Dissolving DACA According to several sources, such as Fox 9 and the Minneapolis Star Tribune, fifthteen states, including Minnesota, are suing the Trump administration over the decision to disband the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. This organization helps almost 800,000 children of illegal immigrants to obtain jobs, buy homes, start families, join the military, and so on. Therefore, since DACA was dissolved, major conflicts are erupting within the political system. The Trump administration is the governing body which is putting forth the decision for states to dissolve DACA. In this conflict, one say see how state and the federal government are conflicting against each other. The lawsuit that was filed states that “the Trump administration has violated the Constitution and the Federal Law.” This violates the law by failing to give a notice, or letting the public having a say in the matter. Also, a legal justification was not given, and sensitive information the participants were exposed. Thankfully, there is legal representation on both sides, in order to properly sort out this matter. (As you like to say, “This is good stuff!) …show more content…
Statistic show that ninety-seven percent of DACA members are either in school or the workforce - thanks to this organization. In addition, DACA members will also lose their work permits; therefore, their employer's health benefits as well. The effect will add an increase to the state’s health care cost, which is already expensive. Minnesota will lose about $376.7 million dollars in annual GDP, and an estimated $6.9 million in taxes when people leave the workforce. I believe these facts add up to why disbanding this organization would be bad thing not only for it’s recipients, but also for the entire state and the it’s residents. In the end, one must trust that the Rule of Law will work out for the best interest of
Overall, the author covers the scope of the argumentative issue thoroughly. It is an interesting problem because “rescinding DACA” is one of the most controversial topics that have been arisen since Trump became the president.
Facts of the Case- In March 2010, there came about multiple lawsuits that were merged into one case shortly after Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare (National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius). With the passing of this act it required U.S. citizen who did not already have health care through Medicaid, Medicare, corporate, or any government-sponsored source to get health care. Citizens who did not have any of the mentioned healthcare sources would be forced into buying into the federally funded healthcare. If they did not buy into the healthcare, there would be a strict penalty
As he pointed in a statement released by the White House, “DACA is an unconstitutional exercise of authority; failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence and terrorism.” (The New York Times) The controversy between legal status and who are considered citizens of the United States only demonstrates the flaws and complexity of the US constitution. Politicians have been taken advantage of the mistakes portrayed in the constitution as a way to manipulate laws and actions from a racist point view as we are
America has long since been hailed the “Great Melting Pot” where people from all over the world, with differing ideologies, cultures, and languages all come together to seek a better life for themselves. Now more than ever, hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into this country, seeking better lives, and if they are actively contributing to society, who are we to say they can't stay, in a country founded by immigrants. According to The Center for American Progress, “Unless we act now to preserve the DACA program, all 780,000 hard working young people will lose their ability to work legally in this country, and every one of them will be at immediate risk of deportation. Our economy would lose $460.3 billion from the national GDP and $24.6 billion in Social Security and Medicare tax contributions.” This colossal loss to the economy could be easily averted. Immigrants provide so much for this country already, and deporting nearly 800,000 people, on top of being enormously expensive, does nothing but hurt our own economy and small business across the country. In addition to slowing down our own economy, we would be causing harm to innocent people just trying to support themselves and
It was his decision to announce, on September 5, that his administration would be winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a program he didn’t mention outright, that many people didn’t know about and even fewer understood. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which has protected nearly 800,000 young adult unauthorized immigrants from deportation and allowed them to work legally since 2012. The immigrants protected through DACA grew up in the US; people might not assume they are unauthorized immigrants, and they might not have even known it themselves until they were teenagers. The program was supposed to give them a chance to build a life here. Now, DACA is on the chopping block. Trump, under pressure to make a decision about it’s future before September 5 (the day a group of Republican state officials were set to sue over its constitutionality), has decided that no one new will be protected under the program and that those currently covered will start to lose
The cancellation of Daca is affecting many young students.They rely on it. Support themselves in the future, and to have good education/jobs, things most people don't have an opportunity of doing. Daca has improved the lives of undocumented people in so many ways. The Daca program protects people that are under the program from being deported. It can also help you get jobs and pursue educational opportunities.
