I believe DREAMers/DACA Recipients Should be Defended! What do you think?
Hi everyone, Here are some thoughts I have. I wonder what you think? Defend Dreamers? 1. Yes, defend the cause of undocumented young people enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programme. DACA was started by former US President Barack Obama and his administration in 2012. Yes, d efend DACA recipients who are seeking a pathway to US citizenship. Stand for those who live terrified of being removed from the country they so dearly love (America/the US/often the only home they have ever kn own). Defend the opportunity for the young people to be heard, not as criminals but as individuals who have lived in the US since childhood. Defend the reality that not all DACA recipients arrived in the US 'undocumented'. Yes, defend them according to US Law. 2. DREAMers are too often accused of being illegal immigrants. Yet, they were children (many were babies) when they entered the US. Why should they stand accused of a crime they should not be held accountable f
