Monica Frackowiak Rhetoric 102-001 September 1,2017 Paper 1 Obama Slams Trump for rescinding DACA, calls move ‘cruel’ The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which is a policy that was created on June 15, 2012 by our previous president Obama. The policy began to take place on August 15, 2017 for eligible young undocumented individuals. Former president Obama states, taking away DACA is not only “Cruel”, it's also “self” defeating, as these young undocumented individuals only want to build bright futures, they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military, and otherwise contribute to the country we love. And it's cruel.”(Liptack). In this article, Obama argues against Trump's decision on voiding DACA, deportation of these young individuals striving to create a future for themselves could all be taken away, by an unjust move by our current president. …show more content…

"This is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we'd want our own kids to be treated," he wrote. "It's about who we are as a people -- and who we want to be."Obama continues by adding, canceling out DACA is not righteous in any way, shape, or form. Ending DACA will force many young dreamers to start all over again in a place they don't even know. Forcing these individual out of our country will be ridiculous and disgraceful. Others began to agree with former president Obama, Bill Clinton added and agreed sharing this “cruel” act should not be displayed in our country.

Obama clearly strives for an agreement to be at least met, to pass a bill which will let those who are eligible for DACA to stay in the united

    Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States and was one of the most controversial presidents ever.

  • Earl Warren Pros And Cons

    1585 Words  | 4 Pages

    Earl Warren is considered a leader in American politics and law in the 20th century. Warren was the governor of California and during his time was able to secure many major reform legislations that helped modernize hospital systems, prisons, and highways. His time as governor also led to the expansion of the old-age and unemployment benefits. In 1953, he became the 14th Chief of Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. As Chief of Justice, he was able to rewrite much of the corpus of constitutional law. His most famous case as Chief of Justice was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. This case ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional since it did not give equal protection under the law to African Americans. Although the court was divided at first, his efforts were able to gain a unanimous decision. His court also sought out electoral reforms, equality in criminal justice and the defense of human rights. In 1963, Gideon v. Wainwright was a major case that sought equality in criminal justice. This case required counsel in court for defendants even if they could not afford

  • The Pros and Cons of Obamacare

    1705 Words  | 4 Pages

    The topic that I am choosing to do is on Obama Care. I chose this topic because the idea of the government forcing people to obtain insurance is wrong in my eyes. I am interested in analyzing the validity for what has been said about this topic in order to increase my understanding about Obama Care. I am not an expert when it comes to Obama Care. I know that this is an insurance that is being provided through the government for the general public. I have read that President Obama never initially read the whole bill itself. I also know that people who cannot afford it, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid are being heavily encouraged to get this insurance. Some of the common knowledge that I have found that the general public has about this subject is that some people are for Obama Care and think that it is a wonderful idea and that there are some people that are dead set against Obama Care. Younger adults, specifically college age and individuals that are in their twenties tend to be for Obama Care. The insurance is being forced upon individuals that may or may not want it. It also seems as though that the insurance being offered is pretty generic in terms of coverage. Some of the questions that I have that I believe will aide me in writing this paper would be the following: What are the pros and cons of Obama Care? What are the thoughts of Obama Care with the people of the government? As well as what are the basics of Obama Care?

  • The Negative Effects Of DACA

    1907 Words  | 4 Pages

    In June 2012, President Obama announced an immigration policy that would grant deportation relief to qualifying immigrants. The policy, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), would also give these undocumented immigrants the right to work. Although DACA has changed since President Obama’s initial announcement, the policy still has stringent requirements. Beneficiaries must have immigrated at a young age, and they need a high school education. Yet despite DACA’s restrictions, the policy has proven controversial. While Democrats have cheered DACA as a step towards immigration reform, Republicans have denounced DACA as an example of executive overreach. The conservative organization Heritage Action for America, for instance, has accused DACA of leading “residents of foreign lands [to] illegally enter the U.S.” Indeed, according to Heritage Action, Obama’s amnesty policies make undocumented immigrants believe that “they will not be returned home.”

Dreamers make contributions to the economy by working, culturally adjusting and honoring the laws put forth by the United States of America. Although dreamers do not live in the country legally, dreamers feel a part of its fabric. And with the uncertainty surrounding the ending of the DACA, dreamers are pursuing the amnesty option to

  • DACA Argumentative Essay

    543 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the start of September, Donald Trump terminated a program and in turn put fear into the hearts of nearly 800,000 people and their friends and family. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was a program that was made to replace the DREAM Act (a policy that was not approved by Congress which would have created a path towards citizenship for “illegal” immigrants that came to the United States as children). DACA was put into effect in 2012 by former President Barack Obama through an executive order. This policy protects immigrants who, as children, were either illegally brought to the United States or were brought legally but then stayed past their visas’ expiration dates. DACA provides this specific group of immigrants with protection from deportation, a social security number, and a work permit; however, it is not a way of gaining legal status. Not only are the qualifications for eligibility specific and limiting, but the application process itself is expensive, extensive, long, and it has to be done every two years.

  • The Positive And Negative Effects Of Immigration In The United States

    1848 Words  | 4 Pages

    An immigration reform in the United States would mean legalizing nearly 8-10 million illegal immigrants. There’s no doubt as to why there’s so much hesitation before making such a major decision. It’s simply too many people. However, an immigration reform wouldn’t just be about the people. There’s several parts to it. An immigration reform would include fixing border enforcement, interior enforcement, a program to provide residency for undocumented immigrants, and programs to help immigrants adjust to life in the United States as well. Nevertheless, the 8-10 million illegal immigrants remain as the main concern. Would it benefit or damage the United States? On November 20, 2014, President Barack Obama announced a program of "deferred action" which allowed nearly 45% of illegal immigrants to legally stay and work in the United States. Many states decided to go against this decision and by January 2015, 26 states were against President Obama’s executive order. This situation itself could be a problem if an immigration reform is approved. Since states can regulate or produce immigration policies, an immigration reform could be enforced differently depending on the state. To bring such a broad argument into closure, I would say that I don’t fully agree with an immigration reform, but something needs to be worked out between the president and Congress to solve this immigration crisis.

  • Argumentative Essay: What Does DACA Means

    202 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe that DACA should always be an act enforced in this country as it is not the children's fault that they are here illegally. As well as I strongly believe that DAPA should not be an act enforced in this country. These adults have always had a chance to get a visa and be here legally instead they chose to sneak over or come illegally therefore they should be forced to go back. As for the kids they should be able to become legal easier than the adults and live life as an American citizen if they choose to. We have thousands on adoption agencies that the children could be put into quite possibly giving thema way better life that being here illegally. They can do a lot more with being a legal citizen such as get a job and go to school.
