DACA
(Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) has helped many immigrants, like
myself, who came to the United States at a very young age, it gave us the
opportunity to be able to get a stable job by giving us a work permit and
continue pursuing our dreams. At age 5, I migrated from Mexico to Texas and
since then it has been the only home I know. DACA should remain and they should
let the Dreamers keep working, finish school and let them achieve their goals,
at the end of the day, we are humans and deserve to make our dreams come true.
DACA allows
immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children, completed or are in high
school, and who have not committed a crime, to obtain work permits and have
temporary protection from deportation. Every two years you need to renew it, which
includes a fee of $495. As of now, they are not accepting no more new
applications but those who were already under DACA can renew. The U.S. is
the only country that these Dreamers know and established their lives here, and
if DACA is removed they have to go back to a country that they barely know.
When they apply for DACA, they do a background check to make sure you have not
committed any felonies. I do not see why they do not want to keep it if every
person who is under DACA contributes to the U.S.
In
Conclusion, DACA has helped many immigrants have a better job and continue to
pursue their dreams. If they take away DACA many of them are not going to be
able to finish school and/or work in their dream job.
