Compromise on DACA

Dear Editor: The DACAns/Dreamers should get a long, crime free path to citizenship in exchange for all the things which will prevent the problem from re-occurring: the Wall, mandatory e-verify, stiffer penalties for overstaying visas, and elimination of birthright citizenship. Those here illegally, or on visitor, student, temporary worker, diplomatic, etc. visas should not be able to produce American citizens.

It’s time to define and implement the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment.

For DACAns who served in the military, the path to citizenship should be shorter. However, we need to make sure that our military does not become mercenaries. We should not be selling green cards to “investors.”
