The Pros And Cons Of Daca

Improved Essays
During difficult times , many will tell each other to never give up . To continue fighting , to continue moving forward. That which does not destroy us only makes us stronger. This statement must be true because there is a handful of people whose opportunities, family, education, etc ,have been taken away from them but that does not make them stop. It makes them become more open minded , more aware about their surroundings. They learn how to make another path directed to their goal. For example, Donald Trump , whom we call our “president” , recently put a stop to Daca. Daca helps the undocumented immigrant community on providing protection from being deported and a work permit. Many who are or were in the process on getting their Daca were first left devastated. However, they began to gain their strength back. They know that deep inside of them , they are resilient,brave and stronger then their fears. They recognize their power. Rising up as one , the undocumented community will not be intimidated by white supremacy . This situation they are in will not destroy them , they will stay unapologetic , unafraid ,and and undocumented . …show more content…
From being slaves to taking away their land , they have been the ones who suffered the most. They are the ones that people do not recognize. Being seen as a fad: imagery that can be manipulated and discarded. However, now a days there has been communities that have come together and been creating collectives or clubs that help the POC community. Although their backgrounds have been extremely difficult , they will never forget what they have been through. The thing that they will do is to keep moving forward. They will help each other .Despite all these problems , all this hatred and racism , they are all still here . Still resisting. Still evolving. Still raising their voices for those who are afraid to.

    With the introduction of the Dream Act, came many opposing views. Although the DREM Act has specific conditions that each undocumented immigrant would have to meet through the application process, “after five years, DREAM Act-eligible immigrants would be granted citizenship and those with blue-card status would be eligible to become legal permanent residents” (The Senate's 3). Conservative strongest criticism of this legislation is the Dream Act would grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. (The Senate's 3). Since there is no way to verify when an illegal immigrant child came to America, The Dream Act would be difficult to track and encourage further influx of illegal immigrants to enter America who seek a better life for their family.…

    THE DEVELOPMENT, RELIEF, AND EDUATION FOR ALIEN MINORS ACT First introduced in 2001, the DREAM Act is a federal legislation that would impact the lives of undocumented students. The bill allows certain undocumented immigrants to apply for temporary residency and later permanent residency, granting them the possibility of obtaining U.S. citizenship eventually. The DREAM Act would also void the section 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility of 1996, thereby encouraging individual states to have in-state tuition rate for undocumented youth. Eligibility requirements include entry into the U.S. before the age of 16 and having lived in the country for five or more years at the time of the enactment of the bill.…

    I believe president Trump shouldn’t rescind DACA, because the people who benefit from DACA came to the use before age 15 wish means we can’t held them responsible of their entrance to the US. The other thing those who benefit from the DACA are educated and they are not convicted of a felony; that may explain clearly those are benefiting the us economy and they are not causing any safety issues in the country. I think we should talk with an open mind about illegal immigration, also taking in consideration the humanity side of this issue. I believe each country in the world has right to protect the her border but in the same time the government should take in consideration several sides of the issues like when it come to the people who benefit…

    I think if you want to understand why the Senate immigration reform bill was a nonstarter, you must look at the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). I am sure when Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA), John McCain (R-AZ), and colleagues introduced the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, which was supposed to permit the creation of a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in return for increased enforcement measures. The IRCA when passed was supposed to move immigration to a legalization program in return for effective enforcement. The Republicans of the Senate did not believe that this happened with the IRCA and that the S. 744 was more of the same. Approximately 2.7 million people were legalized in the late 1980s…

    Another reason is Obama created DACA the immigration law program that protects these young undocumented immigration from getting deported back to their country.

    Over eight hundred thousand undocumented immigrants are protected by a law called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows specific illegal immigrant children, under certain conditions, to temporarily stay in the United States by obtaining permission from the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). There has been a lot of debate to end this program by March, 2018. Ending this program would result in more than 800,000 deportations. These people are in fear of returning to a country that they do not call home. Common ground found on this debate has been securing the border, a path to citizenship, and an improved immigration system, which is broken and outdated.…

    Just because someone called you a ‘’cracker’’ does not mean you have faced the same great deal of racism and abuse as a POC. Even comparing the stereotypes between white people and other races, makes it even more evident of a white person’s lack of oppression. On the topic of racism, the great amount of white people who appropriate other cultures, and how much society believes that there is no problem being faced is absurd. An instance of this can be proved wildly when you see a white person with dreads, wearing a Bindi, or Native American headdress.…
