The Dreamers.

Let's assume that you want to throw the book at illegal immigrants. I do think that is ill-advised, but there is some minor justification in that "they broke the law!". Though, again, I think we need them, so legalization is a better long term plan.
But.
The so-called Dreamers. They came here as children. Children. They were not responsible for being here. They did nothing wrong, and if the data on them as a group is anything to go by, they are doing a lot of things right, as adults, and young adults.
This is flat out stupid and ridiculous. Continue DACA or, even better, give it up, and just grant them US citizenship.
The man truly is putrid scum, and Jeff Sessions is no better.
