Seems to me the DACA kids are being used as hostages in a bizarre game

where the Repubs will be using them as bargaining chips to put in their agenda.
Sadly, Repubs do not know what their agenda is.

They are also a group that must pay for Obama's existence as Republicans try to erase any trace of Obama's presidency.
Repubs could actually care less about "illegals" - after all weren't many of the parents lured into this country to be used as cheap labor and to undercut union labor?

So the children end up being hostages in a bizarre game where their parents tried to make a life for themselves and their kids. Now the Repubs can entertain their base by injecting terror into the lives of the DACA children by threatening to send them away from the only country most have ever known.
