Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals

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

Every year, about 65,000 American high school graduates are undocumented youths. Even though most of them have worked hard in school and seek further education or a high paying job, as any American would, their legal status, or lack thereof, makes it nearly impossible to achieve those dreams. Also, they live in fear of deportation, never to draw attention to themselves. Since 2001, Congress has been exposed to many attempts at a final solution for this issue. But is there really a solution for undocumented young adults who came to the United States as youths and now face so many problems with their lack of legal status? The DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) provides an opportunity for undocumented young adults to have a permanent resident status by following specific guidelines. (Adding to thesis later)

In the United States, there are hundreds of thousands of people whose safety in this nation is in jeopardy. The recipients of DACA, a deportation protection program, rely on its benefits to remain in the US. Not only does DACA keep many people safe, but it provides a variety of benefits outside of simply being protected from deportation. The impacts of DACA on society, the economy, and health vastly outweigh the possible negatives it has on the United States.

 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.

As of this month, the Trump Administration has announced removal of the DACA program and the Dreamers, who are immigrants currently participating in this program. However, after this notice was made, there are different sides on whether this decision will improve or damage America’s future. Determining whether DACA is beneficial or harmful to our country is important because this can create more awareness of the impacts that affect huge components of America, especially our country’s economy. If America kept the DACA program, this can be beneficial in many ways towards the future of our economy.

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

According to the Pew Research Center, there are currently one million undocumented immigrant children living in the US, a third of them living in poverty. Most of these children had no choice in coming to the states. For most of these children, a college education is the way out of poverty, however many state colleges and universities require undocumented immigrants pay out of state tuition to enroll, which is money that most of these undocumented families do not have. The United States must pass the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented immigrant children to pay in-state tuition to colleges and universities. Passing the DREAM Act would benefit the economy, it would give equal footing to minors who are looking for a better life, and it

The DACA program is a smaller denomination of the DREAM Act, that was passed by president Obama in 2010 (Luzer). It may be similar to the DREAM Act, but DACA focuses more on the education of young immigrants that range from the age of sixteen and down (Elfman). When it comes to human immorality and unjust treatment, the repeal of the Dreamer Act would affect many undocumented people emotionally. Growing up the friend I surrounded myself with were undocumented friends that were suffering emotionally. One of my friends had showed up to school one day saying, “I can no longer stay in my house because my parents were taken away back to Mexico. I have to live with my aunt now.” My friend had been affected emotionally by the deportation of his parents and feared since he was undocumented, he too would have to start a new life. Now that there is a new president making judgment for the right of the nation, the DACA program may be repealed as well. This would leave many undocumented students without a source of furthering their education. Through the separation of families, limited rights under the constitution, and my personal experience, the deportation of people that have live in the united states from childhood is inhumane and unfair to those that have no other place to

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program (DACA) has helped stimulate the United States financially; by canceling it the Trump Administration has doomed our economy. Lawmakers have quite a task ahead of them as they try to traverse the tumultuous territory that is the DACA cancelation. However, one of the largest, if not the largest, problems that this move has created is the threat it poses to the nation’s economy. Bombastically, the Trump Administration made a move that seemed to be supported by its followers. Yet, further analysis of the cancelation seems to greatly cripple the United States, estimating that the nation stands to lose $215 billion if the former DACA recipients are deported.

Immigrating to a new country is never easy. I know from personal experience how difficult it can be: learning a new language, becoming familiar with a new culture, and just trying to fit in. I was born in Shymkent, Kazakhstan and living there for 4 to 6 years. There are some very captivating and distinct memories that I still, to this very day, can remember. While living in an orphanage with 30 to 40 orphans, ranging from 4 to 9 years old, it was very chaotic. I remember this one night taking a bath in this very deep, oval shape-like bathtub sharing it with all of these orphans. The water very unsanitary and very repugnant and having this caretaker wash your body was something that I will never forget. In the

Many people argue that America has no culture. America Does have culture and beautiful combination of the culture of thousands of immigrants who settle in the US annually. These immigrants brought their culture to the US in one-way or another. They have made changes in the country, whether through the economy, education, work, or military services. Immigrants continue to move to the US so that they can live better lives. The DREAM ACT is very important and it should be pass to give opportunities these illegal children.

Our nation is strongest when we embrace the diversity of ideas and contributions from our young people. Today’s decision to end the deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) policy effectively disrupts the futures of the nearly 800,000 young people who have called the United States home since childhood — and represents an incredible loss for America, undermining the very foundation on which this country of immigrants was built.

Media outlets have the power to voice opinions for the masses of followers they may have. Depending on the topic, media typically has 2 different standpoints but there is always room for another. Three standpoints typically become more common when burning topics come to light. Using the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals as an example better known as DACA, I found articles that were mainly targeted towards either Republican, Liberal, or Neutral parties. The articles were debriefing the controversy around the elimination of DACA. The republican media outlets such as Fox News portrays in favor of the wrongdoing of being illegal. Fox News outlets do not sympathize or use any humanity when wording their article. The title reads "What is DACA

DACA means the world to me. It’s more than just a policy, it’s a policy that’s helping me and other live the American Dream, that our parents risk their lives for. It’s crazy to believe that back into 2014, I only believed in finishing high school and then working for the rest of my life at a job that I knew I was not going to love, but now I’m in Ephraim, Utah studying till 4 a.m. for my finals. If it wasn’t for DACA, I would not have been in my second year of college learning about something that I’m truly invested in. I have been able to expand my education further than ever. I hope to graduate in the spring of 2019 with my associate of science degree, then transfer to any University that accepts me. In the state of Utah, it’s hard to be

I am absolutely for DACA and what it has to offer. I personally don’t understand why anyone would want something like this to happen. These people aren’t dangerous and most of them don’t come to harm anyone or anything cause if anything they come over because they work for there families and so they can get money to spend back to them. Immigrants are very hard workers they try to get on education so they can help others and I know not everyone does but instead they come to the U.S. to sell drugs and here to do bad stuff and I think they should do something about those people but DACA is such a great program that helps everyone that is undocumented to do stuff that they come to do. When trump removes DACA it will ruin these people’s lives.
