... Any journalist who has covered DACA or "Dreamer" events in recent years has witnessed the same behavior. The activists behave as if they are entitled to amnesty.

They threaten Republicans with political "extinction." They hound Democrats who do not bow to their whims. They address crowds in Spanish and shout "Viva Mexico!"

That is not the behavior of people who are just like every other American except for the accident of foreign birth. In fact, the only Americans that the DACA activists resemble are the "college crybullies" who throw violent tantrums when conservatives show up on campus and demand "safe spaces" where they never face opposing views. Many DACA activists openly support notions of "Brown Power." Their real "dream" is reclaiming California for Mexico. ...

As such, the best case against legalizing DACA is the behavior of the DACA beneficiaries themselves.

They show no respect for democracy or the legislative process. They declare America to be racist and unjust even as they demand the "right" to become American citizens. They are guests in the country, but they act as if their demands are more important than the urgent needs of American citizens and legal immigrants. ...

Personally, I was once open to legalizing DACA in return for a border wall (first), and other provisions.

But the DACA "kids" have convinced me that we should only consider legalization on a case-by-case basis, if at all.

If we reward their tactics, we will not acquire new countrymen, but new bullies.
