It's not like it was any of their fault: they were brought here as children. Have some empathy

Obama placed these people in the front of the USCIS line; in front of US citizens. That's whack. Having "empathy" for illegal aliens should not cost me another 6 months without my loved ones.

I have a lot of empathy for the DACA filers. I put the blame entirely on the shoulders of the USCIS who should be able to do their job properly. My 16 months of being without my husband for my "immediately available" IR1 spousal visa, however, make me look at this news with a feeling of dread for the K/CR/IR filers for the end of this year.

So if my parents robbed a bank when I was a kid, and build a mansion with the money, I should be allowed to use it still, because that is all I know and it wasn't my fault, and I shouldn't pay for my parents' mistakes?

Yep, exactly. Heh, I'm just joking around, DACA annoys me too.

I've been here for almost 9 years! My life is here, my friends are here and I have had the privilege of marrying an amazing guy. Why don't I get to argue that for a free pass as well?! Sorry, but this isn't about emphaty, it's about equality. Nobody has emphaty for those like me *mumble, grumble*

Edit reason: typo. Should just go to sleep now...

As for myself, (Me, myself, I) I have ZERO empathy. I'm unable to and haven't "walked a mile in their shoes" nor can I say I've "been there".

I have very little sympathy as DACA has clearly affected those of us who have/are trying to do things the legal and proper way. Just MHO.

The immigration process may be delaying your loved ones from coming here, but what exactly is preventing you from visiting your loved ones? Certainly not USCIS.

The same argument can be made about DACA beneficiaries. What exactly is preventing them from visiting their loved ones? USCIS may not allow them back in....but certainly not preventing them from leaving!

True, I just thought most DACA people came in when their entire family immigrated (um, illegally). Or at least, that's what seemed most feasible to me. Upon reading the USCIS page though, nothing about that is mentioned...
