Childhood Arrivals: What Is DACA?

Our nation is strongest when we embrace the diversity of ideas and contributions from our young people. Today’s decision to end the deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) policy effectively disrupts the futures of the nearly 800,000 young people who have called the United States home since childhood — and represents an incredible loss for America, undermining the very foundation on which this country of immigrants was built.

In the article, For DACA Recipients, Losing Protection and Work Permits Is Just The Start, by Caitlyn Dickerson, it targets and examines the outcome of what will happen to those who are under the DACA program and how their lives will change in just a blink of an eye. To all of these immigrants who fled their countries and took their loved ones with them in hopes of trying to what are their countries and took their loved ones with them in hopes of trying to create a better life for themselves, DACA was seen as one of many opportunities that would be presented it to them. One of the privileges of being under the DACA program would be that these people would get to live their dreams of living in the United States and being able to work and provide

President Trump is a president like no other. Republicans did not want to combine Hurricane disasters, relief,(Irma, and Harvey) and raising the debt. Republicans wanted to fund the disaster but this is not how they wanted to do it. They are now ready to move the combined bill in the congress. Republicans would have liked to keep DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) policy in place or take it away completely. Trump decided to end DACA but at the same time he wanted congress to come up with a plan to protect DACA recipients. Trump’s tweet that he will revisit DACA issue again gave the democrats an advantage taking it away from republicans. DACA is a planned immigration policy to let certain illegal immigrant kids attend school and have a job. DACA is

According to the Pew Research Center, there are currently one million undocumented immigrant children living in the US, a third of them living in poverty. Most of these children had no choice in coming to the states. For most of these children, a college education is the way out of poverty, however many state colleges and universities require undocumented immigrants pay out of state tuition to enroll, which is money that most of these undocumented families do not have. The United States must pass the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented immigrant children to pay in-state tuition to colleges and universities. Passing the DREAM Act would benefit the economy, it would give equal footing to minors who are looking for a better life, and it

I am writing you this letter for reasons of why repealing DACA will negatively affect the people in our community. As a person from Harrisburg, it has been noticeable that DACA has improved and impacted our city ever since the start of the program. The program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an authoritative help in exportation from American territory. The motivation behind DACA is to secure qualified foreigner youth who went to the United States when they were kids from expulsion. DACA gives youthful undocumented migrants assurance from extradition and a work permit for people to earn money and sustain their family. The program is provided for low-income undocumented people in poverty and will allow two years of work, subject

Perhaps the day of the termination of the DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was a silent day for most of the people who have benefited from Obama’s policy to avoid deportation and be able to work and study inside the US. The silence is attributed to the fear and uncertainty, that old feeling that DREAMers experienced in a pre-DACA era—a time spent mostly under the shadows; a time that seems to prevail once again.

As of October 2017, DACA has been abolished by Congress and supports from the Trump Administration. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), established by the Department of Homeland Security on June 12, 2012, is a policy which helps illegal aliens that are coming into the United States get benefits that Congress did not act to provide by law. Many of these recipients are spread throughout the United States. In 2014, another policy called DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents) was expanded from the 2012 DACA policy. This policy was similar to DACA but it helped certain aliens who have children’s that have U.S. Citizenship. On June 29, 2017, Texas and several other states sent letters to the

In a place where education is not easily accessible to everyone, and where the eagerness to learn and get an education develops within a community, social movements arise. One of many of which one of my good friend has been involved is the Dream Act and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. She is one of the few people that I personally know that has been actively politically involved since we were in high school. Through her I was able to learn and get a better understanding that education is not something that should be taken for granted, there are people like her, who are struggling and have so much potential to make a difference who want to learn but do not have access to education because they are undocumented. Many

DACA education was a human rights issue that is still striking the young immigrant people today. These young people are trying to continue their education now that they are able to be here in the United States. They are able to attend school from kinder thru 12 grade without question but cannot go on to college to further their education. And the main reason they can not is because these people are not born in the United States.

Many people argue that America has no culture. America Does have culture and beautiful combination of the culture of thousands of immigrants who settle in the US annually. These immigrants brought their culture to the US in one-way or another. They have made changes in the country, whether through the economy, education, work, or military services. Immigrants continue to move to the US so that they can live better lives. The DREAM ACT is very important and it should be pass to give opportunities these illegal children.

The first basis of this argument is the media chooses what they cover. According to the globalpost.com media outlets and the shows they produce go through a production meeting prior to these shows airing. During these production meetings anchors, producers, and writers all come together to see which issues they will cover for the day, as a result we are at the mercy of these production folks to see what they will present to us for the day. An example of this would be during President Obamas implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act which came into play in late 2009. Upon rolling this act out the media was all over this as it did affect the healthcare industry slightly when it came to rates and expenses, however, with this act being implemented

An organization that is attempting to manage a crisis is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. This is a program that Obama put in place to protect young undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. This is a huge crisis due to the number of immigrants that are a part of this program who are business owners, graduates, and overall people that have helped this economy grow.

Media plays a huge role in today's society. Media, in its many forms, can be very persuasive and can change how people view a certain topic. The past few years, media has greatly affected how people feel about topics such as: gay rights, abortion, racism, and anything political. Depending on what site, or source you are on, media can depict the topic you research however it wants. It has been argued that there are political bias in media, which is not wrong. You can find just about anything in whichever political view you want. When talking politics, there are multiple media outlets that are party-based. Even in print, you can find just about anything in favor of what you believe if you look for it. Media does a fantastic job of manipulating people to believe certain things without the audience realizing it. The media provides constant information about politics, and in more times than not, political rather than professional. In this lesson, we learned about liberals and conservatives and how political parties can be affected through media bias and public opinion.

     The media provides the public political issues, which sets the agenda for political discussion. In theory the media tries to attune themselves to the interest of the public, but “in most instances the media severs as conduits for agenda-setting efforts by competing groups and forces” (Ginsberg, Lowi & Weir, 1999, p. 298). To gain public support, groups and forces need media coverage to promote their ideas. However, the media has great control over which issues they televise. The issues must have media appeal or be considered newsworthy.

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." This quote by A.J. Liebling illustrates the reality of where the media stands in today's society. Over the past twenty years there has been an increase in power throughout the media with regard to politics. The media's original purpose was to inform the public of the relevant events that occurred around the world. The job of the media is to search out the truth and relay that news to the people. The media has the power to inform the people but often times the stories given to the public are distorted for one reason or another. Using slant and sensationalism, the media has begun to shape our views in society and the process by which
