Sponsors like Rep. Adam Smith, Lorella Praeli, and Faiz Shakir are all well involved in the democratic party seeking equality for all human beings regardless of their nationality. Both Lorella Praeli and Faiz Shakir work closely with the ACLU and support the bill 3923 and its sponsor Rep. Adam Smith because of the ideological foundations they all follow. Lorella Praelli was an undocumented immigrant until she married and received a green card, she has then gone to work for Hillary for America and is the Director of Immigration Policy and Campaign. Faiz Shakir is the National Political Director of the ACLU and senior advisor to a former senate democrat.

Besides deferring deportation, DACA provides the holders or “Dreamers” to work and study the United States legally. Those who are eligible for DACA, are not able to take any federal funds, in contrast, they are obligated to pay taxes and provide the United States with their services through profit. Since Donald Trump has shown to be very Anti-immigrant, his decision to end DACA is purely based on his political and personal values, leading to believe he will not approve anything that improves the conditions of immigrants like Bill 3923, regardless of its costs or profits for the United States. Although the president of the United States is less likely to accept Bill 3923, Congress seems to be more diverse than ever. For the 115th Congress, there are 239 Republican representatives and 197 Democrats in the House of Representatives and 52 republicans, 46 democrats, and two independent representatives in the Senate. As of 2017-2018, the Congress is more or less diverse, however, there are more republicans than democrats. The diversity in Congress makes it more likely for bills like 3923 to be passed because of the number of members of the democrat party and the influence each party has on one another. Since Congress is now more diverse, both with ethnicities and sexes, there are more experiences to be shared which can lead for a decision to improve the conditions of other
I feel that DACA is a great opportunity for immigrants like our founding fathers to start a new life. Many people come to America as a vacation but then see how amazing our great country is and stay to continue the path of becoming an American citizen. Mr. Trump is willing to support DACA along with not revising DACA as long as congress funds for a border wall along with other demands.
DACA is deferred action for childhood arrivals, it’s relief from deportations and work authorizations which is renewed every two years for those brought to America as children illegally. DACA recipients are often called, “dreamers”. Those who fail are eligible for deportation. Trump ended the DACA program leaving millions of undocumented people to lose their privilege in working and going to college to end up deported. Recently in the U.S., President Trump and his administration announced plans that could lead to end of the DACA Program. As part of the wind-down, no new DACA applications will be accepted. Those currently enrolled in DACA can continue working legally until their permits expire. Senior officials said they don’t plan to share
A Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is program created by the Obama administration in 2012 to protect children who had been brought to US by their parents. Since this program began, approximately 800,000 people have been approved. These people are also known as dreamers. To be eligible to apply for this program, candidates have to meet certain qualifications such as came to US under the age 16, either being in high school or have a high school diploma or GED, and no criminal record So that you can get a permit that protect them to get deported. Basically, with DACA dreamers can get a driver’s license, enroll for college, get a job, and live legally in US.
Women’s Rights was and still is a major issue throughout the entire world, but more specifically, in the United States of America. Women have been treated unjustly for awhile. From being beaten by their husbands, to not being able to own property if they were married, women have been through it all. Many of these situations started to change because of a group of women that decided to stand up for what they believe in. A few activists that helped improve the rights of women are Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott.
DACA is a US immigration policy that allows some individuals, under strict conditions, entered the country as minors and remained in the country without legal permission to do so, can receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and be eligible for a work permit. The program started in 2012 by the Obama Administration but is currently in danger of being phased out by the 2017
DACA is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was an American immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation.They are eligible for a work, and schooling, they also have to pay taxes. Trump and State Attorneys General’s want to end DACA . There reasoning for wanting to end DACA is that it is a “amnesty for lawbreakers” (A Dream 5). To even be eligible for DACA you have to be in the US before the age 16 and you have to have lived in the US since June 15, 2007. I believe DACA should stay because it helps students get an education
What is DACA? A program that protects young undocumented immigrants from being deported. This program was intended to be for those who have a dream of becoming someone in life; this is where the name DREAMERS came in place because these young, hard working people have a dream. For centuries, Americans have been debating immigration. There are many pros and cons, but I believe that DACA should not be exterminated from these dreamers.
In September of 2017, the Trump administration made a statement saying that DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) will come to an end, calling the program unconstitutional and criticizing it as "unilateral executive amnesty." DACA is an executive order created by former President Barack Obama, and the program allows hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who came to the United States as a child illegally to remain in the United States. The majority of applicants to DACA cannot have serious criminal history and must have been brought to the US before 2007, under the age of 16. DACA allows for these young people to live and work inside the US legally without risk of deportation. Now, the issue with Trump ending
With Trumps decision to end DACA, Congress is now the appropriate forum to address the issues revolving around DACA, because now they have the opportunity to change or remove the policy. But I think the policy should stay in tacked because it will affect thousands of young adults and change, or take away their opportunity’s, they will also put thousands of people of risk of deportation. DACA stand for Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is an immigration policy made by President Obama in 2012. The policy allows children that arrived to the U.S before the age of 16 and had lived here since of June of 2007. When they apply for it, it last for two years and they are eligleble for renewal. As of now there is about 800,000 undocumented immigrants that are protected under DACA. What will be the point of ending something that is giving so many people oppornuty to become something of themselves?
