DACA, Dream Act, and Immigration

Debbie Pelley
by Debbie Pelley, Contributing Author: As the saying goes, there are two sides to every
story. The only side the public hears is the side of the illegal aliens' kids - kids who can be up to 36 years old.

But we must not forget the other side of the story, the negative effects to Americans that no one mentions any more.

While collecting signatures for petitions, I heard hundreds relate the negative consequences they are experiencing because of illegal immigration, like having to close a successful family business, and losing jobs because illegal aliens could work so cheaply.

(Remember these kids can be up to 36 years old). Some people lost jobs because a Spanish speaking person was needed in their position. No one hears their stories of heartache and financial loss.

In states that have passed the Dream Act, every illegal alien student in college is taking the place of an American student and is getting instate tuition (and grants) which are not allowed to students from other states.  Every job these illegal aliens have is one less job for an American.

One of the main things we hear today is that we should not punish the kids for their parents' illegal actions. But children always reap the rewards or pay the consequences for their parents' actions. The children of doctors, lawyers, and financially successful parents reap many rewards because of their parents' financial success as well as many other favorable breaks. But, there are millions of children living in poverty because their parents don't get these same breaks.

While collecting signatures for petitions I often heard the statement: "I can't sign because I'm a felon." And I'm sure their children and the children of parents still in prison are facing many very negative consequences because of their parents' illegal actions. Yet, I don't hear a drumbeat of concern for the children of prison inmates.

And there are no stories of the many children of military parents or veterans whose pay puts them in poverty status. These are children of parents who have lost limbs and risked their lives for us. And numerous children now live in fear because their police parents face death every day they leave for work.

I wish we would hear more about how the children of these valiant Americans are hurting instead of concentrating on the pain of illegal aliens who have lived a better life and have received a better education than they would get in their own country, at the expense of American taxpayers.

National Review has noted that the press and politicians have been talking about DACA and the DREAM Act interchangeably, but they are different things, and the difference matters a lot.

To summarize, in the DACA program people don't get ciizenship BUT the Dream Act that has failed in Congress two or three times would give them full citizenship. The ultimate amnesty!

As identified in Wikepedia:The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country illegally as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.

"The DREAM Act bill, which would have provided a pathway to permanent residency [and citizenship]  for unauthorized immigrants brought to the United States upon meeting certain qualifications, was considered by Congress in 2007", 2011 and 2013 but never passed both houses.

"The DACA policy was rescinded by the Trump administration on September 5, 2017, but full implementation of the rescission was delayed six months to give Congress time to decide how to deal with the population that was previously eligible under the policy.
