The DREAM Act

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

The Dream Act, the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act is a bipartisan legislation pioneered by Sen. Orin Hatch [R-UT] and Sen. Richard Durbin [D-IL].The undocumented students will granted a conditional legal status. Within the 6 years the student must be able to obtain a degree from a four year university. After the 6 years passes the conditional status becomes a legal American citizen. The following is the detailed qualification process obtained from the official web site of the dream act:

Is higher education an entitlement? As a daughter of immigrants, this question can not be answered by a simple yes or no. Every area of policy is multifaceted. Every idea about policy draws certain boundaries in the realm of politics and in the debate of social and economic legislation. “Ideas tell what or who is included or excluded in a category.”(Stone). The rationale of public policy is taking a complex agenda, situation or idea and attempting to scale it back into main points, arguments and agendas. Furthermore, an issue is “placed on the agenda,” and a problem gets defined…alternative solutions are proposed, analyzed, legitimized, selected and refined. A solution is implemented…” (Stone 10-11). In this instance, reducing any answer to a simple yes or no response fails to capture different points of views and different ideas and the diverse amount of forces at play. Matters of community, loyalty and public interest almost always ignore the school of rationale thought. For this purpose, using the very ambiguous label of “Americans”, we all must reconcile our social perceptions of what was believed to be our American heritage for what it visibly is.

DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The AAFP organization said, “DACA provided legal protection to roughly 800,000 young people who entered the country illegally as children, allowing them to receive a renewable two-year period without the threat of deportation. The program also gave them the right to work legally in the United States.” Deporting young people who were forced to come to the US without choice should not be punished. They should have the opportunities we have as citizens. The dream act is for the child that is able to stay in the US because of DACA. It helps what are known as the “dreamers”. They are the children or adults that grew up with protection from DACA, that want to pursue their dreams here in the US. An article from the National Immigration Law Center said, “However, DACA recipients are still without a road to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status or U.S. citizenship… This has left people who either still have DACA or whose DACA has expired in limbo with respect to their future in the only country they’ve known as home since they were children.” People against DACA could say things like, DACA is not something we should be supporting or that we should not support any immigrants. The other side of this standpoint wants to say that having an organization and protection for child immigrants is not worth the effort. Extending the DACA program will give 800,000 young

I believe the American Dream Act should be applied to many illegal immigrants. Many immigrants who come here for a better life lack the educational needs because it is to expensive for them to go to college. If the American Dream Act ratifies immigrants would need to serve in the U.S. military or go for two years of college for a residency here at the United States. This act might approve, for the reason that there is more democrats as lawmakers. Illegal immigrants don’t even try to harm the U.S. they come here thinking it will give them a better life. So i accept that the American Dream Act purports immigrants and it should be passed.

To protect the rights of those without the proper documentation in the U.S, both the DREAM Act and the Deferred action programs are essential. The DREAM Act would enable many immigrant students who were brought to the United Sates as children to apply for temporary legal status and to eventually receive a permanent legal position. In order to qualify for the DREAM Act legislation, you have to have been in the U.S before the age of sixteen and you must graduate from a U.S high school or have been accepted into College. Another significant eligibility requirement is that at the time of applying you must be between the ages of 12 and 35 and have an honest personality and attitude. This Act improves the lives of many, but not all qualify. Jose

DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood arrivals is a immigration policy put in place in 2012 by the Obama administration. It allows child immigrants, also known as dreamers to stay in our country for work and school purposes without getting deported.

