Everyone wants that. But you have to follow the procedures. It's not their fault but we need to stop enabling the dumb parents for abusing such.

Those who are waiting in line, what makes them less privilleged to get here than those "Dreamers"?

I mean for fuck's sakes. My mother left us in 2006.  My father and I waited for years to properly enter. Sadly though, he died of cancer before we even got approved. I was the only one that got in. 

Can someone tell me with a fucking straight face now that I am less privilleged. That I am expected to follow the system while others have complete disregard of it and are given special treatment. 

We missed a lot of years of potential Christmas celebrations with our family members. I didn't have a god damn last christmas nor a fucking conversation with my cousin before he comitted suicide. My father did not make it to recieve treatment for his cancer because the dates weren't current.  Seriously where's our fucking rights then? Am I lesser compared to them? Is this not injustice?

Before someone fights for their rights, will no one fight for mine? A legal immigrant who followed the system and went through hell equally as worse as the other? 

Any special treatment given to them makes me feel robbed. And nobody can give me back those 10 years. The only peace I can get from this is to have such enabling laws that entice illegals to come in and be previlleged while they enjoy welfare bullshit that us legal residents and taxpayers shoulder. WE FUCKING NEED REFORM AND CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED ON.

I would think having gone through that you wouldn't want others to go through the same. What, is having other people suffer and have their families torn apart going bring you some satisfaction? Like I understand you're upset, but I don't understand why you would want others to go through that same process, just seems petty to me. 

Odds are even for Trump, these people will be allowed to stay because even on the Republican side and even from Trump himself I think there is fair amount of pressure to not do something rash. That's why they've extended the deadline to 6 months, so that congress will be able to come up with a way to allow these people to stay legally.

Legalize them. Period. Anything short of that is going to be an ugly chapter in US history and there will be a reckoning coming for Republicans in the long run if they think they can keep alienating the Hispanic population forever. If they brand themselves with that image, they are going to pay for it in future elections. 

His personal example I would think of as more like a kidney transplant victim dying because they are too low down in the line, yet someone who just found out they need a transplant jumped them in line because they had money/connections, or some other fishy/illegal method.

America like anything else is not limitless in its resources. We can't take in and feed/house/work, take care of every refugee, alien, immigrant, ect in the entire world. So you need some sort of a legal and fair way to bring in people. So iron_megalith and many other legal immigrants should feel upset when they do things the right and legal way and others bypass the system.
