DACA issue not that hard to solve

After spending a considerable amount of time (about 30 minutes), I may have come up with a solution to the DACA situation that should satisfy both Republicans and Democrats:

■ All DACA individuals must register with the federal government in order to avoid deportation. Any DACA person who does not register will be subject to deportation upon apprehension.

■ All DACA registrants will be given a number that can be used to obtain a driver’s license, work permit and medical services. If currently in school, that person can remain in that education facility.

■ No DACA person will be allowed to become an American citizen unless that individual returns to the parents’ home country and applies for U.S. citizenship in the same manner that any other citizen of that country should have to do.

■ No DACA person will be allowed to vote in any national, state or local election.

■ Unless disabled, no DACA person will be eligible for welfare benefits.

Please rush this plan to Republican and Democratic leadership so they can work on the minor details. I doubt that any unelected judge will find any aspect of these proposals unconstitutional.

These so-called CBO budget experts, if in the private sector, would be put out on the streets for their incompetence.

LETTER: Just sign here

Isn’t it fascinating that signatures are excruciatingly validated and litigated when it comes to appearing on the ballot, but ignored once the actual voting takes place?

LETTER: Investing in news

Review-Journal interns offer hope.

LETTER: Glass houses

Both sides of the road are filled with potholes of corruption.

LETTER: Trump owes an apology

Trump has never conceded. There is no proof that the election was illegitimate or voter fraud was an issue. Where is his and his party’s apology?
