The spirit of the law is the letter of the law...Laws are written to protect the best interest of the public be that city,county,state, country. To say the children of parents who brought them into the country is no fault of their own is true statement...however that is akin to saying drugs were brought into the country through no fault of their own...smugglers brought them into the country... so illegal drugs get a pass?
We have immigration laws for a reason, to maintain our Sovereignty...no ands,ifs or buts about it!
This is not to say compassion should be ignored...compassion also applies to the citizens of a sovereign nation... a government that gives compassion to the children of illegal entry...and shows no compassion for it's citizens best interest is doomed to fail and ceases to be a sovereign nation. Just a fact!
If the government of Mexico would be more concerned and compassionate to their citizens and provide for their needs they would not be illegally entering the United States of America but would stay home and contribute to their own countries prosperity... in other words make Mexico Great Again!

Republicans Seek Legislative Solution To DACA As Carlson Warns Of Price To Be Paid
“I do not favor punishing children for the actions of their parents.”As President Donald Trump appears poised to phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that shelters the children of illegal immigrants, a vast political dance is taking place as Republicans at all levels of government prepare for the political ramifications of Trump’s expected action.
Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III, a Republican, announced Friday that Tennessee is dropping out of a 10-state coalition that has threatened a lawsuit to abolish DACA, which allows children of illegal immigrants to be safe from deportation, and provides them with work permits that are renewed every two years.
“At this time, our office has decided not to challenge DACA in the litigation, because we believe there is a better approach,” Slatery said.
Although Slatery said he thinks the case against DACA would succeed in court, Tennessee now favors a legislative solution to the issue.
Slatery pointed to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, first presented by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
“Whether this particular legislation is a viable solution is a matter for congressional debate,” Slatery said. “It is not a comprehensive answer to our immigration policy challenges, but it would be a very good start.”
Republican Florida Gov. Rick Scott also said Congress needs to resolve the issue, and that DACA’s flaw is not what it does as much as the fact that it was created through an executive order issued by former President Barack Obama.
“He should have done it in conjunction with Congress, which is how we make laws in our democracy,” Scott said in a statement Friday. “But this issue must be addressed. I do not favor punishing children for the actions of their parents.”
“These kids must be allowed to pursue the American Dream, and Congress must act on this immediately,” he said.
So far, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., has come out urging Trump not to phase out DACA, as have other Capitol Hill lawmakers
A Congressional solution that preserves DACA in some form would likely run into the kind of opposition showed by Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Friday.
Carlson noted that Trump campaigned on getting rid of DACA, and that Republicans who now sing a different tune will face a political reckoning.
He said Republicans in Washington have shown that “their campaign pledges were lies” and that “their chief interest is in protecting the tiny donor class that funds their campaigns.”
“When a bunch of Republicans are crushed in next fall’s congressional elections, they will try to blame the president. It might have been easier to just listen to the president’s voters,” he said.
