I still remember when I met you. That prideful charisma you always carried. How can someone remain so confident being a Mexican immigrant during Trump's election? I often asked myself before I knew your story, before I knew what you had been through.
Your family had big dreams. You were so small when you came to the US, just 6 years old. So innocent. Coming from Mexico City, its drastically different. You had no clue what was ahead of you. School was most difficult, you spent 3 years in an English learning class. Even after, many things seemed hard for you to comprehend. Yet, you stayed strong. When you got to high school things changed, all that work had paid off. From then on you only took honors and ap classes. You were president of National

Dreamers could now obtain a Drivers License, a work permit, and enroll in any college. Though, most importantly it offered a temporary legal status to those who would attend college or join the military. This to the dreamers meant no more hiding in the shadows. They would be given the chance to demonstrate their worth without having to worry about deportation. Things from here on would only get better. Right ? Wrong. President Trump rescinded DACA September 5, 2017. See, but that day Trump took something much more than just a program away from these 800,000 young adults. He murdered a piece inside them, for this program had given them the only bit of courage they knew. He striped them from the opportunity to live the American dream. Why? Because DACA is unconstitutional. Because DACA threatens American culture. Because it threatens American jobs. Disgusting.
There is one thing Trump left behind for DACA members, a seed. He has planted a seed that will grow fear amongst these 800,000 young immigrants. The fear of being deported to a land they can no longer identify as
Daca enables young people to follow their dreams and with trump trying to cancel daca it has devastated the nation, yet he says we have 6 months till Congress makes a decision on either to legalize Daca, or to cancel it , it should not have to be a decision to make.So many children and teenagers are getting their lives torn apart, all accomplishments and achievements, all their effort they put into their lives, jobs and education, would be for nothing. He's taking jobs and educational opportunities away from innocent people who are the ones that are “making america great” again, then the ones that are living in america, not even taking advantage of the opportunities they are given in this country. Most teens who do have the opportunity to get a good education and a good job, usually end up taking it for granted, they don't appreciate what they have, and don't see what others would do to have what they have.
President trump has also stated that “”no second thoughts” about his decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shields young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children from deportation. ” Many people have different views on D.A.C.A which is why it has taken so long of anyone to come up with a final decision on weather it will stay or it will be removed. They are also those small present of people who doesn’t really care what happens to the program and has no thoughts on it. And they are also people who disagreed with it because it has to do with Obama and they are trying to get ride of many things Obama has don’t that they deem to be un needed or a bad
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
Everyday on the news you hear a new topic that refers to something President Trump wants to do, has done, or is doing at the moment. Half of the country seems to either be with or against him on choices he makes or the way he addresses things. One topic that is being discussed and talked about greatly is DACA. DACA was a policy made by Barack Obama back in 2012 to provide temporary protection to illegal immigrants, primarily focused on children. DACA means “deferred action for childhood arrivals” and it provides the option for a renewable 2 year period of deferred action of deportation. This gives eligibility for a work permit in the states. The united states president, Donald Trump, wants to terminate this policy.
In my opinion, this counter-argument is invalid because 800,000 benefited from DACA and it wouldn’t be fair to take that away from them to the point where they wouldn’t have anything left, he was just trying to do the right thing. Majority of people in the US are against DACA because they think that dreamers are receiving “special treatment”. “Denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing to same jobs to go to illegal aliens” (Jordan). Everyone has their own opinions, but it’s not fair to say that immigrants are receiving special treatment, they didn’t choose to be born in a different country they are just trying to make their parents proud of them, especially since their parents brought them here to have a better life and a better education. Believe it or not, they worked hard to be where they are today. Immigrants are here to stay, this is their country
Nearly 800,000 people affected by the repeal of DACA, most of whom were young children when they left their country, are being deported back to a country they are not familiar with. President Trump announced his decision on September 5th, 2017 to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals-DACA a program started by President Obama in 2012. Surfacing impacts this announcement caused of large protests and questions on the future of the American economy once DACA is gone.
Trump should not end the DACA agreement is because it may put a lot of people out of jobs. Immigrated children will already be used to the ‘free’ life and may have trouble getting used to a new country, the laws may be different, and stricter, or the country may be in a poor stance and the child will not be able to get a good education. A good education is everything in this world, A lot of colleges and in general jobs require good grades and great performance, which some kids may not be able to receive if deported. A study by the advocacy organization Human Impact Partners published the same year, “Family Unity, Family Health,” found that the deportation scares take a mental and physical effect on undocumented immigrant children. Researchers linked the threat of detention and deportation to poorer educational outcomes, concluding: “U.S.-citizen children who live in families under threat of detention or deportation will finish fewer years of school and face challenges focusing on their studies.”
On Tuesday president Trump called an end to the Obama program “DACA” and urges Congress to make a replacement before he begins removing the rights and the protection of “DACA” will end in six months. This means if congress doesn’t make a replacement then they will all be deported back to their home country. In March as many as 800 thousand people brought to the United States illegally as children will be eligible for deportation. The five-year-old policy allows them to remain without immediate deportation from the country and gives them the ability to work. Trump and his attorney, announced the change at the Justice Department, arguing that those that have entered the country illegally are lawbreakers who hurt Americans by taking
Donald Trump has ruined immigrants’ lives. Recently in 2017, Trump decided it would be best to take away DACA. Barack Obama, our former president, made DACA to provide safety to young undocumented immigrants from deportation. Since then immigrants have been able to work and live their life peacefully with no worry or concern about their citizenship, but now Trump has put fear back into their lives.
President Trump was intensely adamant and vocal during his campaign trail saying, "he would terminate DACA immediately" and roughly within eight months in office he has. As it was made under former President Obama's administration it is legal to end it under a new president administration. With the rescission of the DACA program the Trump administration announced no applicants filed on or after September 5, 2017 will be considered. Renew applications filed by DACA holders, whose benefits expire on or before March 5,2018 will be considered up by October 5,2017. As early as march, six months, some of the 800,000 young adults brought to the United States illegally as children who qualify for DACA will be eligible for deportation. Some
When President Trump first took office, he was sure to plan on removing DACA to decrease the number of immigrants that have migrated to America in hopes to take advantage of the American Dream. According to the article by Tal Kopan, Trump has changed his mind and is in turn trying to come up with a system that would replace the DACA
Immigration has been a big deal for decades, but with DACA it has eased so many families and individuals. Instead of deportation of anyone in general, the government will now be deferring deportation measures for those who meet the requirements of the order and focusing on the deportation of illegal immigrants who are a greater risk to the general
The president, Donald Trump, is leaning toward ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program(DACA). The administration may undo the program shielding unauthorized immigrants who arrived as children, rolling back a signature Obama-era initiative. The program was meant to give a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people. When the program came about, there was a fair warning that it wouldn’t last forever. They were told when the program announced that it wasn't a permanent solution.
The third source I used was from LA times called “Among 'Dreamers,' dismay and anger over Trump's decision: 'He just rips it all away'”. This article discusses current Dreamers reactions to the Trump Administration wanting to get rid of the program. Karla Estrada says in despair “DACA gave me a taste of the American life, It was a Band-Aid … cruelly taken off"(la times). Many of the Dreamers have felt “fear, uncertainty and defiance”. After receiving the news many advocacy and protest groups said this “targets the very immigrants who
Related to president Donald Trump decision was announced, on September 5, reference to end The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program( DACA) that was established by Barack Obama in 2014, that allowed to prevent the deportation of young immigrants whose parents brought them to the US as minors and had entered the country illegally to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work
