I am heartbroken every time I hear of a teenager being deported who knows nothing but the United States, with no experience in another "home" culture. Those children did not break the law.
Still, a guarantee against deportment reward the parents who brought those children here -- who DID break the law.
And while I appreciate the many amongst my acquaintances who say "let them pay full ride for school" or "join the military" to earn citizenship, as a military retiree, I note there are many who would be otherwise good citizens who could not or should not be in the military. Likewise, I do not believe college is the only way to demonstrate value to society.
So I'm torn. I dislike ANY administration which thinks it can circumvent rules by executive decree, and it seems to be more and more common over the last 20 years.
