I don't think they have one, honestly. These jackalfucks are out to make an insane statement. Everyone who was concerned should have just run. Just under 2 months left.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I sympathise with people who want to be here, but DACA is just an executive order that already has shaky legal grounds. It was a temporary pause in deportations to allow congress to pass a law that provides a path towards legal status for people who entered without permission, it's not meant to be a permanent status. Any president can reverse it. Congress can override the president and try to nullify it by passing a law to reverse DACA as part of an omnibus budget bill that will probably pass with 2/3 majority to override the president's veto, especially if government shutdowns and the threat of defaulting on debts is on the table. And not to mention, the supreme court can shut it down. And there's no guarantee that even a liberal majority supreme court would let it become de facto law for over a decade.
This issue is: its either gonna [A] get addressed by congress as a law, or [B] its eventually getting reversed one way or another. And since congress doesn't want to deal with it, DACA is doomed to fail and get reversed. Democrats cant win elections forever, all it takes is one republican administration to tear it down.
Just a reminder to folks who are sympathizing but hesitant, DACA are people brought over as minors. They did not have any decision making in coming here legally or not and largely haven't grown up outside the US. They are Americans, plain and simple. Regardless of the legal system at play here, morally and ethically they belong in their home in the US. We need to fight the idea of deportation being acceptable here (and broadly as well). Please stand up for your neighbors!
Yea well I'm not a rich or influential person so there nothing I could do about it. Like the best I can do is not report anyone that I know is undocumented, I can't stop everyone else from reporting them.
And also I'm one person, I cannot fight a squad of ICE agents.
Definitely not expecting you alone to solve this issue! I am speaking generally to anyone reading to be aware of the tangible effects of these policy decisions on actual people who, under even pretty strict definitions, didn't do anything wrong.
The solution to feeling powerless as an individual, btw, is to find like-minded people and organize! In 2017 people came together to stop ICE agents in airports, on Greyhound busses, and more. No one is asking folks to be John Wick.
