Daca's Negative Impact On Young Immigrants

I do not think the recession of DACA will be beneficial to American Society. Many of the DACA recipients are highly qualified for the jobs they have, however many of them achieving their bachelor’s degree. Since becoming a recipient, it has allowed them to be able to receive their driver’s license, open a bank account, and even be able to buy a home. There is over 790,000 DACA recipients with the most being in California and Texas, if they are forced to leave, it could affect the economy in a negative way in these states and much more.

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.

The unjustified decision to end DACA has sparked numerous protests around the nation. The administration’s decision is unjustified because many of the people protected under this act are hardworking tax payers who obey laws just like any citizen of this nation. In general, Dreamers are motivated youthful individuals who have studied to better themselves and now pay taxes to this nation they call “home”. Some of which, only know English and

DACA, also known as deferred action for childhood arrivals. Daca is a American immigration policy that allowed minors who illegally moved to America during their childhood years to be legally eligible for work and be deferred from deportation for a two year period. The “DREAMERS” are those put into the system and protected by the DACA. There are many limitations before one individual can become a part of the system. Limitations can range from multiple cases such as being younger than 31 by June 15th 2012, or arrived in the Us before age 16 and living there continuously since June 15th 2007, hane no being convicted of felonies or three or more misdemeanors serious misdemeanors or a public threat, are in school or have completed some type of GED from a high school, were present in the United States June 15th 2012 and making choice of joining DACA, and entered without inspection June 15th 2012 or their legal immigration status had expired.

Imagine a world with an educated youth. Now imagine a parallel world where children are fighting to keep a smile on their faces, because, in truth, it is the only thing they have. In reality, this is what is happening. Youth, who have the privilege to be American citizens, are granted a very fulfilling education with a promise of a career. Children of illegal and undocumented immigrants do not have such luck. Some undocumented children in America have very promising futures and even a degree under their belts, but they cannot apply for a job because they have no proof of citizenship. A controversial topic is the matter of the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education, for Alien Minors) which permits undocumented immigrants to obtain

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.

Approving DACA would allow about 700,000 children and young adults to earn permanent residency (Fitz). DACA is known as a program that would provide certain key benefits of legal immigration status and a path for young immigrants to eventually attain citizenship ("DREAM Act”). According to Mahwish Khan, those who support DACA believe that the Dream Act would dramatically increase the pool of highly qualified recruits for the U.S. Armed Forces and think that deporting Dreamers is inhumane and cruel. Furthermore, advocates of DACA strongly feel that the Dream Act would be good for the U.S. economy. On the other hand, according to the article “Are DACA and the DREAM Act 2”, those who oppose DACA are convinced that amnesty should not be given

Although, it is a temporary measure with no direction to citizenship. This announcement brought a major victory for the immigrant youth movement, which has worked for decades to achieve some sort of legal status for its undocumented members. In particular, this movement has struggle for transition of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act. While it has yet to become law, the DREAM Act has played an unparalleled role in U.S. political discourse since it was first proposed in 2001. Above all, it has assemble a new youth movement that asserts its members' rights the new terms articulating in society are "undocumented youth" and "DREAMERS" which are widely used on college campuses, workplace, in mainstream newspapers, publications, and including by politicians and celebrities. Many of these immigrant youth movement have taken their stigmatized undocumented status into a powerful identity. As a result, "DREAMERS,” undocumented immigrants in their teens, twenties and thirties who have reveal their undocumented status in support of the DREAM Act and have become a recognizable and compelling force in United States; despite having no formal political

So why is it necessary to keep these “dreamers” from living their dream? During Trump’s presidential campaign, he promised to reverse Obama’s “unconstitutional executive actions.” Republicans did not forget this promise and felt it necessary to take actions into their own hands. So they [Republicans] threatened to sue the federal government over DACA if the President didn’t cancel it by September 5th. Thus, leaving us where we are today: Trump putting an end to DACA and giving Congress 6 months to pass new laws in place of

