Rhetorical Analysis Of 'DreamersPut Their Trust In DACA'

In the United States, many families are currently being affected by the Dream Act’s failure to pass. The Dream Act would have given many undocumented children the ability to have a pathway to citizenship. The Dream Act believed in the importance of social support within the family by supporting family unification. However, due to its failure to pass, millions of undocumented children are now at risk of being deported and having their families divided. Although the U.S. government created a new policy known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), it is not providing immigrants with the same opportunity. DACA instead give undocumented people the opportunity to not be deported for a maximum of three years, but will never become a pathway to permanent citizenship. The Dream Act and DACA ultimately affects the physiological, emotional, and mental health of the immigrants who reside within the U.S.

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.

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.

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.

Passing the DREAM Act would give a fair chance to countless undocumented immigrants like Amy to finish their education, get a job, and live a life free of fear of the country they live in. A majority of the country supports the DREAM Act as well. The Center for American Progress found that “sixty-six percent of voters support the DREAM Act, while 72 percent of Latinos said it was ‘extremely important’ or ‘very important’ that Congress pass the bill” (Guzman, Jara). The DREAM Act would give an equal playing field to immigrants that are trying to survive in

The Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals (DACA) protects eligible young immigrants who came to the United States as children from deportation. It grants young undocumented immigrants a work permit and protection from deportation. Although there has been controversy about keeping this policy, the people protected under DACA contribute to society and American economy, also keeping DACA is about keeping a promise, and it is constitutional. It exists for the good policy for the nation, its citizens, and those children that DACA supports.

The job of a writer is never done. New information is always being thrown at writers such as David Leonhardt, begging to be judged and characterized, not as good nor bad, but worthy of reading. Immigration is ingrained in our society as Americans, that's how America was born.

This means that the immigrant who was brought in as a child is given a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and is also given a work permit. America has stripped this act from immigrants leaving them scared and hopeless. Many people argue that America should not be doing this for immigrants and that the immigrants who are on DACA will take their jobs. The DACA

After hearing the news, I felt as if my worries were crawling right back up to my shoulders. As if I was at the top of the mountain and then had someone push back down. Finding out that the Senate has plans to take down the DACA was as if they were closing the doors to my success. As the Congress debates over immigration reform, August the 15th marks the second anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. On the 15th of August 2012, President Obama began a policy calling for deferred action towards certain young individuals who came to the United States as children and are known as Dreamers(LOGOS). This policy allows this group of people to have similar rights that are initially reserved for the citizens of the United States, like applying for employment or having a social security. The Daca program also secures the young dreamers from deportation.

In regards to the DACA and DAPA programs, President Obama spoke about the U.S being a “nation of immigrants”, referencing the country’s long history of immigration. In her book, Small Strangers, historian Melissa R. Klapper maintains that U.S. history is a story of foreign-born youth and children of immigrants. She says: “As both real people and symbols, turn-of-the-century immigrant children played a vital role [in the] unprecedented productivity and economic growth of their country.” Immigrant youth have been uniquely affected by immigration policies in the U.S. An overview of our country highlights the neglected presence of young immigrants in some of the most significant eras of immigration.

A social issue that is currently whirling around the United States is the discussion of what is going to happen with DACA recipients. DACA stands for The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and they are also commonly referred to as “Dreamers” (Michelle Mark 2017). The DACA act was set in place in 2012 by President Barrack Obama and it provided young immigrants the chance to apply for temporary protection from deportation. Often times children are too young to know what is going on and their parents bring them into the United States so they are then protected under the DACA act. It is also only eligible to immigrants who have been in the United States since 2007 and were under 16 years of age; 30 or younger as of June 2012, in high school or have a diploma or GED and a clean criminal record (Dara Lind 2017). The program does not grant legal status, put them on a path to citizenship and or legalization (Michelle Mark 2017). The protection does allow these people to get authorization to work and obtain a valid driver’s license in some states. DACA provides the opportunity for them to have the chance to further their education, buy cars, homes and even the possibility of starting a business (Dara Lind 2017). Currently 800, 000 people depend on the DACA Act in the United States (Michelle Mark). Without the DACA Act, the recipients are essentially an illegal immigrant.

On June 15, 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival Program also known as "DACA," was created by President Barack Obama. The Program was designed to aid and protect Illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States when they were children. DACA also provides authorization to work with benefits such as healthcare and social security card.

In June 2012, President Obama announced a new immigration policy that grants certain undocumented immigrants deportation exceptions. The policy, formally known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), also gives young undocumented immigrants work authorization. DACA’s requirements are relatively stringent: beneficiaries not only need a high school education, but also must have immigrated to the U.S. at a young age. Despite DACA’s restrictions, the policy has proven controversial. Although Democrats have cheered DACA as a step towards comprehensive immigration reform, Republicans have denounced DACA as an example of executive overreach. The conservative organization Heritage Action for America, for instance, has accused DACA of leading “residents of foreign lands [to] illegally enter the U.S.” Indeed, according to Heritage Action, Obama’s so-called “amnesty” policy gives undocumented immigrants the belief that “they will not be returned home.”

The article “How the Supreme Court’s immigration decision hurts all of us” (2016) Roberto G. Gonzales. Roberto G. Gonzales is an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of “lives in limbo:Undocumented and coming of age in america”. Gonzales sounds sad and disappointed through his article. Gonzales claims that the Obama administration had created a new and life changing program to help young undocumented immigrants. The program was named DACA which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The program gives young immigrants deportation relief and other benefits such as a work permit a driver's license and some even open bank accounts and build their credit, which can benefit the economy. Gonzales explains