President Donald Trump has stated that DACA is being eliminated because it is unconstitutional. Grizzlies who are DACA are afraid that going to college will cease to be an option since most do not have money to pay for college themselves.
According to CNN, on September 5, US Attorney General Jefferson Sessions gradually terminated Mr. Obama’s policy of “Dreamers”, which is DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and will be completely terminated in six months. This policy was introduced in 2012 to allow illegal immigrants who, under 16 years old enter the United States to apply for two-year repatriation and to allow them to apply for a work permit. As this policy allows renewal, it essentially allows illegal immigrant children to live permanently in the US. Based on DACA benefits for thousands of children, I think the government should keep DACA because terminating the policy and evading nearly a million young people who come to
According to Bray (2016), DACA is not sufficient in quantity and quality to meet the demands of every immigrant. Although the act has benefitted countless undocumented immigrants, it does not provide a stable future because it only allows “children that were brought to the U.S. who meet other requirements to apply for two years from deportation (removal), as well a work permit” (294). Nonetheless, the act does not offer long term benefits and like many social policies, it has strict requirements such as; age, education, continuous residence in the U.S. since
About 400,000 illegal immigrants come to the United States each year, each one with their own story and reasons. These illegal immigrants often have sorrowful stories that make you want to sympathize with them, but these immigrants never think about how their presence affects the United States. On September 5th, “President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of the DACA program; they contended that undocumented immigrants took economic opportunities away from citizens and lawful permanent residents” (DREAM). The DACA program was created in 2012 by President Obama and allowed illegal immigrants to stay in the United States. Recently, President Trump ended the program, but gave Congress a window to formulate a better plan
In September of 2017, the Trump administration made a statement saying that DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) will come to an end, calling the program unconstitutional and criticizing it as "unilateral executive amnesty." DACA is an executive order created by former President Barack Obama, and the program allows hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who came to the United States as a child illegally to remain in the United States. The majority of applicants to DACA cannot have serious criminal history and must have been brought to the US before 2007, under the age of 16. DACA allows for these young people to live and work inside the US legally without risk of deportation. Now, the issue with Trump ending
With Trumps decision to end DACA, Congress is now the appropriate forum to address the issues revolving around DACA, because now they have the opportunity to change or remove the policy. But I think the policy should stay in tacked because it will affect thousands of young adults and change, or take away their opportunity’s, they will also put thousands of people of risk of deportation. DACA stand for Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is an immigration policy made by President Obama in 2012. The policy allows children that arrived to the U.S before the age of 16 and had lived here since of June of 2007. When they apply for it, it last for two years and they are eligleble for renewal. As of now there is about 800,000 undocumented immigrants that are protected under DACA. What will be the point of ending something that is giving so many people oppornuty to become something of themselves?
On June 15, 2012, President Barak Obama gave a brief speech on a new Department of Homeland Security Immigration policy. This new policy will benefit thousands of undocumented students living here in the United States that were brought by their parents since they were young children from their native home. A policy called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. As President Obama mentioned in his speech about what undocumented students are, he mentioned part of a sentence that got to me. President Obama stated the following, “They are Americans in their
I think that DACA is a good starting point, but that we need something more permanent and robust, including items such as providing an actual path to citizenship. The newest president’s decisions have shown just how temporary DACA is/was for those who have chosen to come out of the shadows with who they are. I think that it is completely wrong to decide that a generation that were brought to America as children, that grew up knowing this country as their home, should be treated so carelessly or as some sort of political sandbag, as one article put it. This program gave so many people a chance to go to college, get a bank account, a driver’s license, a car or home, and generally feel a little more like everyone else.
DACA (sometimes called the Dreamers law) allowed people that came to the U.S. illegally as children to stay. Some people say those immigrants should be allowed to stay because they didn’t choose to come to America illegally and have only known America as their homeland. Others say their plight is sad, but the law is the law. Although the DACA program helps a few, this program should be dramatically changed because illegal immigrants can come here and not pay taxes while they get free healthcare and financial aid.
