It seems rather ironic that democrat say that DACA children shouldn't have to pay for the crimes of their parents.

Yet these same democrats claim that white people of today should be held responsible for the actions of some one and a half centuries ago!!!

Any democrat care to explain that????

Jim crow didn't happen one and a half centuries ago. It happened for the one and a half centuries since.

Any actual 'logical ones' out there that can provide context of a person saying DACA children are not responsible for their parent's crime and that same person saying white people are responsible for unnamed actions of the past?

And no white person of today is responsible for what happened 155 years ago and before. It would seem democrats of today are still mad that Lincoln a Republican freed the slaves. Shortly there after democrats invented the KKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It is inaccurate to say all Democrats support reparations for slavery. Repesentative Sheila Jackson Lee has proposed a bill to "study" the issue and many candidates support that, but no one is suggesting a plan for reparations. It would be hard to determine who might qualify for a cash payout. People would have to show their ancestry dates back to the slave trade. That alone would be very tough to demonstrate. It's a non-starter for that reason. It's clear people of color are persistently economically worse off than so-called white people. The reasons are complex, but no doubt part of it is discrimination.

The whole concept of Reparations is punishing today's Americans for what Democrats did 150 yrs ago.

Are children responsible for the crimes of their parents?

And that's exactly what it's meant to do...
It's a cheap political pandering gimmick.

You can always count on hysterics and mountains out of molehills from our friends on the right. They thrive on it.

Except for the tiny detail that no plans for reparations exist.

That's a moot point especially since leftists in my country are bringing it up in order to pander for votes.

Why do you continue to spread that propaganda?

Anyone that went to an actual school knows the parties switched ideologies In the sixties, before that you may as well switch names.

BTW what ever happened to the log cabin Republicans???

Another poorly educated American. Democrats embrace the liberalism of Lincoln and the liberalism of other Republicans of his time and reject the reactionary policies of Democrats of that era. They would be Republicans today if the parties hadn't done an about face in the 20th Century with Democrats becoming the liberal party and Republicans the conservative party. Why do you suppose the South was solidly Democrat during and following Reconstruction but is now almost solidly Republican?

Basic American political history

Yes a Republican got the the slaves freed but the Republicans segregated black folks, opposed civil rights and oppressed them economically.
