The Immigration Dream
Have you ever wondered what is it like to live a life as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient? Let me tell you from experience what this is like. A DACA recipient is an undocumented person who came to the U.S. as a child and was granted protection under the DACA program. The program was passed in 2012 by the Obama administration and allows the recipients to be protected from deportation for two years. After those two years are over recipients may apply for renewal. Imagine that after years of living in the shadows, you are given the chance at the American dream. You obtain a Social Security Number and a valid working permit, which allows you to work, get a driver's license, and go to school legally. …show more content…

The election of President Trump brings forth a darker time to the DACA recipients as he vowed to end the program. At that point, these individuals who thought that they were nearing their goal of becoming normal, contributing members of society are halted. They are again going to be casted into the shadows of an underground America.
I know that reality very well because a year and a half ago I was a DACA recipient . I was lucky to find a solution to my immigration status, but nearly eight hundred thousand DACA recipients do not have the same luck as me. They will be facing deportation if something is not done immediately. How do we solve the problem that will tear families apart, and deport innocent individuals back to a country they barely know? The solution is to pass an Immigration reform that allows them to stay in the United States permanently. This solution includes paying a

The government doesn't give the applicant anything but a chance to prove themselves worthy of being able to stay in the country to pursue their dreams. Whether it is an immigrant who graduates college and invents something new, or an immigrant soldier who helps defend the country, anyone who benefits from the DREAM Act will be a benefit to us all. As one might expect, the highest support of the DREAM Act comes from Latino voters.

Many of these narratives which they not only showcase in their website newsroom, but also in their various social media platforms, are of students and the youth that have benefitted from DACA and in their stories, they talk about how their lives have changed thanks to DACA. One particular artifact that I want to bring attention to is a powerpoint presentation from 2014, which is two years after DACA was passed, that is titled “Owning the Dream”. Not only are feature stories showcased in this presentation, but there are also many statistics of just how DREAMers have been positively impacted. By presenting the success stories of many individuals throughout the years that DACA has been implemented, United We Dream is able to show not only those that are anti-immigrants, but also the government itself, especially those legislators who are trying to oppose the implementation of the program. Similarly, in the recent Supreme Court hearing of Texas v. United States, regarding the expansion of DACA to DACA+ and the approval of DAPA, United We Dream provided an Amicus brief in favor of the United States in which they also featured many success stories of many individuals who have attended higher education and are now productive members of society, or they are head of households who are helping their families have a place to sleep and eat.

Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants come to the United States each year. Many of them come with the dream of getting a better education and coming to see a reality of opportunities that they do not receive back in their country. Because they are not documented, they cannot apply to colleges or further their success in life. Even though throughout their lives, their parents would always say “Education is the key to a successful life”, there is a policy that gives hope to these immigrants.

The idea that no matter who you are or where you have come from, you can do whatever it is you desire in America.
