Donald Trump Extinguished DACA which caused the removal of education, employment and opportunity for the "dreamers"; Young immigrants were brought to America for political, economic and social freedom. Furthermore, Elizabeth Redden states that is "creates great uncertainty for the roughly 800,000 young people currently enrolled. According to her statement, the removal of the safety blanket(DACA) for young immigrants ignited a deadly flame that could potentially destroy the future in America. To represent Hector Barrett's point of view by supporting Redden, "to exploit immigration as a political wedge issue...would be both bad government and bad politics...The winding down of DACA is the perfect time for Congress to develop effective, compassionate…
Trump wants to end DACA. I think that he shouldn’t end DACA.The DACA program allows undocumented young adults work in the country legally. DACA was an Obama-era program. “The DACA program, announced by President Obama in June, 2012, provided recipients with protection from deportation for two years, which could be renewed, and allowed them to work(Alvarez, 3). I think that Trump is scared of undocumented people and what they could become. If they are continued allowance in the U.S. Immigration Services and U.S. Citizenship gave work to thousands of undocumented immigrants giving them the ability to work, to make something of themselves. The executive branch has legal authority to implement DACA. More than 100 law professors signed a letter…
Crystal, there is Head start centers in many cities for children with low income families, disabilities, and speech issues. This service is free if you meet the income guidelines. I see pros and cons for Head start. I feel this government funded service is misused in some ways because the bus will pick the children up, feed the children, and the employees will care for the children while the parents remain home unemployed. I feel the parents should have to work or attend school to receive the service. This would allow more children to get enrolled for working families who need it.…
As you know the President Donald Trump is trying to remove the Obama-era program, that was made for children brought to the U.S. illegally. This program was known as “ DACA”. DACA is a program that gives temporary protection to undocumented immigrants, who arrived to the United States as children. Do…
With the combination of the CAPTA and the 1980 legislation there was the thought that foster care was harmful to children which is by no means supported by research. In fact, foster care was much safer than leaving a child with their biological family in which abuse has occurred. Many families were not offered extensive services to help the child and/or the family. This act was responsible for state services and created financial incentives which encouraged legislators to promote stable child welfare services for children. “This resulted in larger prevention efforts, expanded program eligibility standards, support for finding adoptive homes, increased availability of placements for special needs and minority populations, increased kin and family…
The program of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has helped many undocumented people living the United States. The purpose of DACA is to protect children brought to the United…
In the presidential election between President Barack Obama and Senator Mitt Romney in 2012, the prospective vice president of Mitt Romney, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was going to suggest a Republican version of the DREAM Act (Wong et al. :8). This was going to help the Republicans to receive more support from immigrant voters. In order to compete with this, President Obama initiated the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program that would give temporary deportation relief and work authorization for two years to unauthorized youth. He announced it on June 15, 2012, but it did not really began until one month later, August 15, 2012. However, this did not guarantee a pathway to citizenship. Although this was similar to the DREAM Act, it was very different in which it was temporary relief and could be revoked at any time. Over a half of million applied, 573,000 and 430,000 did receive deferred action (Wong and Garcia 2). Only a small percentage were denied. However, there were studies that told that males were more likely to be denied than females and the older the applicant the much likely chance of denial…
The Dream Act was first introduced to the US Congress in August 2001 under President George W. Bush’s first term. This act which stands for Development, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors has become a major stepping stone for the long debated issue of immigration reform. It wasn’t until mid-2012 under President Barack Obama’s first term that legislature similar to The Dream Act actually came to fruition. Legislation known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) grants those persons who were brought to this country illegally while they were under the age of 16 and who were under age 31 when the policy took place, have no criminal record, and are willing to go to college or serve the US military the right stay in this country without the fear of facing deportation during the next two years. The issue of immigration in particular illegal immigration has been a controversial topic our government has argued on a variety of perspectives. This issue has been long debated from the perspective of national security to jobs, economy as well as human rights violations.…
The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act or best known as the DREAM Act was introduced by Barack Obama in 2015 but rescinded by Donald Trump in 2017. This proposal gave hope to undocumented minors in the United States. This hope, however, is being stripped away without taking into consideration the catastrophe it will cause in the lives of many people that call America, home.…
On June 15, 2012, President Barack Obama announced an executive action that changed the lives of thousands of people. The Deferred Action of Arrival Children (DACA) was initiated in the United States. DACA protected undocumented minors from deportation, to pursue higher education, and authorization to public service careers. Today nearly 800,000 people have benefitted from the program and has contributed to the society economically, socially, and politically. However, due to the nation's reputation of open borders, many conflicts between the United States and other nations has resulted in terrorist attacks and has left the nation in fear/shock. On November 9, 2017, President Donald Trump was elected into office and was ready to initiate his…
The foster care system in New York City is deeply flawed. Sixty-four percent of foster care children are impoverished in their adult lives, 50% of girls are pregnant within 12-18 months of aging out of the system, and 80% of all inmates on death row grew up in the foster care system. Foster care children should not have to fight against these statistics. The Felix Organization is providing solutions, through Camp Felix, Beyond Camp, the Felix Friendship Circle, and the Secret Santa Gift Exchange. Camp Felix, their largest program, is a four week long summer camp for children in foster care.…
Deferred Action will not be granted to individuals who leave and re-enter the country after August 15, 2012.This could be a problem because if you like to travel a lot, then America won’t let you into their country.In conclusion, the DACA program should be ended and Congress should develop a new law to address these…
The program known as DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, was created by the Obama Administration in 2012. It protected young immigrants brought to the United States by their parents from deportation. This program is now being unjustifiably removed by the Trump Administration and many people are left asking why as the reasons given were inadequate and flawed in many ways.…
The dreams of DREAMERS have turned into a nightmare. On September 5, president Trump announced an end to DACA. DACA was a program that was passed during the Obama administration. The DACA program allowed individuals, also known as DREAMERS, who entered the United States at a young age, to receive working papers and be allowed to stay in the United States legally. Many DREAMERS feel as if they are now at risk of deportation.…
He hasn’t talked about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program yet, but he said that the fate of the DREAMers, or its 750,000 beneficiaries have nothing to worry. The reason, as Press Secretary Spicer said, is that Trump would wait for the congress to act on this matter.…