This program allows children brought to America illegally to obtain driver’s license, enroll in college, find legal jobs, pay income taxes, and also serve in the military without the fear of being deported to their country. More than thousands of people could lose their jobs if DACA is taken away forever. It could also cause more than 800,000 dreamers to be uncertain about their future and the possibility of being deported. Following is a Juan Escalante’s story of how and why his family he decided to come to America with his family. “I remember the day I found out I was undocumented. I got a call from an admissions office from a university I had applied to. They wanted to see a green card. I was extremely embarrassed. My mother just started crying. She just started apologizing and told me that it was her fault and that she wanted a better future of us.”. When Juan Escalante was 11 years old, his family and him came to the United States from Venezuela, where life had become dangerous. “We were driving and we stopped at a red light. A man approaches our car and he told my

DACA, also known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival, has influenced the way many immigrants live in the United States. It is a very important topic since it affects more than 700,000 people in the United States. It has become a more relevant topic in today’s news since congress wants to take DACA away, affecting thousands of people, especially the Dreamers. According to DACA Information “It started on June 17, 2007, and it allowed people to receive a renewable two year permission to stay in the country, only allowing the people under 31 and born on June 15, 1981 and after” (Lal). This program has separated many children from the parents.

In the United States, many families are currently being affected by the Dream Act’s failure to pass. The Dream Act would have given many undocumented children the ability to have a pathway to citizenship. The Dream Act believed in the importance of social support within the family by supporting family unification. However, due to its failure to pass, millions of undocumented children are now at risk of being deported and having their families divided. Although the U.S. government created a new policy known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), it is not providing immigrants with the same opportunity. DACA instead give undocumented people the opportunity to not be deported for a maximum of three years, but will never become a pathway to permanent citizenship. The Dream Act and DACA ultimately affects the physiological, emotional, and mental health of the immigrants who reside within the U.S.

The sixteen-year history of the DREAM Act has been futile — despite various sponsors and versions and dozens of votes, the bill has failed again and again. In June 2012, President Barack Obama issued the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act, or DACA (Alcindor and Gay Stolberg), with the hope that eventually Congress would pass the DREAM Act. The executive action would “lift the shadow of deportation from these young people”, a generation of people known as DREAMers who were brought to the United States illegally as children, and grant work-authorization papers (Friedersdorf). Note that this action does not grant legal status. On September 5, 2017, the Trump administration rescinded the order leaving the more than 800,000 DREAMers unprotected, unable to attend higher education and unable to work legally. With six months until the rescission is fully active, Congress will be forced to decide on the DREAM Act

Annually, there are close to 65,000 undocumented immigrants who graduate high school or earn a GED in order to then apply for college, only to be declined due to their lack of citizenship. Not only are they constantly turned away, if they are accepted, they are granted no financial aid and are forced to pay out-of-state tuition despite how long they may or may not have lived in that state (Bennion). Regardless of their residential status, Dreamers are capable of being honor students, athletes, valedictorians, all of the above, and everything a permanent citizen is able to assume the role of. They are just as intelligent, and if we provide to them the same resource as those who are legal are given, they could truly become a role model to many alike. On top of everything, it is already challenging for a Dreamer to get a job thanks to their status as a citizen, without a higher education they may have an insufficient chance of working a career or in a position of select field. Under the DREAM Act, these children could work a job with a salary enough to take care of them and their families if need be. Furthermore, if these people are allowed access to an increased amount of jobs, it would lead to economic growth in our

After hearing the news, I felt as if my worries were crawling right back up to my shoulders. As if I was at the top of the mountain and then had someone push back down. Finding out that the Senate has plans to take down the DACA was as if they were closing the doors to my success. As the Congress debates over immigration reform, August the 15th marks the second anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. On the 15th of August 2012, President Obama began a policy calling for deferred action towards certain young individuals who came to the United States as children and are known as Dreamers(LOGOS). This policy allows this group of people to have similar rights that are initially reserved for the citizens of the United States, like applying for employment or having a social security. The Daca program also secures the young dreamers from deportation.
