Is it really worth tearing families apart? DACA is a program for those who were brought to the US illegally as infants. It gives those under the program temporary protection from possible deportation. It gives them the temporary right to live, study, and work in America(TG). Those under the program are referred to as the “Dreamers”. Most Dreamers are from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras (TG). They are called Dreamers due to the failed process to pass an Act. In order for the Dreamers to be protected they have to go through an application process. *** According to the DACA website, the first step in the process is to get an application and fill it out. These applications are located at Once they are complete, the dreamer must send in his or her application ( have to be under the age 31) Had to be brought to the us as a very young child. You need the basic forms, birth certificate, proof that you came to the us before your 16th birthday, proof of immigration status, etc (USCIS).In the past, DACA would comb …show more content…
Thanks to DACA they can live here without having anything to fear. They are protected from deportation, they are given job permits so that they can work and provide for their family. Once the law for removing DACA is passed, many families will be separated. Many Dreamers will be deported. Now that DACA is going to get taken away they are not accepting anymore applications. For those currently under the program, their legal status and other DACA-related permits ( such as to work and attend college) will begin expiring in March 2018, unless Congress pass a new law allowing them to be here longer till March 2020
President Obama’s order Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) awards employment and education opportunities as well as a short-term break from deportation to illegal immigrants that were brought to U.S. as children. Hundreds of thousands of undocumented
John F. Kavanaugh, a professor of philosophy and a Jesuit priest, wrote the article “Amnesty? Let Us Be Vigilant and Charitable” for an issue of America, a Jesuit publication. In his article he discusses the negatives of American immigration laws and argues for their reform.
In the article, “Amnesty? Let Us Be Vigilant and Charitable”, John F. Kavanaugh, a man who is both a Roman Catholic priest and a professor of philosophy, assaults the current governmental treatment of illegal immigrants, explores and attempts to justify the “unlawful” immigration of many Spanish individuals, and provides viable alternatives to the current laws surrounding this type of immigration.

If DACA increases fractionalization relative to polarization, for example, its economic effects will be positive. If the opposite occurs, its effects will be negative. Yet DACA’s effects arguably depend on the time span in question. During the short run, DACA likely leads to resentment among native-born citizens. Like any controversial policy, DACA can inflame passions and lead to unproductive political disputes – particularly among those who believe that DACA’s beneficiaries ignore the “rule of law” at the expense of legal immigrants. As people move on to other issues, however, the uptick in polarization caused by DACA will disappear. More importantly, immigrants will become less afraid of the government and participate more in mainstream society, leading to increasing levels of
With the difficulties and the dangers of migrating are big, people are willing to risk their lives in order to reach the American Dream. People dream of making it to the US and having a big luxurious life when in reality all the jobs they can get is working in the fields and or factories. They discrimination they are going to face because how they look and speak, the idea that they may never make it to the top unless they go back to school and get a degree. The harsh realities with being an immigrant in the United States is big, always having to worry about ICE, or losing a job, this constant fear of being deported. In every society there is hegemonic society that prevails over everyone else and controls everything and everyone. In a country that strives to for every person to be equal is a myth, we live in a world were only the rich will prosper and the poor will get
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.
Mainly referring to Hispanics, lots and lots of people have lost family to this issue. Throughout the whole U.S, families are broken apart. From experience and from things I've been told, many sons and daughters fall into depressions. Affecting us greatly, we can experience thing such as mood swings, behavioral issues, eating disorders, and difficulty of concentrating. In my opinion, taking a person away affects the people they leave behind more than actually leaving the person here. It causes more trouble than anything. When a dearly important person is taken from you, it's like you just shutdown making you want to give up on things. This leads to society going down, but not slowly, but in all. Everyone who has been affected by the immigration issue will loose interest of trying in
The lives of millions of immigrants are affected everyday due to limited access to acquiring legal citizenship. Out of that group there are 2.1 million children and young adults under the age of 18 that are eligible for permanent citizenship at this time (The DREAM Act). In 2001 Dick Durbin and Orrin Hatch presented a Development Relief and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act that provides a path to becoming a legal citizen. The DREAM Act has yet to be passed, but there is a temporary Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)(The DREAM Act). The DREAM Act will provide options and opportunities for people to continue their path of life in America. The DREAM Act should be passed as it will benefit our economy, positively affect and strengthen our military, along with increased access to education.
Taking U.S citizens rights away or is it just an opportunity to illegal aliens? This is one of the many arguments people have been stating about the dream act. This program was passed to help illegal immigrants grow in education. It was not to acquire U.S citizen’s rights, in fact it was passed because many immigrants want to give back to the country that has offered them many things. This program also known as DACA was proposed by the president Barack Obama and has been applied to many illegal immigrants since 2010. It is an aid for immigrant students that want to go top college and stay in school. Being part of the Dream Act is not giving illegal aliens U.S citizen’s rights, it is allowing young immigrants to have the opportunity to get an education and succeed in life.
The DREAM Act is proposed legislation that was first introduced in 2001. If put into action, it would give illegal immigrants who crossed the border when they were young the chance to become documented citizens of the United States, given they fulfill certain requirements. The DREAM Act should be put into place at the federal level because it will benefit the United States by filling spots in the military and adding talented young scholars to the workforce, as well as give young immigrants the freedom and pursuit of happiness they are promised.
The DREAM Act legislation should pass and become a law; in a way this will be beneficial for both parties involved, for the young immigrants and for the U.S. If this is not possible an alternative should be sought out. The DREAM Act could be embedded into a comprehensive immigration reform, or the government can look to give the dreamers and other immigrant’s temporary legal status. “The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act would offer the undocumented youth the chance at legal reside...
People have sacrificed many things in order to improve the circumstances of their family in the future. Most parents do anything they can for their child to have a brighter future. However, immigrants are having to leave their families behind in Mexico to take the dangerous path to the United States to find work that can provide for their children back at home. It is difficult for a person to make the choice of whether or not to go to the United States for work to have better opportunities, or to stay with their families and struggle throughout their life. Illegal Mexicans should remain coming to the U.S for a better opportunities for them and their families.
Currently, there are 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the United States; 6 million of those immigrants are Mexican-born (Preston). Within that undocumented population are individuals who were brought to the States as children. These individuals have grown up in the American culture and consider themselves American, but struggle with being treated as second class citizens due to their undocumented status. On June fifteenth of 2012, the Obama Administration announced the executive order Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This order will allow immigrants who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children to apply for work permits and avoid deportation (Hennessey and Bennett). President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is not only beneficial to it applicants but also to the United States as a whole.
For most of them they had to come, and had no say in the matter.For example, one dreamer, Aashana Vishnani, who came with her parents to the U.S from India, said she didn’t have a choice and “never asked to come to America”(NPR) .Dreamers were also oblivious of the illegality of their situation since they were usually very young when they came here, in fact most of them were “6 and a half years old”(Vox) when they arrived and “didn’t know they were unauthorized immigrants until they were teenagers”(Vox). How could dreamers be punished for something they did as a little kid
