DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals it was brought by president Barack Obama in 2012, it allowed immigrants to have a work permit and get a drivers licence, it let them finally know what it was like to legally work and drive. In “The Looming Uncertainty for Dreamers Like Me” by Ricardo Aca he argues that he’s in fear due to the action president Donald Trump has taken, which is, removing DACA. He then argues about not being able to get a licence, a state Id, and not being able to apply for virtually any scholarships.To back this up he uses repetition, anecdotes, as well as sadness.

It makes all the readers think before making a comment. As he mentioned, receiving DACA isn’t taking your blessings for granted, but it is an advantage. This advantage also comes with struggles, for example, everything you need to have in order to get accepted to receive DACA.

Beginning his speech with stories from his own family – his father, a Cuban immigrant who worked his way to success; his mother, the first to attend college in her family and a software innovator in a time when women were discouraged from career aspirations; his wife, a successful businesswoman; and his own struggles to work and pay his way through college – Cruz illustrates the American Dream. “These are all of our stories,” Cruz said. “These are who we are as Americans and yet, for so many Americans the promise of America seems more and more distant.” Cruz explained the pillars of his platform, promising to repeal Obamacare and Common Core, to seek immigration and tax reform, to stand with Israel, and to defend the unborn, gun rights, privacy, the Constitution, and religious freedom for all Americans.

He uses the peoples’ stories that he has met around the world to convey their struggles, how hard it is for certain people all over the country to thrive in America with the problems that we have. Obama states “more to do for the father that I met who was losing his job and choking back the tears, wondering how he would pay 4500 dollars a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits that he counted on.” Using this sad case of a father crying, because he can not afford the necessary medicines to save his son’s life because he doesn't have the health benefits he was told he would have really paints an emotional picture in the audience’s mind. This statement also lets Obama show the audience how if they vote for a democrat in office, they will fix these health problems, and there won’t be any more cases like the father and his son. Obama also states “more work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs--and now having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour.”

This program was introduced by President Barack Obama in 2012 and was aimed at protecting people who were brought to the United States under the age of 16 from deportation.

An example of this is simply getting a driver’s license. Obtaining a driver’s license as an illegal immigrant is presently against the law. The opposing side believes that if illegal immigrants are able to obtain a driver’s license, then they may submit fake documents and use aliases, which defeats the purpose of proper identification.
