Importance of DACA :

By Daniela Garcia

DACA was created in 2012, allowing many children who have been brought to the United States to have an opportunity to stay in the US for a better life. It allows them to work and attend school. But ever since Donald Trump became president he constantly talks about the removal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

 
There are multiple reasons why DACA should remain available for the children who are undocumented. With the Dream Act it opens an opportunity for these kids to obtain their citizenship.   Most of these kids were brought to this country which has become their only home which is why I believe they deserve a citizenship. With DACA they have an opportunity to work and have a better way of living. For a better future is the reason why they were brought into this country.

In order to be able to obtain DACA they have to go through several steps and requirements. It is not easy, in fact it is an extremely long process! The Dream Act is given to those who truly deserve to remain in this country. There are dates you have to meet in order to qualify. They must also have a clean record and actually have good intentions for this country.

Terminating DACA would be an abuse of the executive branch, but clearly the Trump Administration does not seem to care. It would also destroy many of these Dreamers goals, leaving them with no choice but to return to a country which they are not familiar with.
