I have talked to some of them, and they say: It was great for me. And some of them think that amnesty for another group of people is all right. But if the law means nothing to someone and they violate the law, or it is an obstruction and they slip around that law, or, as we have today, some number that is 750,000 to 800,000 DACA recipients, they are demanding that we grant them amnesty. Illegal aliens came here to the Capitol, right out here on the grass, 2 weeks ago, on a Monday, gathering around, demanding that Congress grant them amnesty. Now, how do you go to a foreign country and be unlawfully present in that country and you go protest to the government that they should ignore their own laws because you have something that you want that you slipped across the border to have access to? And I do not buy the idea that most of these DACA recipients are kids. The average age is 23. Some of them go all the way up to 37.
