# Military members, # Homeless Veterans, # Disabled, # Senior Citizens. (I couldn't remember the actual numbers). Democrats care more about Illegal Aliens than for Americans.
And there it is Folks. The Republicans have not only made a budget crisis of their own making into Them vs. Us, but have shown you that they don't INTEND to make "illegal aliens" into "Americans" because their base doesn't want them to.

(109,031 posts)Who will we save? The 800,000 young Dreamers who trusted us with their lives when they signed up for DACA?
Or the millions of children on CHIP?
But it costs us nothing -- in fact it SAVES us money -- if we allow the Dreamers to stay; if we don't spend the resources needed to throw them out.
So pitting these young people against each other is just plain evil.

(819 posts)But there is such a thing as having legal status here. Without legal status, they face possible deportation at any point.

(14,277 posts)Right wing crap was all over the comment sections. And where the most likes you might see for a comment normally top out around 100, last night the outrageous political comments were getting around 800 likes. The Russian bots are out in full force. It's not just on Facebook.

(82,383 posts)either - they are just using them now. They aren't for social programs for those people anyway, so that comparison is hypocritical.

(24,472 posts)were brought to the country as children and born and raised here, never having a day in their home country. Why should they be punished with deportation now?

(45,626 posts)They mostly do not remember their country of origin.
They should not be deported, they should be given a quick path to citizenship as long as they meet the requirements.
