Don't kid yourself. The moderate Republicans are being primaried from their left for 2018. By rafts of Democrats. Either way it looks good for moderates.
They receive a work permit after being approved for DACA. This also allows them to obtain an SSN, which is also their tax identification number.
I have no idea what makes you think that. In reality, the budgets for border security have risen dramatically over the last few decades. E.g., the US border partrol budget has increased tenfold since 1990. See e.g. here:
https://www.americanimmigrationcoun...f-immigration-enforcement-and-border-security
Besides, these days there are more visa overstays than "fence jumpers", so even perfect border security would not solve the issue.

Who? I have never heard anyone advocate weaker border security. Usually when someone talks about "open borders" they are talking about trade policies and similar things, not border security.
1) You cannot have worked with enough people to pass judgement about the million Americans who are undocumented
2) How does someone have a home or apartment and buy food without paying state and local taxes?

That's ok - I'm trying to figure out how you could think that the conquering of Native American tribes and purchase of land in the US from other countries that laid previous claim to it has a whole lot to do with present US citizenship. Lands all over the world are occupied by those that took the land, in one form or another, from someone else. They, just like the US, can still have "citizenship"."has zero to do with" ...
I'm trying to figure out how you could think that. Damn we need to teach better history in our schools.
Legal immigrant checking in! 10 f'n years of paperwork, lawyers, interviews, thousands of $$$...
TO THE BACK OF THE LINE! Get the 'F' out! You're not getting any sympathy from me.

It will be the opposite - the obstructionists will be pushed out. 2018-2020 onwards will be even more Trumpist than now. And let's now talk about the Democratic bloodbath in the Senate...
Wish we would have declined you.
There is a difference between illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. You best learn it.
The children of illegal immigrants are the key to our discussion. Technically, they are here as a result of an illegal action, but they have committed no crimes.
You're welcome to explain to me the link between some of the Indian wars of the 1800's and President Obama's decision to limit prosecutorial discretion to allow so "Dreamers" in this country even though they aren't citizens."has zero to do with" ...

If you're saying "but but but....white Europeans displaced indigenous peoples" and that makes 200 years ago relevant to this DACA discussion, perhaps your education was deficient.
Is that the best you can do? Another one with sensitive feelings.
Even for a right wing person, your response to the current predicament is deplorable and not characteristic of American values.
Dreamers aren't like you. They have lived here their whole lives.
I do, but ok? Seems to me you're now way off the original topic we were discussing so I think it's best we leave it here.
Right wing lol - indentity politics again. This ain't a right or left issue.

Funny how democrats ignore their history.
Just my 2 cents:
First of all for those that keep up with the argument, the country voted Trump as our president....yes OUR president. I didn't vote for Obama, but he was still my president whether I liked it or not, and as I and others like me did for 8 years....deal with it. You will find wrong with whatever he does....but somehow he continually comes out on top so far. Anybody notice there isn't much talk of Russia these days? The people that voted for him are those hard working blue collar workers with kids, mortgages and car payments who got a little sick of our jobs and economy being shipped overseas. They don't really care all that much about the Paris Accord (Shoved down our throats) or Russia, or the illegal immigrants now with sugarcoated names like "Dreamers". We just want our country back a stable job, a little interest on our savings, and a little more of our hard earned cash back in our pockets after Obama lifted the Tax cuts that we the middle class kind of counted on after our health insurance went from the cost of a car payment to the cost of a mortgage.
DACA was just another part of the previous administrations agenda shoved down our throat. It was not legislation, it was kicking yet another can down the road with an issue that would have to be dealt with one way or another. This is the problem with a president that decides to handle his entire agenda through Executive order rather than through the system in place....the next administration can undo it all, Obama is 100% to blame for the way he pushed through and ignored the constitution. Trump could had shut it down immediately, he didn't. He gave it to Congress, just as he gave them the broken Obamacare, and Tax reform. Unfortunately our House is thoroughly confused at this prospect and idea that they have to work. They are utterly befuddled by the fact that it is so transparent now how inept they are. We should all thank Trump for exposing them for what they are and the complete and total lack of any ability to get things done.
As far as the Dreamers? The average age they say of Dreamers is 25. Is there any particular reason why they could not had put in the paperwork for the correct path to citizenship? They obviously know their being here is illegal, or they wouldn't be so nervous right now. Do they also not realize there is paperwork they can fill out now to get legal Visa's and Green Cards so they could get in the system and do things the right way? Or do we just need to listen to the media and cry for them rather than hold anybody accountable for their inactions? There is a whole slew of people that did get in through the legal system the legal way that agrees with me here.

Have you read any historical text ever?

Good point. Punishing people for crimes they didn't commit is not partisan, and yet you have so much trouble understanding the problem with exporting people who have committed no crime.
Destroy? LOL, so hyperbolic. They are already here and have been.
What people that say that really mean, is that they might become democrat voters and destroy the chances of right wing policies being enacted. Although, at the rate that Trump and the GOP is going, that's going to happen anyway.
It's an arbitrary process though. Its not like the first European settlers of what would later become the United States had to go through Native American immigration procedures. No. Instead they just slaughtered the indigenous people and stole their land. Then fought a few other countries for the land, then broke away from England to form their own country and set up arbitrary immigration policies for what had really been other people's land.
If you look up the history of why the Ku Klux Klan even existed was very political democrats trying to shut down republicans that wanted to abolish slavery. Absolute fact.
And as far as punishing people for crimes they didn't commit? Just being here is their crime.....again I ask, why haven't they done the paperwork?
Completely unrelated to anything I said, but hey, you're the self proclaimed "christ" lol, I'd expect nothing less than a long story about nothingness in order for him and his followers to feel better about themselves.
Democrats and Republicans swapped political standing (at the latest) during the Roosevelt administration. I, as a progressive, align more closely to Lincoln-era republicans.
I'm not sure why this is so hard for you. Beneficiaries of DACA were children when they came here. They had no other choice and were taken here against their own will. They have committed no crime.
Nope, I probably wasn't that good at my job, but I retired at age 30, so I'd say who cares if I was good at my job? Trump wasn't very good at most of his jobs, and he didn't turn out so bad, worth billions and the President of the United States. So hey, you stick to doing good at your $40k a year job, maybe some day you can retire.
