‘Dreamers’ did nothing wrong

-

Letter writer Stephen Lisak certainly showed no empathy for Dreamers in his Friday letter “‘Dreamer’ illegal despite outcry.” He equated them with criminals, in his analogy, “If your parents robbed a bank, should you get to spend the money?” I think a much more appropriat­e analogy would be “If your parents robbed a bank, should the children go to jail too?” Of course not!

Dreamers are not criminals, and should not be made to pay for the sins of their parents.
