No DACA recipient wants to stay in status limbo forever. They want a path towards citizenship.

It’s a half measure that is still so much better than literally nothing.
We can acknowledge wins and still expect better. This country has had amnesties before, at the very least they could do it again to clear backlogs.

oh wait... 800,000 people enrolled in the program is nobody?
>I strongly believe that children who were illegally brought into this country through no fault of their own should not be forced to return to a country they do not know. The 800,000 innocent young people granted deferred action under DACA over the last several years are pursuing degrees, starting careers, and contributing to our communities in important ways. While I disagreed with President Obama's unilateral action on this issue, I believe that rescinding DACA at this time is an unacceptable reversal of the promises and opportunities that have been conferred to these individuals.

I said they don’t want to stay in permanent DACA status. I never said they refuse DACA outright.
