Dreamers are the same. They made no decisions. They were brought to USA as kids. It's the only country they know. They have committed no crimes.
If I discovered I wasn't born in USA but outside of it and I was brought here before I could remember things, that changes nothing about me. USA would still be the only country I know. To ship me to another country where I have no contacts, no connections, and can't speak the language would be pointless cruelty. That sort of cruelty is appropriate for future serial killers, not for public servants.
In this country I can be a useful, productive person. In some other country I am helpless. It's insane to deport.
