Poll for my fellow Republicans regarding DACA

[Beet]

Yes because I dont believe in rewarding breaking the law. No matter who it is

So a baby who's born in Guatemala and brought to the United States by their parents is "breaking the law?"

Yes since they dont have the proper documentation, dont have permission to be here, and entered the country illegally. If my parents brought me into idk, say Japan when i was a kid, do i have the right to stay or demand that they allow me to stay?

It's not a question of rights, it's a question of morals.  You have no say where you end up as a child.  A child cannot apply for documentation.  Why should they be penalized because their parents broke the law?  In what other areas of the law do we apply this rationale?

The law requires you to be a US Citizen or have proper documentation if you want to be in this country, if you dont, tough. Under your method, the whole world would be flooding in here with their kids. Bottom line is i believe that we should cater to Americans rather than foreign nationals

Most Americans seem to support the program. So if you're catering to Americans, you'll do the policy most of them want which is continue the program.

I meant America should be for Americans first before we have to accomodate foreigners. Their parents broke the law, and there shouldnt be a reward for them because of it. Especially with those who want to give them citizenship, people who actually want to become citizens legally go through a long process and its a slap in the face to them if a bunch of border hoppers got to automatically just because of the "think of the children" excuse

I agree... we should be for Americans first. Again, most Americans seem to support the program, and as long as that is the case, we should respect the wishes of these majority of Americans first.
