The Impact Of DACA On My Life

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.

Jose Vargas tells the story of his life; from coming to America, finding out that he is residing here illegally, learning how to live with that, and finally to sharing with everyone that he is an undocumented immigrant. Jose has a difficult task in front of him, though. He must win his audience over to his side so that he can further his agenda of developing an easier path for undocumented immigrants to receive citizenship. There are many ways he could go about this, trying to skirt the topic of his illegal activities, but Jose is an intelligent man and knows how to influence his audience. He uses the story of his life to connect with others, and in connecting with them wins them over, even if only indeterminably so. In My Life as an

Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, shares his life-long journey as an undocumented immigrant in his text, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant.” As the title suggests, Vargas attempts to convey to his audience, who likely never has and never will experience anything similar to what he has, what it is like to live as an immigrant in the United States of America. Skillfully, Vargas details the perfect number of personal stories to reach the emotional side of his audience, which is anyone who is not an immigrant. Through the use of his personal accounts Vargas is able to effectively communicate that immigrants are humans too while simultaneously proving his credibility, as he has experience and a vast amount of knowledge

Immigrants within the DACA program do pay taxes, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates the amount paid in taxes by immigrants to be around 2 billion dollars. Being in the DACA program also does not qualify this group of people for the same benefits as citizens. For example, DACA recipients do not qualify for Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act. There should not be worry about the participants benefiting from the U.S. without giving to society. The concerns about crime and violence coming with the recipients of DACA are wrong because the regulations and checks each recipient must follow. Referring to the previous sections where I discussed the regulations, each immigrant wishing to benefit from the program must prove

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

On June 15, 2012, President Barak Obama gave a brief speech on a new Department of Homeland Security Immigration policy. This new policy will benefit thousands of undocumented students living here in the United States that were brought by their parents since they were young children from their native home. A policy called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. As President Obama mentioned in his speech about what undocumented students are, he mentioned part of a sentence that got to me. President Obama stated the following, “They are Americans in their

According to CNN, on September 5, US Attorney General Jefferson Sessions gradually terminated Mr. Obama’s policy of “Dreamers”, which is DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and will be completely terminated in six months. This policy was introduced in 2012 to allow illegal immigrants who, under 16 years old enter the United States to apply for two-year repatriation and to allow them to apply for a work permit. As this policy allows renewal, it essentially allows illegal immigrant children to live permanently in the US. Based on DACA benefits for thousands of children, I think the government should keep DACA because terminating the policy and evading nearly a million young people who come to

You cannot watch the news lately without hearing something on DACA. DACA (Differed Action for Childhood Arrivals), which was an executive order signed by President Obama in hopes of encouraging congress to finally decide on immigration policies. DACA was created in 2012 by executive order by President Obama. According to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center DACA, “is a prosecutorial discretion that provides a work permit and relief from removal for two years to certain eligible undocumented youth (DACA Fact Sheet). The youth that are eligible for DACA must be currently in school, have graduated or have a GED (General Education Development) certificate, have a clean adult criminal record and must be at

I feel that DACA is a great opportunity for immigrants like our founding fathers to start a new life. Many people come to America as a vacation but then see how amazing our great country is and stay to continue the path of becoming an American citizen. Mr. Trump is willing to support DACA along with not revising DACA as long as congress funds for a border wall along with other demands.

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

Lacy M. Johnson is upset by the president’s decision on revoking DACA, which allows people who came to the U.S. illegally from a young age to work and go to school without getting deported. Jeff Sessions says that the rescinding of DACA will prevent human suffering, but Johnson says otherwise that it will cause human suffering. The author continues saying that the removal of DACA will affect a large number of Dreamers and in the process, will affect Houston as well. President Trump’s decision on ending DACA is “the compassionate thing” according to Jeff Sessions, but Johnson says it’s not compassion relative to the help she has seen after the devastation. In her article, “It’s the DACA Decision, Not Hurricane Harvey, That May Tear Houston Apart”

In the world that I am surrounded by many people that have been affected by immigration, deportation, and DACA. Growing up in a Hispanic household these were all topics that were talked about during dinner. I became interested in these topics because I personally saw how they affected the people my family and I knew. This includes my parents, to my uncle, to my cousin, and family friends I had known my entire life. I believe that the impact of DACA on the economy is critical because DACA not only affects the Dreamers but the country as a whole. We are a country of opportunity and success and I believe that immigrants, specifically DACA Dreamers have become a massive impact on how the U.S. can continue to improve each day. When Donald Trump

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.

October 14,1943 changed my life forever. After the Warsaw uprising the ghettos were burned down and we were imprisoned in camps. We are surrounded by barbed wired fences and just outside of the fences is a minefield. Over the years we took weapons that we could find and today we fought back and used all the force we had 300 people escaped today and I was one of them. We broke through the barbed wire and risked our lives by going through the minefield while the people who stayed back fought the Germans to keep us alive. We knew we were outgunned and outnumbered but some of us made

DACA program is fairly new so an evaluative approach that one would consider at this point is program monitoring. According to Royse, D., Thyer, B., & Padgett, D. (2010) notes that “program monitoring is a basic form of program evaluation … and starts with examining a program specifics goals and objectives and comparing with data” (p.121). Evaluating the program will help to determine the outcomes of the program and measure whether the program meet those objectives or if there are any improvements needed to make the program thrive. It is important to examine whether DACA is serving the population of people it is intended to serve. The data received from the report from USCIS and the review yearly can help put perspective on the impacts of
