Telemundo: A Social Media Analysis

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 does help it's recipients acquire a work permit, Social Security number, State ID, open a bank account and apply for scholarships. But what about the 12 million undocumented immigrants that are not fortunate enough to qualify for the program. These immigrants have no work permit forcing them to undergo poor working conditions, below minimum wage salaries, no benefits, and long exhausting hours to support their families. They have to work harder because the price of losing their jobs is higher. Not to mention that illegal immigrants paid $13 billion in just payroll taxes for benefits they can't receive (Welfare, Food Stamps, etc.) as well as sales and property taxes they pay whenever they purchase clothing, gas, or rent for their

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was created in 2012 by the Obama administration after the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act failed. It allows children under the age of 17 that were brought into the country illegally to gain temporary protection from deportation, a Social Security card, a driver’s license, and permission to obtain a work

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

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

I find DACA to be really unfair when it comes to the education side of it. While I and other U.S citizens are busting their butts to try to pay for school and sometimes paying out of pocket because they didn’t get financial aid, DACA recipients get financial aid, in-state tuition, and even in certain cases lower tuition. I have a single mother that works on average 60-70 hours a week and I am working 50 plus a week to pay for my tuition. I wasn’t eligible for any financial aid which was kind of strange to me because neither my mother or I make enough to not be in the range. Plus, all of my mother income or my income goes straight to the school or into purchasing books. I almost did not

An issue that immigrants face is paying for the cost of college. According to the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, DACA does not give citizenship or student aid. Students who go to college with grants, scholarship, or loans will still have to pay a higher cost in tuition. Although the Dream Act may seem beneficial, according to the American Immigration council, it has yet not become a law and does not offer financial

Again, the Society is deceived and is told, DACA recipients are college-bound high school graduates or military personnel. That is an exaggeration. In reality, all that is mandatory is that the individual enrolls in a high school class

There are millions of immigrants who live in the United States illegally who become citizens by first becoming lawful permanent residents of the United States and after five years, in most cases, applying for naturalization and be granted US citizenship. In many cases, when undocumented immigrants enter the US, they bring their families with them. When parents are discovered by immigration authorities and deported, this can create a family tragedy if the children are left behind.

Despite not having path to permanent residency or citizenship, many undocumented lives improved vastly under DACA. With a social security number, they can work legally, obtain a driver’s license, apply for credit cards, and petition to travel outside the country (Patler 2015). Renewability of DACA further encourages undocumented students to remain in the country

It is significant to evaluate the outcomes of DACA based on the progress of the program since it has been implemented. Some areas to look at are who are eligible to apply? Who is applying? Who is eligible to apply? Who are eligible to apply but does not meet the education requirements? What states are applying? What states has the highest application rates? In the article of Batolova et al (2013) notes that there are “1.9 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States who are under the age 31, arrived in the United States before June 2007 and were under age 16 at arrival”(p.3). This data answers the question of who are eligible to apply and indicates that there is a great

Since many Dreamers have siblings and children that are native-born US citizens, taking away the protections granted by the program would mean breaking families apart, causing further social and financial turmoil in the communities affected. DACA also allows immigrants to more actively participate in American society. Once the program was enacted, many were able to get driver’s licenses, higher paying jobs, and better education, according to the same study mentioned above. Some have even registered as organ donors. Economist across the board agree that Dreamers are not a burden, but instead, because of their hard work and commercial activity, produce a net gain; ending DACA could significantly hurt the country’s

The majority of the people who benefit from DACA were brought to the United States at a very young age, some not even being old enough to make decisions for themselves. Through the removal of DACA, the lives of those who came innocently are impacted and damaged. They did not make the conscious decision to come here, and should not be reprimanded for wanting to remain and continue their life in the country they consider home. According to data gathered by the New York Times, almost 800,000 people are protected by DACA, “…with 79 percent coming from Mexico”(Parlapiano & Yourish 3) and “less than 30 percent of eligible applicants applied from the Philippines, India and South Korea”(3)—those are 800,000 young people who are at risk of loosing their status. In an interview by Michel Martin, done through NPR, Dan Lee, a

The American Immigration Counsel estimates that across the nation “65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school” in a single year (“Dream Act”). After graduating high school, it’s approximated that less than 10 percent of undocumented immigrant students will attend college (“Dream Act”). Many of these illegal immigrant students were brought to the United States by their parents at a very young age and were raised in the same education system as their fellow American students; yet because of their lack of

DACA lets the children of illegal immigrants remain in the country if certain conditions are met, and there are nearly 700,000 young people enrolled in the program. In January, a San Francisco federal court ruled that the Department of Homeland Security had to keep accepting renewal applications from current DACA enrollees. The case was filed by the University of California in response to the Trump administration's threat to shut down the program by March 5. The judge in the case said that the Justice
