What's the net economic impact of DACA?

Well, they aren't being helped, they are being ****ed for doing the right thing. The legal thing. The admirable thing.
It isn't a fast food worker vs. a hospital worker scenario.
It's two fast food workers, both getting paid $15 an hour. Except, one worker spits on the burgers. And you have made the spitter a manager, because you think you have compassion.
And then, to add insult to injury, you are telling the other guy, the one who is just working hard and doing his job correctly, "Yo, just keep working harder bro! Something is coming for you!"
So without the DACA EO, The freedom caucus would've signed on to the comprehensive immigration reform bill of '13?
i am not saying they are or aren't being helped
i am saying, help them make it easier for them too
i was saying your scenario reminds me of the wage debate when someone says "what about these people over here" instead of staying on the topic
Might've been ****ty and vote-pandering, but its legality hasn't been fully judged.
And I blame a purposefully intractable Republican Congress for the EO as much as the former President; it reeks of something most mainstream Republicans were fine implementing, but—due to pressure from more extreme elements of their constituency—didn't want to be seen officially voting "for" it. (The half-assed healthcare overhaul under Obama falls in this category, as well.)
i am totally on board helping illegal aliens who came here when they were 6 years old etc when their parents brought them here and know no other country except this one
the rest is political bull**** in my view
priority? this isn't a triage scenario where we have to pick and choose one or the other.
That's true, but the consensus was that it wouldn't pass legal muster. Which makes Trump's decision here all the more mystifying, to me. Courts were literally days from taking it up.
The problem with the EO is that DACA likely wouldn't have ever been passed as a standalone bill. Previous iterations of legislation that included DACA also included border security concessions and new visa classes.
No, I'm comparing people who were LEGALLY transported to the US as minors, who are faced with H1B/OPT regulations, fees, and a ****ing LOTTERY, with people who were ILLEGALLY transported to the US as minors, who are gifted a work permit in exchange for paying $500 every two years.
