Perhaps the Democrats should look at ways to improve the home countries of illegals so that the dreamers and their parents will want to go back of their own accord, and stay there. Part of the reason people come to this country illegally is because of the poor economic and social conditions in their home countries.  Another part is the jobs and benefits provided to them in this country.  Surely those jobs and benefits should go to people in this country legally, the benefits to those here legally who are working or have worked and are paying or have paid taxes. In many jurisdictions illegal immigrants don't have to report financial resources even though many have them to receive benefits while those here legally are sometimes counseled to spend down their financial resources to qualify. Surely no one thinks that is just.
