It has given hope to these individuals who have been hiding in the shadows. President Donald Trump wants to end this immigration policy. This will affect many individuals who have built their future in this country. It will affect the people in my community and it will affect people in my family. I personally am not a recipient of DACA but I still feel the disappointment and the fear that these individuals are experiencing. I have an older cousin who was brought to the United States since he was 3 years old. He graduated 5 years ago and because he applied to DACA he is now in college pursuing a career as a welder. He is able to have a job and work he also got a car and he seems so happy. When my aunt told my mom about how scared they were about what might happen to his future. He doesn’t know any other country other than the United States. If he were to go back to Mexico he would have no place to stay and he would have to start all over again. Even though he lives far away from him I still feel scared for him because he is part of my family and he’s worked very
In Priscilla Alvarez’s article “Trump Prepares to End DACA,” she informs the reader about the background of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Donald Trump’s impending decision to end the program. The belief of removing DACA is just cruel and like Mr. Obama said, “Self-defeating.” The struggle with having a fair and permanent solution for immigrants. When will immigrants get their fair rights and to finally live life freely without the fear of being deported. Dreamers don 't oppose threats and are productive people in this society.
In “Is Ending DACA the Worst Decision Trump Has Made?”, William Finnegan uses historical background, statistics, surveys, and effective usage of pathos to synthesize the compelling dissertation that Donald Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) within his immigration crackdown is a detrimental mistake and will cause immediate suffering among immigrant children. These influential sources contribute to Finnegan’s argument as historical background, statistics, and surveys provide sufficient objective information to support his views and pathos to connect the topic to the audience’s personal life. Although some critics may believe ending DACA is a positive decision for immigration regulation, the arguments
Trump has just been elected as the 45th President of The United States of America. He is known for his hatred to ethnic minorities and his ability to create the dislikes to them among the American people is what made him such a dangerous choice for especially the Mexicans. He has an ability to unify the country through hate. This will be an analytical essay of the text Why Latino Children Are Scared of Donald Trump by Héctor Tobar. It is an article is from the opinion pages in the NY Times and it discusses all the issues related to Donald Trump.
The main discussion regarding these two articles concerns immigration reform and the action done under the Trump administration, specifically his action to suspend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA in September of 2017. Both of these articles address the topic, although they both address the President’s decision in a different viewpoint than that of the other article. The author of “Is Ending DACA the Worst Decision Trump has made?,” Finnegan argues that ending DACA has led to personal turmoil, distress, and it will ultimately be bad for the future of the country as a whole due to the suspension of the program. In contrast to this, the author of “DACA is Unconstitutional, as Obama Admitted” Spakovsky states that the
By all means; the Imperfect Mexican-American When I was younger, I couldn't fathom what my parents meant when they said ‘‘Cruce la frontera para que tengan una mejor vida,’’ In other words, I crossed the border for my children to have the future they longed for; their American dream. I understood the troubles and sacrifices they went through and felt the pain they carried for leaving their motherland, yet I didn't understand what life they were looking for me and my sisters. Years later, one afternoon, my sister greets us with the news that she got accepted to college, I thought this is it, the better life my parents wished for us, the sacrifices they made are paying off, yet to my surprise what was suppose to be proudness turned out to be
The final decision includes the Texas law having to be reversed, therefore they no longer can refuse an education to undocumented children. That is to say that the winning of that case has opened the doors for many undocumented children to get an educated and succeed like any other
It is something that will improve the country socially and economically. It would resolve so many issues regarding immigration reform and about all of the young undocumented alien minors in America. It is something that would motivate them even, because they have been given a second chance, which is great then. It will empower them; it will show them that you should never give up and that America after-all. These alien minors will become better-educated, higher-earning workers and taxpayers.
This source is the research finding of the writers. It is the research findings of the National UnDACAmented Research Project (NURP). They break up their findings in three different figures: Resources Accessed by DACA Recipients, DACA Recipients’ Connections to Deported Individuals, and Family Members Potentially Impacted by Comprehensive Immigration Reform. In these figures, they go in and explain more thoroughly the different kinds of impact DACA has had. Their research is very detailed and specific.
Being a child of immigrant parents makes you appreciate life so much because everyday it’s an opportunity to be the best you can be to make everyone around you proud. My parents can’t got back to school and get an education so being able to see me succeed is worth their hard work. My parents have taught me to never give up. I know that some doors may be closed on me but that doesn’t mean other doors won’t open. I want to be someone who represents the Hispanic community.
This year’s election process was a treacherous one, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were the top two runningmates. Trump was never predicted to win, but nobody can tell the future. Trump is a very unpleasant man, but I hope he does good in office. In this essay, I will be explaining my worries about him in office. When dealing with illegal immigrants, I think that Trump should not build a wall, but instead, stop them from entering completely but not allowing Americans to hire them.
In 2013, then President Obama came very close to immigration reform and passed a comprehensive reform bill which allowed the illegal immigrants to obtain citizenship, but it was rejected by the Republican-led House of Representatives. Still, the Obama Administration took several measures to facilitate this large number of undocumented immigrants. One of the renowned initiatives was Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In this program,
Immigration in the past few decades have grown within the world as many are fleeing their own countries for others, by both legal and illegal means. However, with such a large influx of immigrants, this has put a notable strain on the receiving countries. Thus raising the question of what can be done and what to do with those who have illegally entered the country. In the United States the issue of illegal immigration and immigrants has progressively worsened, splitting the citizen’s opinion between either allowing them to stay or deporting every illegal within the country. On November 20, 2014 President Obama gave a speech to answer such questions with his immigration reform.
Ten years ago, I immigrated to the United States and ever since I have been an undocumented immigrant. Due to my legal status in the United States, I felt like I was restricted from certain situations and possessions and would never be able to succeed. I was not living the normal life of a seven-year-old. Instead, I had to learn to cope and adapt to a whole new culture. Even though the drastic change at such a young age was a challenge, it has shaped who I am today.
Realization of American Needs In recent years, America has abandoned their limitations and borders. This has thus caused the American citizens to become frustrated with America’s “post-border society.” In the coming election candidates who are addressing this border crisis are becoming more favorable to the public. For example, Donald Trump has dove full force into the topic of abandoned borders, and addresses that America needs limitations.
“America is safe, it is the land of opportunity” A place where we will not be surrounded by rusty barbed wire, which kills more dreams than the civil war in Burma. But I already renounce this thorn-bush as home “I don’t want to go” said seven-year old me with my face crinkled up and my eyes squinted looking directly into my father’s eyes. The moment I said those words I wanted to breathe them back in like oxygen. His dark brown eyes seems darker than ever like a polluted night sky without a single star. My words were bullets aiming straight at his heart.
