He and his family "escaped" here in the US when they were very young. oldest was 10 by the mother. now this fellow worked in a factory. worked OT. paid federal income tax and social sec. which pay for us retired folks. but he will never see SS. he will only get refunds when or if he spends several thousands of dollars for a layer just to get a drivers licence. oh yes he gets finger printed also. do you want your finger prints on file??? so now all of you can be real happy as he will b deported at 24. no money no phone just a nap sack of cloths. dropped off by bus in tijuana. as all think "he's young he'll get a job". yea working for oh 20% of what he made in the US. yea just a drop in the bucket for taxes etc.. yea will not see his mother, sister brothers and his little brother and sister born here in the US.
he did not climb a wall. did not use a tunnel he had no choice.

I'm lost. Someone here illegally gets a DWI while having no license to drive, so has to spend time in detention. No tv or internet for 3 months. I had worse punishments from my parents for doing less.
You think there's something wrong with being fingerprinted? Everyone who has gotten a DWI is fingerprinted. Big deal. That's the price you pay for drunk driving (and plenty of other reasons).
He paid maybe $100/month in taxes for a few years? That's the least he could do to pay for living here. Adding maybe $3,600 to the SS account for the privilege of living here isn't some kind of indebtedness we owe to this man as you think.
I'm sympathetic to the so-called dreamers (their defenders say they had no choice to be here, so they can't have come here due to their "Dream"), but I get frustrated by the lack of holding the parents responsible for the situation they find themselves in.
What did this man do in 15 or 20 years to try to be here legally?
