DACA Research Paper

After the Trump Administration announced the end to an executive branch program that has protected up to 800,000 undocumented immigrants since 2012, Democrats and Republicans have introduced several bills in Congress, each of which would provide a path to documented and legal residence. The legislation, Dream Act of 2017, primarily supported by Democrats is called the Dream Act, an acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors

There are roughly 800,000 people living within the United States that is under the protection of an executive order during the Obama administration called Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. These children, commonly referred to as “Dreamers,” have grown up in the United States. They attended elementary school here, many graduated high school here, and many went on to become successful adults living in the United States, but as of September 5th, 2017 the DACA program was shut down by the Trump administration, pending a trial in Congress. This means that those hundreds of thousands of individuals living under the DACA arm will no longer be legal residents in the United States.

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.

The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act), is a proposed bipartisan legislation that is meant to provide amnesty and relief

These Dreamers did not choose to be brought to the United States, but now that they are here, they must find a way to move forward in life. Jesus Contreras is a paramedic who lives in Houston, Texas. He was brought here as a kid from Mexico, and is part of the DACA program. He provided assistance in the relief after Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017. In an interview with BBC, Contreras says “I’ve never considered going back to Mexico. Everything I have, everything I’ve planted, my faith my religion, my friends are all here in the United States.” Dreamers like Contreras do not have lives in Mexico. They grew up here in the U.S. and have taken part and contributed to society here. Life in Mexico is very difficult at the time, which is why many flee to the United States. There is a lot of violence and crime making it not the best place to have a family. As of November 2017, Mexico has had a nationwide total of 20,878 murders within the year, that is an average of 69 murders per day (Torres). Mexico has become a very dangerous place, which is why many of the Dreamers were brought to the U.S. If the Dreamers are sent to Mexico, they will be in a place they not only do not know, but will also be in greater danger than if they were in the U.S. A lot of what our society is built on is education and schooling. It is fundamental in our development as people and as a nation. Through DACA, these Dreamers are able to attend schooling and learn how to give back to society. In 2010,

On June 15, 2012 President Obama put in an executive order called DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) which cancelled or delayed any form of punishment to these migrants from deportation of their children if their

The dreams act is an American legislative proposal first introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2001, by Dick Durbin and Orrin Hatch. This bill would provide conditional permanent residency to certain undocumented residents of good moral character who graduate from U.S. high schools, arrived in the United States as minors, and lived in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment.

DACA is deferred action for childhood arrivals, it’s relief from deportations and work authorizations which is renewed every two years for those brought to America as children illegally. DACA recipients are often called, “dreamers”. Those who fail are eligible for deportation. Trump ended the DACA program leaving millions of undocumented people to lose their privilege in working and going to college to end up deported. Recently in the U.S., President Trump and his administration announced plans that could lead to end of the DACA Program. As part of the wind-down, no new DACA applications will be accepted. Those currently enrolled in DACA can continue working legally until their permits expire. Senior officials said they don’t plan to share

DACA was created by the Obama administration in June of 2012 with the vision to relief deportation and giving protection to foreign minors who entered the country illegally so that they could stay, work and get education without being deported to their country of origin. DACA has been entitling to controversy and uncertainty since the Trump administration because this action provides the recipients the opportunity to receive a two year renewable deferral of deportation, a work permit and benefits provided by the government. This action has been rescind by the President Donald Trump on September of 2017; more than 800,000 recipients (known as DREAMers) are left with concerns, worriers and fears of being deported to their country of birth because their families, education, friends and life is here in The United States.

The DACA program was created by the Obama Administration back in 2012. DACA is an acronym for Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals. The purpose

DACA is a US immigration policy that allows some individuals, under strict conditions, entered the country as minors and remained in the country without legal permission to do so, can receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and be eligible for a work permit. The program started in 2012 by the Obama Administration but is currently in danger of being phased out by the 2017

With the recent decision to end DACA, made by the Trump administration, the future of “dreamers” are now in the hands of Congress. The administrations’ decision to put an end to the program that protects nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants from deportation is immoral and outright unjust. It is at tough times like this that I believe one should turn to faith and prayer rather than lose hope completely. Congress now has the responsibility of deciding how 800,000 people will live their lives for the next couple of years. These dreamers being protected from deportation by DACA consist of students and hardworking tax payers alike. Regardless of Congress’ decision to end or reform, all dreamers must keep their faith alive and not lose hope.

On Tuesday fifth, 2017 the President, Donald Trump ordered to put an end to the obama-era the protects young immigrant from deportation, with a six month delay. This six month delay is supposed to urge Congress to come up with a plan as a replacement to DACA. What is DACA? DACA is a program that was formed through executive order by former President Barack Obama in 2012 and allows certain young immigrant, called Dreamers, who come to the U.S. illegally as minors to be protected from deportation. which is subject to renewal. Beneficiary from DACA obtain work permits for 2 years and they are subject to renewal every 2 years. How many young immigrants benefit from DACA? 800,000 undocumented youth are under this protection. That's a large

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.
