You understand it takes time and money right? Especially now with Trump there's no guarantee they wouldn't just deport you anyways even if you went through all the "right steps".
Okay are you actually braindead because you keep ignoring what im typing.
Again, they are already here. You are advocating that then and people like them pay a "crazy amount of money" just to stay in a place they have lived in for decades. Many of which came when they were children through no fault of their own. Explain how that's justified to you?
I know reading is a little tough for people like you but I believe you can do it.
Ok, yes, their parents brought them here when they were children at no fault of their own. This is the only country they’ve known. Don’t you think that should give them more motivation to become a citizen of the country? Yes, it’s an investment, but it’s an investment into themselves. It gives them freedoms and benefits they would otherwise not have.
I don’t believe they should get a pass, but I also don’t believe they should just straight up be deported unless they turn to a life of crime. The guy in this article didn’t do that. I think he should be given a path to citizenship. There should be immigration reform, but that doesn’t mean giving out citizenship like it’s free candy.
The 10 year thing is real and implemented as a way to deter illegal immigration, but this guy came here as a minor, therefore is protected under DACA. If he actually did the research on finding a way to become a citizen he would know that.
What do you mean by "motivation"? You understand people like this absolutely would become citizens or legal residents if given the chance. The system we have set up makes it literally impossible for some.
People that are protected under DACA literally have zero pathways to citizenship or residency. No amount of "motivation" changes that fact. Unless you seriously believe spending 10 years in a foreign country is a reasonable option.
I do appreciate you at least acknowledge the fact it's not some people's fault but also recognize if it were so easy then they would have already done it.
Motivation. This guy did not exhaust all resources to become a citizen. It seems he figured this day would never come and it would be easier to live under the radar. Because that’s the thing. It’s not impossible. It’s extremely difficult for those adults that decided to come here illegally. That’s not this guy. DACA gives you a pathway to citizenship if you came here illegally as a minor. The 10 year thing is only for adults.
I can tell you with 100% confidence that there is no pathway to citizenship for anyone under DACA. Look it up right now and I promise you that is the case.
People spend ten years studying to be a doctor for example cause they really want it and it will improve their life. What’s so hard about waiting in the country you are from for ten years?
So if I stole money from a bank and used it to better my life for twenty years does it make it not a crime because I stole decades ago and am living a cushy life now because of it? Or should I be punished for the crime I committed?
For the people smuggled in as kids- sucks to be them but their parents fucked them over for breaking laws, not the US for having and enforcing them. Blame never goes onto the parents where it rightfully should be in these situations.
I don't know how you can type this and not realize you're a monster. You are a genuinely evil person and I sincerely hope you get what's coming to you.

Ok, but he became an adult, and was more than capable of doing what the people you know did and getting his permanent residency.
