DACA: Become citizens

| September 13, 2017 1:00 AM

Maybe the solution to the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is to require USA citizenship through the usual process. Once each is a citizen, he/she will receive the privileges of citizenship: voting, taxation, a voice with other citizens, and all the rights and importance of being a member of our great country. (See Amendments 14 and 15.) If citizenship is negated by each, then they should return to their country of origin so U.S. citizens do not have to support their lifestyle. Why would each not want to become a citizen, especially since they do not want to be deported?
