The Supreme Court delivered a Christmas present to Arizona DREAMers. You remember the DREAMers. This is one of the few cohorts of illegal immigrants who are actually innocent of wrongdoing since they were brought here as children by their parents. Although many DREAMers are reluctant to acknowledge this fact, it's the parents who did something wrong when they violated immigration law. But, in this country, we don't punish children for the sins of their parents. Instead, where it makes sense, we make accommodations. One such accommodation is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program by the Obama administration that allows undocumented youths to apply for a temporary reprieve from deportation and a two-year work permit.
