Q: I'm a confused person, a xenophobe and/or Trump supporter (or a combo of all three). Why should I care about these DACA kids?
A: Because we are talking about children who, through no fault of their own, were raised as patriotic Americans in the only country they've ever known. Only a heartless super cunt would think it's morally acceptable to send them to a place they have no ties to.
