Spin it as 'angry and screaming' all you want, it doesn't make them similar. I'd characterize the Dreamers as sad, scared, and disappointed before 'angry screaming'. Plenty of those who support them staying though are very, very angry. This doesn't make them wrong or stupid.
Well, there's your problem.

When someone equates "if this happens, my family will have to leave" as "threatening," you realize that logic has gone out the window, and political ideology and cognitive dissonance rule the day.