The United States of America is a nation of foreigners which is sometimes affectionately called a melting pot. In other words, America is composed of a myriad of cultures and backgrounds. This sets America apart from other nations within the globe. From the very beginning of its existence, it has been viewed as a place of opportunity. Many have left their homes in search of success within the workplace and a more desired lifestyle in general. Living amongst the “average” Americans are individuals that have been labeled as “Dreamers” or persons who are protected by DACA. These people were brought to the United States as minors by their parent and or parents in an effort to give them a better way of life. The parents of these dreamers flee from

Trump administration announced that DACA has been lie back as of September 5, 2017 to improve Americans jobs and Americans security. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) states that we will have less crime and Americans will be able to get higher wages our security will be safer as we take away the opportunities to our undocumented children known as Dreamers. Undocumented children should not be blamed for their parent’s actions and should have the opportunity to prove their citizenship as they are hard workers and morally committed citizens. Trump administration has previously invalidated DACA recipients until their permits expiration (The White House) states that all work permits will be honor until there permits

America, the patriot argues, is the greatest country, land of the free, and home of the brave. A country of opportunity, a gateway to success. The wonderful ideas of American ideals are what make it so attractive. This country was founded by immigrants, brave folk who endured deadly obstacles to have a chance at American life. Still today people seek a new life in America, a chance to become someone they couldn't be in their own country. A parent wishing the best for their child would bring the young one to North America so that they might have a chance of finding happiness and success. DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, allows undocumented immigrants to partake of the many possibilities that America has to offer. It grants permits that allow the recipient to work legally, meaning no under the table jobs. Instead the legality of the occupation requires taxes to be filed, which they are. It allows the recipients to attend American schools, from grade school all the way up to higher education. The purpose of DACA is to prevent these youths from being deported, as the American life is their life. Because of the vast number of working DACA recipients, the termination of the program could have negative implications on the economy, but most importantly, thousands of children and young adults will be displaced into a world they are totally unfamiliar with, shredding the doors of opportunities that could have been presented to them in America.

DACA is a very useful program for many Dreamers. Dreamers are immigrants that were brought to the United States as children. There are many benefits that come along with DACA. Some of these benefits are that they are guaranteed the right to work in the United States with a work permit, they also can apply for a social security number, possibly a driver’s license, as well as they don’t have to worry about deportation for three years. In 2012, Barack Obama allowed the DACA program to continue. Now that Donald Trump is in office he wants for DACA to come to an end. I believe that Donald Trump just

“The dreams of the world have two enemies: the world, and the dreamers,” said Hans Kasper. As everyone knows and is sad to talk about these, the Trump administration could stop some programs designed to help immigrants. DACA and DAPA are two programs that help immigrants to get benefits. For example, DACA, which is The Federal Action for Childhood Arrivals, allowed some immigrants who entered the country as children, also called “Dreamers,” to get benefits of the country, such as, work permits, applications for driver’s licenses, etc. Also, they get protection against deportation. DAPA, the second program, The Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, offered benefits to undocumented immigrants’ parents who have lived here in the USA since 2010 and have children who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. From these two programs, “many have pursued graduate degrees,” wrote Helen Axford an immigration attorney at Central America Legal Assistance. “Many are now doctors, lawyers, nurses, immigration advocates, teachers, engineers.” In Goldman’s article, he states that the programs were put on hold in May 2015, by the Fifth Circuit of Appeals, which upheld an injunction in Texas.

There are thousands of undocumented immigrants staying and working in United States, under the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) who entered the country illegally with their parents when they were children. With the coming of Trump administration, the government ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to start the process of deportation of these illegal immigrant families. DACA is an American immigration policy which allowed the illegal immigrants, who were minors at the time they entered the country, to receive a two-year permit to defer their deportation and stay in the United States. This two-year period can be renewed and they were also eligible to get a work permit. There are approximately 800,000 individuals which come under the same program and they are also called “Dreamers” after the DREAM Act bill. This program was established by the Obama administration in June 2012. The Trump administration wants to repeal the program, however, there has been no decision whether DACA is going to be repealed or not.

As mentioned in the blog, 6 Remarkable Pros and Cons of Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants, DACA erases the fact the people are breaking the law. Accepting undocumented immigrants into the United State is breaking the law. Although many of the undocumented children do not know the fact that they are immigrants until they apply for a job or for a college scholarship, this does not put aside the fact the laws are being broken. Many young people of descent or for other countries have the right to remain in America because of their status, but this could mean having families being separated to fulfill the law.