In June 2012 the Obama administration announced the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The program grants deferred action (protection from deportation) and work authorization to certain young unauthorized immigrants who came to the United States as children, have pursued an education, and have not committed serious crimes or pose no national security threat (Hipsman, Faye, and Doris Meissner, 2014). Individuals who are granted DACA status are considered as being "lawful presence," regardless of their citizenship which makes individuals eligible for driver's licenses and other state-determined benefits where states choose to grant them (Adams, Angela, and Kerry S. Boyne, 2015). The individuals who apply to DACA have to go through intense background checks, which includes fingerprint analysis, to make sure the individuals are safe for society. For all purpose DACA students are one step closer to legal status and have been deemed to be helpful to society. Many opponents of in-state tuition for undocumented students claimed that because the students could not legally work the state would lose money, however DACA has changed things forever. Now the DACAmented students can get jobs and pursue the careers they studied for in college (Adams, Angela, and Kerry S. Boyne, 2015). According to Migration Policy Institute, it is estimated that 1.7 million individuals are eligible for the DACA program. As of March 2013, the program's rolling application process has seen 469,530 requests and USCIS has approved 245,493 cases (Hipsman, Faye, and Doris Meissner, 2014). These immigrants pay taxes (i.e, sales taxes) and now they are working legally, which means more revenue for the state in both wage and sales taxes. The third policy alternative would ease the worries of anti-Texas Dream Act in the respect that the students
The DACA program is a smaller denomination of the DREAM Act, that was passed by president Obama in 2010 (Luzer). It may be similar to the DREAM Act, but DACA focuses more on the education of young immigrants that range from the age of sixteen and down (Elfman). When it comes to human immorality and unjust treatment, the repeal of the Dreamer Act would affect many undocumented people emotionally. Growing up the friend I surrounded myself with were undocumented friends that were suffering emotionally. One of my friends had showed up to school one day saying, “I can no longer stay in my house because my parents were taken away back to Mexico. I have to live with my aunt now.” My friend had been affected emotionally by the deportation of his parents and feared since he was undocumented, he too would have to start a new life. Now that there is a new president making judgment for the right of the nation, the DACA program may be repealed as well. This would leave many undocumented students without a source of furthering their education. Through the separation of families, limited rights under the constitution, and my personal experience, the deportation of people that have live in the united states from childhood is inhumane and unfair to those that have no other place to
As a result, this gives hope to immigrants all over the world who dream of coming to the United States in hopes of the American dream. Founded by former president Obama, his administration thought that children who were brought to the United States illegally should not be punished for wanting to pursue a better life. The DACA community is not an organization in which young immigrants get a free pass to live in the United States. As children, these recipients grow up to love and care for his/her country in which many have willingly joined the U.S. military out of love and respect to serve and protect our freedom. With that, many DACA recipients go through extensive background checks, but in order to be in the United States they also have to pay taxes, fees, file lots of paperwork, and have no criminal history whatsoever. Many of these recipients just want a safe place to go to school and work in order to provide for their families and also for themselves. To provide, work hard, and keep a clean profile is what’s most important to these recipients.
To fully grasp the concept of its benefits, one must understand: What is DACA? DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and is a three year security from deportation. The program was set in motion in 2012 by President Barack Obama when he signed it on as an executive order. DACA allows undocumented workers, known as Dreamers, to work towards achieving a
The DACA program is offered to illegal immigrants who were brought as children, who did not have a say if their parents were going to move or not, and many of them not aware of any laws that they were breaking (von Spakovsky). Many of these recipients have been in the United States as long as they can remember and know the US as their only home. It would be unethical to deport them to a foreign country that they may know nothing about. The DACA program represents what the country was founded on: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” the same unalienable rights that many DACA recipients are being deprived of in their country of origin, and their parent’s reason for immigrating here in the first place. DACA also does not give these immigrants any special benefits, and they often have to work harder than their legal counterparts. They have to earn everything they receive and also have to pay tax to receive legal status. The DACA program protects victims of injustice and does not really have any adverse effects. The only potential issue with it is that it may be somewhat unconstitutional in the sense that the president may be ‘abusing’ its power by using an executive order instead of going through Congress. However, considering that every president except one since the country was founded have used executive orders. One could use the same
America, the patriot argues, is the greatest country, land of the free, and home of the brave. A country of opportunity, a gateway to success. The wonderful ideas of American ideals are what make it so attractive. This country was founded by immigrants, brave folk who endured deadly obstacles to have a chance at American life. Still today people seek a new life in America, a chance to become someone they couldn't be in their own country. A parent wishing the best for their child would bring the young one to North America so that they might have a chance of finding happiness and success. DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, allows undocumented immigrants to partake of the many possibilities that America has to offer. It grants permits that allow the recipient to work legally, meaning no under the table jobs. Instead the legality of the occupation requires taxes to be filed, which they are. It allows the recipients to attend American schools, from grade school all the way up to higher education. The purpose of DACA is to prevent these youths from being deported, as the American life is their life. Because of the vast number of working DACA recipients, the termination of the program could have negative implications on the economy, but most importantly, thousands of children and young adults will be displaced into a world they are totally unfamiliar with, shredding the doors of opportunities that could have been presented to them in America.
