Could DACA be saved?
Nearly
800,000 young undocumented immigrants have been saved from deportation under
DACA, which is a program that was created by Barack Obama in 2012. Since Donald
Trump entered office, he has decided to remove DACA and give Congress six months
to take action and come up with a new plan. Congress hasn’t taken any actions and
all the young immigrants’ lives are on hold.
Young
immigrants are given the chance to live in the United States to reach their
goals and have a chance to live in freedom. Recently, we had families separated,
and a lot of young and old Latinos getting deported. I would like to have Congress
take actions and give hope to these young kids. Those are the kids that could
build our future and let the United States build equal rights for everybody. I
have seen kids that work two jobs while attending school in order for them to
survive in the United States. On top of that, they have to deal with fear to be
able to live in the United States. I never imagined the freedom-loving United
States would have people live in fear.
On
November28, the house GOP members announced that they are ready to work to
craft a new legislative fix for the young immigrants. We are at a critical
moment. Congress should take action and all its members should give the
dreamers a hope to live. DACA should be saved. The members of the House could pass
legislation that allows the young immigrants to live the American Dream with nothing
to force them to get deported.
I agree strongly with your opinion that Congress should take action and do something to save DACA. You do a good job of touching on background information regarding the issue and I agree that the United States is a place of freedom-it shouldn't alienate anyone, especially children who are the future of this country.
ReplyDeleteAs a result of the recent election, the time to preserve vital progress in our nation has come. President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated immigration plans pose a significant threat to undocumented immigrants nationwide. Undocumented high school graduates wishing to go on to college to further their education, wanting nothing more than to contribute to their communities and to the United States, face a harsh reality after graduating high school. DACA presented hope for a future for many undocumented students across the country. Young children and young adults with aspirations of becoming future doctors, teachers, lawyers, and countless other career paths were given an opportunity to pursue their dreams when Obama announced the DACA program. Donald Trump plans to terminate this, effectively ending all young undocumented students' hopes of obtaining driver’s licenses, work permits, and a college education and putting them at an increased risk for deportation.
We will be ending the work, progress, and achievements of young immigrants. All of their hard-work and progress will essentially be destroyed.
