On Trump’s announcement to end DACA Imagine a world where innocent individuals were fearful of their livelihood and the livelihood of their families, always having to look over their shoulders and stay in the shadows to avoid having everything they know ripped out from underneath them. It has been prevalent in the media lately that the Trump administration has ended the DACA program. The general consensus is that this will positively affect our economy as a nation and decrease our unemployment rates astronomically due to the job market opening back up. However, the opposite might be the case. That is the world Trump will have the power to create if Congress doesn’t make a decision to keep the DACA program within the next …show more content…
Trump says that by ending DACA that he is opening up the job market to younger Americans, however, business leaders don’t believe this to be true (Gomez, 2017). One of the first, and most impactful results of the deletion of DACA to Texas as a whole, is the decline of the G.D.P. The current G.D.P. of Texas as of now is 1.639 trillion. If DACA were to be abolished, this could drop by several billions of dollars within a decade. A drop like this could negatively affect the stock market for Texas as well. The reason for this is the decline of the amount of workers in Texas, assuming they have either been deported or are working illegally and under the table. With hurricane season this year being in the not so distant future Texas is still in the process of rebuilding, and will be for quite a while. A good portion of the people helping to rebuild Houston happen to be DACA recipients. In fact, not only are there DACA recipients on the front lines helping rebuild a place where they may not even feel welcomed, they’re also afraid to reach out for help after the devastation for fear of deportation, they’d rather suffer in silence than risk it. With DACA standing for
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.
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
To keep with being an educated citizen of the United States, I did some research so I could properly inform myself on the issues with DACA, or the “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals”. I had no idea what this program was before writing this reflection. DACA was put into place by former President Barack Obama through an executive order. It provides young immigrants, those who came to the United States as minors, with protection from immediate deportation. It has been available for any immigrant minors under sixteen years of age for nearly ten years. Each two-year period can be renewed. Those who receive support from DACA cannot have a criminal record, according to an article from Fox News. DACA is a support program for young immigrants, also called DREAMers, in the United States.
Approving DACA would allow about 700,000 children and young adults to earn permanent residency (Fitz). DACA is known as a program that would provide certain key benefits of legal immigration status and a path for young immigrants to eventually attain citizenship ("DREAM Act”). According to Mahwish Khan, those who support DACA believe that the Dream Act would dramatically increase the pool of highly qualified recruits for the U.S. Armed Forces and think that deporting Dreamers is inhumane and cruel. Furthermore, advocates of DACA strongly feel that the Dream Act would be good for the U.S. economy. On the other hand, according to the article “Are DACA and the DREAM Act 2”, those who oppose DACA are convinced that amnesty should not be given
Where there is negative there is positive. If these recipients are removed from Texas the Texas economy would lose 6.1 billion annually and the loss of services provided by 100,000 workers (“If DACA Immigration Program Ends, Texas Will Lose.” Dallas News, 16 Jan. 2017,). Could make serious problems here. Those people own cars, houses, things in general but if they can no longer work, pay taxes, pay bills, pay back loans, what is all that going to do? It seems like a good portion of things will go under and cause us to pick up
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.
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
"Mr. Trump said in a statement that he was driven by a concern for the millions of Americans victimized by this unfair system. Mr. Sessions said the program had “denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs" (Shear and Davis, 2017). As a result, of that, a protest broke out in front of the white house and the Justice Department and cities across the country. The Democrats, some Republicans business executives, college presidents and immigrants deemed this act as coldhearted and unfair, especially for young undocumented immigrants. Trump's intentions of deporting illegal immigrants could harm the economy. In spite of his campaign guarantee to extradite as it were those with criminal records,
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?
The novel, Evidence of Satan in the Modern World, is about proof that the Devil exists and that he continues to have a presence in the modern world world even in the 1950s. The novel continues to display examples of possession and infestation of the Devil with many different types of people throughout the 1800s all the way to the mid 1900s. The novel, explained their actions with the presence of Satan, how each person dealt with it, and how it was treated. One main point about the novel is the facts of possession and how to treat it. Firstly, someone who is possessed will have a knowledge of hidden facts (155). An example of this is the case of the Cure d’ars because the novel explains that the Cure explained things to people that he could
Immigration policies on DACA can have significant impact on the economy of the United States. DACA protect more than 800,000 dreamers who were brought illegally to United States for temporary work and education. Trump administration has proposed to end DACA. Ending DACA means these children will be sent back to their respective countries. Most of dreamers are studying in colleges or are working and contributing to state and federal government in terms of taxes. Ending DACA could lead to loss of major chunk of GDP. Editor from americanprogress.org named Tom K.Wong wrote in his article “DACA has been
The Senate wants to eliminate the DACA program, but I believe that it’s crucial to keep it because there are many young students that need it to continue to succeed. Which should not be done away with even after Obama’s administration’s time runs out.
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.
