Poll - Total Votes: 15
she should have taken her kid with her before crossing back
no one should ever be put in the position she was put in .
illegals are illegals / she does not belong here until she legally does
I am not American and your country is so messed up to even have this situation
DACA should be given residency in most cases this is non-needed red tape
she is very brave and made a very difficult decision
this video made me cry (or tear up )
Other please elaborate

In the USA DACA (called dreamers) are illegal immigrants that came over to the USA with their family when they were young . Often before the age of 10.

Our government has gone back and forth on giving them legal residency in the USA or kicking the out as illegals.

The video below gives a personal story of a mom who left her legal son in the USA to go backto mexico to get the passport stamp giving her a better status with US immigration but does not guarantee of future deportation.

I kept this as neutral as possible not addressing party lines or ideologies. You are welcome to assert your party lines and ideologies in the comments.

May I ask what country you are from and your thoughts on this? the news source for the record is really neutral --just one mothers personal story of DACA and advance parole.

Apart from the video being absolutely heartbreaking, the problem as I see it is that the process of becoming a citizen legally as far too complex, time-consuming, and generally difficult. I get the need to screen for terrorists, criminals, and so forth, but somebody who's been in the country since they were 6 months old? How the hell is he a threat? And why the hell should a child who is a legal citizen suffer because their parent committed a misdemeanor?

Yeah. A misdemeanor. Crossing the border illegally is still only a misdemeanor, and people are talking about setting up detention camps for people who've done it. That's how insane the conversation has become.
