In September of 2017, Trump Administration announced that they were officially going to discharge the DACA ( Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Program, making the United States shake. It took everyone by surprise, like the family members. The DACA was brought through both Congress, President Obama in 2012. Meanwhile, the dreamers grew terrified of how their lives were torn away. This has caused many individuals of many ages that have DACA to worry about how they are going to support their families and it also affecting getting higher education. The Trump Administration announced on September 2017 that they would remove DACA. This program was clearly for kids that were brought by their parents at a really young age. Do the dreamers deserve this …show more content…
Without the DACA they will not be able to keep on going into further education. A dreamers was brought here not for their decision but, because the parents wanted a higher education for their child. In the country they were living in was not a proper way for education. Dreamers have excelled in high schools and colleges; therefore, with the removal they will not be able to work for what hard work has taken to achieve it. One example, in “A Dream Deferred: President Trump says he's ending DACA--a program that protect thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation--unless Congress acts to save it” stated the following “A survey by the Center for American Progress found a least 18 of the top 25 Fortune 500 companies employ DACA recipients” (Smith. Oct. 9,2017). As seen a lot of companies have dreamers working for them. At any second the individuals can be declined to keep on working of their legal status. Dreamers think twice when they get out of high school and go into college for those reasons. Many of the dreamers have been here for education K-12, meanwhile Trump is removing this major program that helps a lot of individuals with their
As it stands, DACA is a program that allows undocumented immigrants to come out of hiding, and helps them to enjoy some of the benefits of US citizens, such as applying for a drivers license, credit card, and work authorization. DACA allows undocumented immigrants who came here as children, to live without fear of deportation. However, not everyone is eligible for DACA, and strict eligibility rules are in place to make sure that the criminals and unproductive people don't get to stay in this country and receive benefits for free. To be eligible for DACA, you must have been brought here before your 16th birthday, born after June 15, 1981, lived here continuously since June 15, 2007, have a minimum of a GED or be enrolled in school, and
There are roughly 800,000 people living within the United States that is under the protection of an executive order during the Obama administration called Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. These children, commonly referred to as “Dreamers,” have grown up in the United States. They attended elementary school here, many graduated high school here, and many went on to become successful adults living in the United States, but as of September 5th, 2017 the DACA program was shut down by the Trump administration, pending a trial in Congress. This means that those hundreds of thousands of individuals living under the DACA arm will no longer be legal residents in the United States.
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.
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
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 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.
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
Supposing that DACA stays, many businesses would have an easier time searching for qualified employees since there are a huge number of Dreamers in the US that have an excellent level of education.
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
My side in this DACA situation is that is wrong that President Trump took away and canceled the DACA program. If he was not okay with it, he could have just left it the way that it was and he just shouldn’t have expanded the program into wider programs. These people that are doing the best that they can at school are the dreamers that know that their opportunities grew and that their dreams came true but just like that Trump did not care and took it all away. They should have the same opportunity as we do to be able to go to school so they can have a good job, or even work and they produce a lot of work for this country. For example, the person that can save your life one day can be a dreamer that was able to study and become a doctor. The next person that can clean your teeth the next time that your visit a dentist office can be a dreamer. The time your house is on fire and a firefighter comes to the rescue can be a dreamer. Let's not discriminate these people that are not that different from us. The only difference that we portray is the fact that some of us were born here in the United States and these people were born in a different county. Just because of that, we should not put them aside and treat them differently.
“If Trump Ends DACA, Here's How Many Students Could Be Affected.” USA Today, Gannett Satellite Information Network, 29 Aug. 2017). With only 8.6% actually graduate high school on DACA and 1.3% graduate college on DACA. Those numbers just seem very unfair to me. They are getting the financial aid and all those other things while some of us get nothing or barely anything.
As said in the article A Dream Deferred “It allows me to blend into society every way” (A Dream 13). As a citizen I would not understand the struggle that the DACA students go through , but i still believe that they should should keep it because sending a student , family member , or employees to a country that they don't even remember or want to go back to just seems like a nightmare to go through. Also tearing a family apart because of getting rid of a program just seem inhuman to me. I believe if these students or members of this program are paying their taxes, going to school, and following the rules they should be able to stay in the US. Now that Trump is trying to get rid of DACA there are a lot more challenges to getting into the US. Right now Trump is only allowing The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico to the DACA because of the fact that they got hit by the hurricanes. But those aren't the places that they most students come from , the most students come from Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala. Mexico is actually the biggest by far applicants. In the article A Dream Deferred it says “In the five years since they were
When we were kids, we were told to dream big so we can be whatever we want to be. However, President Donald Trump wants to remove an action that protects kids who immigrated to the U.S. of a young age (dreamers). This decision has affected many kids and young adults who work and go to school. DACA has helped many dreamers go to school, college, work, and most importantly has provided protection from deportation. Although these kids don’t have immigration papers, they are still considered dreamers and have the same desires as natural born Americans. Many of these kids are upset because they know they won’t be able to learn and have a career in their own country; it’s impossible.
Can you imagine how it feels to live in fear because you don’t know if these upcoming months will be last you spend with your friends and family again, that's an everyday struggle for a DACA recipient. “I’m a Dreamer. I’d Have Nothing if it Weren’t for DACA.” (Guzman). The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has not only allowed illegal immigrants a time to play a critical role in the US economy but has also given them an opportunity to make it in life and accomplish their goals.
There are 800,000 undocumented immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) passed by President Obama. Those persons known as Dreamers were brought illegally to the United States at a young age by their parents. Now they have pursued careers, started families, they have contributed to the United States of America, our country, their country. But on Tuesday, September 5th, 2017, the former president Donald Trump ended this program, leaving thousands of families with the uncertainty that if they will be back together again or not. Dreamers have brought pride to this country, they have been admitted into the best universities, they have received the best scholarships such as Bill Gates scholarship. DACA’s deadline is October 5th; this is the last opportunity for the Dreamers to continue with their right to pursue their education. Dreamers have to stay in the United States and be legal citizens because they have spent their whole life here, they help the U.S. economy, they bring cultural diversity to the country, the Dreamers as their name states want to achieve the American dream by pursuing a better education.
