DACA Commentary

The New Word wrote a commentary about a program created by Ex-President Obama under the name DACA. I did enjoying reading this as it is a important issue that is going on in the nation since President Trump became the current officeholder.

They talk about the wonders DACA has done for people and why it is so important to people. As how it's been eliminated to prevent undocumented immigrants to live a better life, it's not fair to human beings. Being born into this world should grant you the right to live a better life no matter the status of your citizenship.

As I do have 2 close friends currently under DACA, they do live in fear that anything could change their status. While they do not have the official status of an American, they are able work and provide for themselves and family under this program. They do live in fear knowing if any wrong move can jeopardize their well being. One of them had their mother deported about 2 years ago during the raids from ICE. DACA allows for people to create a better life for themselves and their kids, allowing them to work for the better and continue an education even though they don't hold an American citizenship.
