, ICE, BTers posting on internet forums. Produce a plan. Agree on what can be agree upon. Then debate the rest. Nothing is off the table including amnesty and executions (J/K). People are looking to the POTUS to solve this and that is just wrong. 535 member of congress we hired to do this....they have free medical and pension for life! The need to earn their money!!
