I do not think they should be deported

# data[].attributes.body
Cheap labor

# data[].attributes.body
We should allow them to stay and spread our love! We are an accepting country and we should stay this way. Although there are downsides, the improvement to the economy outweights it.

They should be deported

# data[].attributes.body
I think it should exist

# data[].attributes.body
I think there should be a reevaluation, but a law similar to DACA should exist.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that they should be allowed to stay as the cheaper labor makes prices stay low.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the people that are protected under the DACA program should continue to receive government protection but the rules that allow them to apply for DACA should me more strict

# data[].attributes.body
The DACA program should continue for the existing people covered, but it should be phased out for new immigrants. Illegal immigration should be discouraged but it is still wrong to punish those who had no choice in the matter. It can be argued that giving them hope just to take it away is the worst kind of punishment.

# data[].attributes.body
People who had no choice in coming here and have lived in America for long enough to build their lives here should not be deported. However, this should only be done for a certain time period so that parents do not think they can send their kids to America illegally. DACA also has sensible requirements in terms of requiring that the person be in school or have a degree.

# data[].attributes.body
Deportation is the only option for illegal immigrants in my opinion

# data[].attributes.body
They should be allowed to remain in the United States because they came here at a very young age and aren't familiar with their home country. By remaining in the United States, they can contribute to the economy and help it to grow, but forcing all 800,000 of them to leave can cause serious consequences to the economy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they should be able to stay in the United States. Even though DACA is unconstitutional and encourages illegal immigration, it's not fair to the people who were promised protection.

# data[].attributes.body
Irrelevant to our feelings on the people, law should be followed. Executive orders are not meant to counter checks and balances. Illegals are illegal, whether or not being forced into the status by their parents. If we allow for simply the children of the illegals to stay, it will influence more and more people to come. This sort of activity should not be condoned.

Beyond this, though there are plenty of hard working illegals, it ends up costing 120 trillion for supporting them through our programs, while they pay less than 10 in taxes.

I believe that the current DACA program embodies what is absolutely necessary in dealing with the Dreamers. I believe they should be allowed to stay, conduct lively matters, and go on with their lives. This is essential because it accounts for approximately 800,000 people contributing to the economy in some form. Removal of such a magnitude of individuals is a governmental deathwish inevitably leading to a downward spiral of the economy. In response to the argument that

# data[].attributes.body
Point: Becoming a US citizen means that they will be encouraged to start businesses, and to contribute to the US economy, as well as gaining new taxpayers.
Counter Point: It will encourage parents to bring their children to America.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: The children who came here did not do so on their own volition. They help contribute to the economy.

Counterpoint: It is unconstitutional, as President Obama passed DACA through executive action.

# data[].attributes.body
They serve as an effective form of labor for this country, and contribute positively to the economy.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: the kids didn't come here voluntarily so it's not fair to them

Counterpoint: DACA was passed unconstitutionally

Counterpoint: Obama started the program through executive action which is unconstitutional

I believe that the current DACA program embodies what is absolutely necessary in dealing with the Dreamers. I believe they should be allowed to stay, conduct lively matters, and go on with their lives. This doesn't mean that these individuals should be granted full citizenship for the simple reason that they entered the nation through illegal means and can not possibly be rewarded with the right to influence elections, etc. There is a just process to everything. On the other hand, DACA is essential because it accounts for approximately 800,000 people contributing to the economy in some form. Removal of such a magnitude of individuals is a governmental deathwish inevitably leading to a downward spiral of the economy. In response to the argument that DACA encouraging illegal immigration, it's a valid concern and I completely agree. In saying this I propose, a reformation of the current legislation/resources regarding the border security to prevent such occurrences from happening again.

# data[].attributes.body
Point - people who are eligible are mostly well-integrated into society already (have education) or have lived here their entire lives.

Counterpoint: the act should be passed by Congress formally, now that it has existed for a few years. The eligibility rules also seem slightly outdated, and should be continually updated.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: Lets them live permanently without letting any take backs of a visa.

Counterpoint: might go too far. Although we can sympathize with them and allow them to stay there is still a long line.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: The children protected by DACA came here without choice, and help the economy

Coutnerpoint: DACA was started unconstitutionally and allows illegal immigrants a pathway to legal citizenship

# data[].attributes.body
Pointe: The deferred action allows child immigrants to survive (both financially and emotionally) in the United States. It gives them the platform to live the American Dream even though they aren't "American" yet

Counterpointe: Obama's program is not supported by the Constitution and it will further encourage illegal immigration.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: Dreamers are helping the American economy. Some of them start their own business and some buy homes.

Counterpoint: Dreamers influence people in other countries to come to America illegally.

Why it shouldn't be allowed in current form

# data[].attributes.body
It is unconstitutional. This happens  because Obama did using executive action. Even if you support everything Obama did it sets a bad precedent as any future president could do anything

DACA signals to foreigners that there is a path to the "American Dream", even if they arrive here illegally.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: Young immigrants did not have a choice to come here, and they are contributing to the economy. Deporting these immigrants would be a severe detriment to the economy.

Counterpoint: The DACA program was started unconstitutionally (according to some critics) because President Obama created it without congressional approval. It encourages more illegal immigration as well.

# data[].attributes.body
For - Children were brought here and are usually good kids

Against - Nonetheless still illegals and the way DACA became instantiated is considered unconstitutional

# data[].attributes.body
Point:
5% started their first business
16% bought their first home.

Counterpoint:
Influences more people to come here illegally as that if you come to US illegally, you have ways to stay here.

# data[].attributes.body
Point: The Dreamers came to the US at a young age, and didn't have a choice in coming. They work, pay taxes, and contribute to the economy the same way legal citizens do, so they should be allowed to keep their residency and possibly become US citizens.

Counterpoint: The program itself is unconstitutional so the Dreamers shouldn't be in the US in the first place.

# data[].attributes.body
Eesha S. -

The kids didn't have a choice in coming to America, and they should not be held as criminals for something they had no say in. Either way, they are not given citizenship, but simply allowed to have jobs and live without fear. Also, without the dreamers, the US will lose as much as $1 trillion dollars in the workforce.
