I keep changing "lived her" to "lived here" in my above post, but the entry continues to show "lived her".

I have a question, motivated by curiousity, and compassion/concern. Why are only young people eligible for Dreamers? From a FAIRNESS perspective, I'd think older people are AT LEAST as justified. If a person arrived as a child, and has lived her for 50 years, isn't she at least as "valid" as someone who arrived as a child, and has lived here for 20 years? Or are older people "protected" by some other law? In terms of economics, I understand that an older person (unless of a very "skilled" profession, such as doctor or engineer) is less productive and more of a burden. Is that the justification for the age limitation?
