Should the Government Proceed with DACA
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

Do you believe repealing DACA will stop illegal immigrants? Certainly not. At the beginning of the presidential campaign, president Trump caused a lot of controversy and concern about the absurd remarks about “illegal immigrants are drug traffickers and rapists”. This shows that the accumulation of illegal immigrants on the issue has been very serious. At the implementation level, it will lead to a fierce confrontation between a large number of law enforcement personnel and immigrant groups. Terminating DACA, this tough and unwelcome policy does not help to solve problems. It will raise the conflict between the government and people and make the problems more complicated.
I think ending DACA is morally wrong. I believe many people express sympathy for immigrants who have entered America illegally during their childhood because minors are unable to make their own decisions and are unable to leave their families. Therefore, they enter into America with their families is not of their own wishes. Furthermore, their social circles and homes that they grew up in the US are firmly rooted in this country. If these children are repatriated, it will completely subvert their lives; it is the parent’s fault. It seems too cruel. Even if illegal immigrants have always been unwelcome, their children's needs should be not be disregarded. Referring to the case for keeping DACA - the Washington Post, IIya Somin discusses the concern, a recent
Besides deferring deportation, DACA provides the holders or “Dreamers” to work and study the United States legally. Those who are eligible for DACA, are not able to take any federal funds, in contrast, they are obligated to pay taxes and provide the United States with their services through profit. Since Donald Trump has shown to be very Anti-immigrant, his decision to end DACA is purely based on his political and personal values, leading to believe he will not approve anything that improves the conditions of immigrants like Bill 3923, regardless of its costs or profits for the United States.
Pay particular attention, in a letter from Attorney General Sessions to Acting Secretary, Duke, on the Rescission of DACA; Sessions wrote, "The effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other things, contributed to a surge of unaccompanied minors on the southern border that yielded terrible humanitarian consequences. It also denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens." That speaks volumes about DACA and
The unjustified decision to end DACA has sparked numerous protests around the nation. The administration’s decision is unjustified because many of the people protected under this act are hardworking tax payers who obey laws just like any citizen of this nation. In general, Dreamers are motivated youthful individuals who have studied to better themselves and now pay taxes to this nation they call “home”. Some of which, only know English and
Immigration hardliners in Trump’s administration said DACA was illegal. They, including Sessions, urged him to end the program. Some other advisers, including chief of staff John Kelly, reportedly did not want him to terminate DACA. Many GOP congressional leaders signaled to Trump not to end the program either. There’s a proposal in Congress to provisionally protect dreamers. Sessions said DACA’s wind down gives Congress time to address dreamers’ immigration status.
There are numerous Social welfare issue with when discussing Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals (ACA). As previously mention this program help many immigrant’s children who did not ask to come into this country. If this program is phase out. There would be many immigrants that would be affected in a highly negative way. Many immigrants would have to return to a country that they do not recognize, because they left at a very young age, this could mean they would mostly likely experienced a culture shock. On the other hand, this is going to have an effect in the United States economic due many of the individuals that benefit from DACA are working and paying taxes. This means that a major number of individuals would stop contributing to the
Through the years the DACA legislation has come a long way of providing a great advantage for undocumented students. Through the legislation we have been able to have a stable job and a sense of security. DACA does not only offer an opportunity to financially help the families of those students, who most likely are undocumented as well, but it also offers a deferred action from deportation which allows students to, for at least two years, live without the fear of being taken away from the US. This legislation has helped many students across the United States and many different ways the economy DACA provides a 42 percent wage raise for the recipients which can be connected to higher tax revenue and financial growth (Wong, Rosas, Reyna, Rodriguez,,
DACA is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation.They are eligible for a work, and schooling, they also have to pay taxes. Trump and State Attorneys General’s want to end DACA . There reasoning for wanting to end DACA is that it is a “amnesty for lawbreakers” (A Dream 5). To even be eligible for DACA you have to be in the US before the age 16 and you have to have lived in the US since June 15, 2007. I believe DACA should stay because it helps students get an education
Immigrants within the DACA program do pay taxes, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates the amount paid in taxes by immigrants to be around 2 billion dollars. Being in the DACA program also does not qualify this group of people for the same benefits as citizens. For example, DACA recipients do not qualify for Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act. There should not be worry about the participants benefiting from the U.S. without giving to society. The concerns about crime and violence coming with the recipients of DACA are wrong because the regulations and checks each recipient must follow. Referring to the previous sections where I discussed the regulations, each immigrant wishing to benefit from the program must prove
Within the past year, the Department of Justice under President Trump has ended Obama Era orders. One in particular is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA is an immigration policy that allowed for people who entered the country illegally as minors to stay within the U.S, work, and receive a two-year deferred action period from deportation. Trump revoked this order causing Homeland Security to stop processing applications. Since DACA has been revoked, federal courts across the country have begun proceedings to block parts of it. Although many are upset, congress has yet to rule upon the law and some effects have taken place. According to the Huffington Post, “since the September announcement, an estimated 11,000 young people have lost their deportation protections.” The effects that have already begun are concerns to the public because many people will begin to lose their ability to function within the American society.
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
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?
Wrong. President Trump rescinded DACA September 5, 2017. See, but that day Trump took something much more than just a program away from these 800,000 young adults. He murdered a piece inside them, for this program had given them the only bit of courage they knew. He striped them from the opportunity to live the American dream. Why? Because DACA is unconstitutional. Because DACA threatens American culture. Because it threatens American jobs. Disgusting.
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.
There are 800,000 undocumented immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) passed by President Obama. Those persons known as Dreamers were brought illegally to the United States at a young age by their parents. Now they have pursued careers, started families, they have contributed to the United States of America, our country, their country. But on Tuesday, September 5th, 2017, the former president Donald Trump ended this program, leaving thousands of families with the uncertainty that if they will be back together again or not. Dreamers have brought pride to this country, they have been admitted into the best universities, they have received the best scholarships such as Bill Gates scholarship. DACA’s deadline is October 5th; this is the last opportunity for the Dreamers to continue with their right to pursue their education. Dreamers have to stay in the United States and be legal citizens because they have spent their whole life here, they help the U.S. economy, they bring cultural diversity to the country, the Dreamers as their name states want to achieve the American dream by pursuing a better education.
