IMMIGRATION
DACA
The start
" What makes someone American isn't just blood or birth but allegiance to our founding principles and faith in the idea that anyone -from anywhere- can write the next chapter of our story"
DACA
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
- An American immigration policy that allows some individuals who were brought to the United States illegally as children to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and become eligible for a work permit in the U.S.
AT A GLANCE
Affects
Former President Barack Obama signed a 2012 executive that gave DACA students opportunities to be the leaders of this country. They were also given the opportunity in making a change.
But then, Donald Trump ended the DACA program in September 2017 saying " an overreach of presidential power." President Trump called on Congress to come up with a solution, but Congress has not acted. That's why I'm here
DACA has reduced some of the challenges that undocumented young adults must overcome to achieve economic and social incorporation. This policy opened up access to new jobs, higher earnings, driver’s licenses, health care, and banking.
Benefits

It provides a possible path for citizenship and supports the US military. Also It provides economic certainties. It would allow law enforcement officials to focus on bigger problems and could stop the decline of immigration in the workforce.
Pros and Cons
It would decrease job opportunities. It would increase resource consumption. It would encourage more illegal border movements. It would change the political structure of the United States.
Do you defend me in protecting young immigrants facing the end of the deferred action?
