Should the D.A.C.A. program be modified?

I am against the United states government extending or modifying the D.A.C.A. Program (the deferred action for childhood arrivals). The United states government has already begun to alter the D.A.C.A. program. A main reason why we must end the D.A.C.A. program is because we, as the general population, pay hundreds of millions to reunite many minors(some of which are uneducated) with their illegal parents in the US.

Although protecting illegal immigrants from consequences of violating the law may appear virtuous; if they get unto D.A.C.A., the incentives for law violating will increase on our border. Economists call this the moral hazard problem. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte states,"President Obama's refusal to enforce our immigration laws and decision to unilaterally create immigration programs encouraged more illegal immigration and contributed to the surge of unaccompanied minors and families seeking to enter the U.S. illegally." This discusses how D.A.C.A. actually encourages illegal immigration. Before Trump was even president, the D.A.C.A. program was still temporary and was likely to be removed anyway.

Although dissenters of this and the dreamers may state that it provides a possible path for citizenship for people that are illegal immigrants, despite having lived in america their whole lives, by D.A.C.A. protecting illegal immigrants they may be conveying the wrong message to our country; that they should,in fact, be offered the same rights as those who legally obtained them. It would decrease job opportunities and resources due to more people illegally coming to America. Also, the dream act requires an applicant to have an Associate’s degree in college. Statistics taken in 2014 reveal that only 10.5 million illegal immigrants out of 64.1 million Americans have college degrees. That merely accounts for 16% of American population and there are plethora of immigrants far beyond that. Therefore, I am against the United states government extending or modifying the D.A.C.A. program.
