About 800,000 immigrants are part of the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA) plan. DACA is a plan established in 2012 by former President Barack Obama. This program gives young immigrants a chance to get a job, go to school, and make a living in the similar manner as any other U.S citizen. In the same way, people who are a part of DACA can help improve their society as a whole. Now that a new president is in office, forces within the American government are deciding to discontinue this act. DACA should remain, as it opens doors for many recipients and creates an impact that can be beneficial to all.

To illustrate, another survey was conducted by Center For American Progress in August 2017, interviewing 3,063 individuals. 45 percent of these participants were currently enrolled in school (Jawetz). Going to school helps you understand the responsibilities and moral standards of a community, as well as a union. Knowing the moral standards of a union helps one become aware of ongoing issues, which will give a greater chance of them becoming an effective contributor, and will therefore prevent the diminishing of their government. In addition, 91 percent of them have jobs and 5 percent are successful entrepreneurs (Jawetz). DACA gives immigrants opportunities to pursue careers, get an education, and receive other benefits they would not be granted otherwise. With the evidence given, it proves that such recipients also utilize this program in efficient manners. Furthermore, less than 1 percent of people enrolled in DACA have been convicted of crimes (Bier). Since this is such a small crime rate, a great majority of DACA recipients are known to be obedient with the law. Ultimately, those in DACA are not only conducive members, but are no threat to the U.S and its people.
One might argue that DACA is unconstitutional and should therefore be repealed. For example, the policies of DACA are not protected under judicial order (Fordyce). The DACA plan is only enforced by abuses of executive order (Fordyce). Judicial order is the highest branch of government, as they interpret the constitution loosely or strictly to determine the condition of a law. Since DACA was not approved by this power, then it is

    DACA provides them protection from getting deported and has a 2 year warranty allowing them these opportunities, they can also "extend" their warranty by working and paying taxes to the government. My personal opinion of what is going on currently and DACA is that there are "two sides" to the story. One side claims that the Dreamers ( illegal immigrants ) came to have a better life, hoped to make a difference, and have the power

    In the editorial “Ending DACA Would Upend the Dreams of a Generation of Immigrants Without Fixing a Thing”, recently published by the Los Angeles Times, the writers address the current issues surrounding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in response to a public statement by the White House suggesting that the President is expected to annul DACA in as quickly as a week. In this article, the editors first explain what DACA is and what it accomplishes. DACA is a program instituted by the order of previous United States President Barrack Obama which is “designed to give stability to people whose undocumented status is no fault of their own” (“Ending” 1). Primarily intended for people who were minors brought illegally over the United States boarder by their parents, this federal policy provides a renewable two-year work visa and, consequently, immunity to deportation during that time for over 750,000 previously undocumented illegal immigrants.

    In addition, it violates citizen’s rights and dignity in a manner that runs contrary to the founding principles of this nation. The Immigration law was put in place to lower the rate of illegal immigration but is ineffective and poorly designed, and will lead to long term conflict. It has had numerous negative side effects, hurting Arizona’s businesses, tourism, agriculture, education and population reduction over time causing the unemployment rate to rise tremendously. Arizona’s law is not and should not be the end of the discussion over how to resolve the issues plaguing our nation’s immigration system. Rather than imposing fifty different state immigration laws, U.S. Congress should collaborate to approve a national immigration reform policy that benefits our economy that is more realistic, and serves our nation’s long term

    DACA has gave many opportunities to many dreamers in the world and taking that back when every congress feels the need to do so is not okay for the lives of these people. DACA and dreamers have shown to be loyal and good to this country despite the hate and mistreatment the DACA controversy has created and boosted the economy due to hard work. Republicans hate and lack of ability to work with the rest of congress only shows that DACA is just a meaningless immigration act. DACA has been used as a scapegoat to blame for social problems like "chain-migration" which is also a socially constructed concept created by Americans, for them to believe it is okay to forcefully and cruelly getting rid of dreamers. DACA is a positive and economy booster to America therefor it should stay to continue to allow dreamers to open opportunities for

    However the reform did nothing about removing the immigrants who remained illegal. The reform was also unsuccessful because during the draw up of the bill, the bill's sponsors ended up watering down the sanctions on employers to attract support from the business community. Under the final law, all employers had to do to avoid sanctions was to make sure their workers had paperwork that "reasonably appears on its face to be genuine. " If the documents were decent fakes, that wasn't the boss's problem. So with there being such an easy way out of punishment employers continued to do as they pleased.
