DACA Advantages
Senior members of the Grand Old Party, formerly referred to as the Republican Party, have recently pushed the Trump administration to gradually cut off the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) from funding and legal support. The Trump administration is infamous for its partial policy and its inclination to punish and to send away migrants rather than allow them to participate in fair and regulated nation-building programs.
The Texas Attorney General wrote to the White House addressing the Trump administration on the issue. The correspondence was an ultimatum to the administration demanding that it either address the DACA by phasing it out. The other choice that the head of the State’s legal affairs gave the Trump administration was

The program is a carefully designed administrative program that allows brilliant immigrant students and hardworking immigrant youths to claim two years which they use to prove their usefulness to the American economy. The DACA is a legal chance given to young undocumented migrants to earn citizenships by proving their worth through studying and working hard.
John Kelly, Secretary of Homeland Security, called a stakeholders’ meeting for immigrants to inform them of the looming legal threats made to the program. He asserted that they needed to be aware that the program could be closed down so they could come up with other alternatives to further the cause of the program. The Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund would like to urge all those concerned to fight the elimination of the DACA. It intends to provide information, guidance and financial assistance in the cause of resisting the oppressive move made by the Grand Old Party against

Gonzales, an assistant professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education and author of “Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America.”(2016) argues that the United States needs immigration reform to bring immigrants and their families out of the shadows, to recognize their deep community connections and economic contributions, and to build a strong American society. As Gonzales interviews students on how DACA (Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals) helped them they believe that “DACA beneficiaries helped obtained new jobs and paid internships and had increased their earnings.” (3) As said in the article DACA has given insurance, and letting the DACAmented being able to get a Driver’s License.

    I grew up with an amazing family that provided me a childhood filled with immense joy. Unfortunately, in eight grade being undocumented was no longer a foreign phrase. I was told by my parents that I could anything that I dreamed of; however, I began to learn by myself that college, healthcare, and a driver’s licenses were things that I could never obtain. Eventually, I became depressed and started falling behind in school. My father caught onto my different behavior though. He told me again in a certain, passionate voice, “You can do anything that you dream of.” Afterwards, I became optimistic in an uncertain life. Fortunately, on June 15, 2015, I still remember the date, President Obama announced DACA for student like me. After that day, I became very passionate in my studies because I knew that I now had an…

    I turn to my first resource the FIU Library website. I found several articles on Opposing Viewpoints; I also found articles on CQ Researchers, as well as in the internet about “The Dream Act”. An article I found on Gale, 2012 Opposing Viewpoints talks about the situation on the act and how big it’s the problem. I read that many of these innocent people can be deported without having any criminal records or having committed any violent act. The President of the United States Barrack Obama based most of his second presidential campaign by targeting Hispanic on immigration issues and promising a new immigration reform. He is in favor of a reform for illegal immigrants and also he is in favor of “The Dream Act” as is state in this article. He understands the importance of getting an education in your early years. It is significant for the president that the congress comes to consent about passing the act. There have been many attempted to passing the act, but all seemed to failed and stuck in the Congress. Every bill must be pass by Congress; nevertheless, president Obama impatiently in June of 2012, use his executive power and stated that the U.S. government would not deport any undocumented immigrants that entered the U.S before they were sixteen. Many States opposed to Obama’s decision and are refusing to provide any assistance to those…

    Donald Trump Extinguished DACA which caused the removal of education, employment and opportunity for the "dreamers"; Young immigrants were brought to America for political, economic and social freedom. Furthermore, Elizabeth Redden states that is "creates great uncertainty for the roughly 800,000 young people currently enrolled. According to her statement, the removal of the safety blanket(DACA) for young immigrants ignited a deadly flame that could potentially destroy the future in America. To represent Hector Barrett's point of view by supporting Redden, "to exploit immigration as a political wedge issue...would be both bad government and bad politics...The winding down of DACA is the perfect time for Congress to develop effective, compassionate…

    Imagine being in the shoes of an illegal immigrant or being related to one. The deportation of illegal immigrants has become inhumane. The separation from their families, jobs and lives in the United States is cruel, frequent and heart breaking. Many individuals and their families live their everyday lives in fear, hoping their biggest nightmare never comes true. It is crucial that Immigration laws be reformed because Immigration benefits’ the United States economy through additional tax revenue, expands the low cost labor pool, and increases money in circulation.…

    Imagine the whole world around you being different than from how you used to know it, as the next generation there might be some things you might not know about or understand. The struggle, pain, sweat, tears, and danger one goes through when coming to the United States is an experience only those who wish to pursue a life with enriched education, a place to call home and work to establish a greater and meaningful lesson in which ones family can appreciate. Our president Donald Trump, has established an immigration reform in which he has said, “Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation that is what it means to have laws and to have a country” (Ramos). I am persuading you as the next generation, you may not know this, but you will slowly see changes. The immigration reform that our President has established will affect many, maybe even you and it is a law that no one should go through.…

    The media has been vocal on both sides of this issue using social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The DACA program referred to as, the Dream Act was recently rescinded leaving millions of illegal immigrants unsure of their fate. The Dream Act was a program created by an executive order from President Obama in 2012. Now that President Trump has rescinded the program, Congress is being pressured to decide what to do next. There is a clear political divide in this cause and it is being voiced over social media for the entire nation to view. One side say President Trump “dropped a potential bomb into negotiations on the future” of DACA participants. (Media Matters Staff). Every news station, newspaper and social media account seem to be more interested in taking a side than presenting any of the facts. There are arguments of children brought here by their parents that will lose out on the American Dream. Then conservatives argue the DACA participants are abusing the system and have free access to the school system when they aren’t legal American citizens. The media is influencing the latent opinion of individuals in hopes of getting the public to form an opinion and to compel Congress to decide based off this result. The modern improvements on social media have created a whole new level of media influence. Twitter and Facebook have created live streams of people debating these issues. There is also the courage that comes from typing behind a desk to people you may never meet. This is much different than posting an article under a pseudonym back in the early years of the country. Twitter users are not certified in American Government knowledge and yet they are exposing millions of others to their latent opinions throughout the internet with just a click of a button. Today, any person can post and article or blog and the search to find the facts becomes the real search. The influence on…

    Tension among white Americans and immigrants has always been evident, however, the nationalistic standpoint on this issue has become increasingly vocal since the recent election. Nationalistic political actions, specifically the increase of deportation, forces America to take a step back from the modern world, which will subsequently deplete them. Recently, U.S. president, Donald Trump announced that the administration would be ending DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, created by the former president, Barak Obama (Kopan 2017). Mixed responses were received following the announcement; 71% of Republicans who support Trump believed it to be just while the rest were against so (Kurtzleben 2017). Hobsbawm (1992: 170) commented that nationalism…

    First benefit to my idea is that it will stop immigrants from coming into our country. Once they see how brutal we are to their kind it will show them how serious they are. Once we get the immigrants to stop coming in then we worry about the ones we have in the country right now. This will be the first step to creating a superior Nation. Also, other countries will fear us and now we mean business and are not just a push over. The immigrants that are already here will want to go back to their country were it was better in the first place and they really did not need to leave.…
