DACA - Fighting For The Dream Of Freedom

Civil Rights Are Human Rights And Human Rights Are Civil Rights
Because this is who we are now for some reason. It makes me sick as an American and frankly less safe in my community. Suddenly isolated because the average of my demographic portrayed in the media is this racist shit, or someone so eager to be brown that it’s a weird version of Jim Crow reversed. Why is it one side has to compromise identity to offer an appearance that it’s the only way to get along? There is no Brown conspiracy to change America.
I wish the same people that deny climate change caused by man could see the demographic of this land they live on in the same way. White is not indigenous nor is black, For thousands of years, brown people flowed back and fourth on this land we call America. It was white people that built a damn called an imaginary border. From maps and google, we here know where the border is, but it’s not an actual line on the earth. Just as you keep people out, you trap people in. Your imaginary line. Like the universe, God, or anything bigger then you cares about a line you draw. People flow like water, migrate when necessary and most every single person you ask at any time will tell you. They would rather be home then here
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is 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. To be eligible for the program, recipients cannot have felonies or serious misdemeanors on their records. Unlike the proposed DREAM Act, DACA does not provide a path to citizenship for recipients, known as Dreamers The policy, an executive branch memorandum, was announced by President Barack Obama on June 15, 2012. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) began accepting applications for the program on August 15, 2012.
In November 2014, President Obama announced his intention to expand DACA to cover additional illegal immigrants. Multiple states immediately sued to prevent the expansion which was ultimately blocked by an evenly divided Supreme Court. Under President Trump the United States Department of Homeland Security rescinded the expansion on June 16, 2017, while continuing to review the existence of the DACA program as a whole. Plans to phase out DACA were announced by the Trump Administration on September 5, 2017; implementation was put on hold for six months to allow Congress time to pass the Dream Act or some other legislative protection for Dreamers. Congress failed to act and the time extension expired on March 5, 2018, but the phase-out of DACA has been put on hold by several courts.
Research has shown that DACA increased the wages and employment status of DACA-eligible immigrants, and improved the mental health outcomes for DACA participants and their children. It also reduced the number of illegal immigrant households living in poverty. DACA has not been shown to have any major adverse impacts on the employment of native-born workers. Most economists say that DACA is a net benefit to the U.S. economy.
On August 31, 2018, District Court Judge Andrew Hanen ruled that DACA is likely unconstitutional. However, he let the program remain in place as litigation proceeds
