=There needs to be an End= DACA stands for Deferred Action for Children Arrivals.This federal government program was established in 2012, by President Barack Obama. DACA provided roughly 800,000 undocumented immigrants to be able to stay in America, get their driver's licenses,go to college,and get the opportunity to live the “American dream”.When Obama signed off on the program it gave so many immigrants an opportunity to come to the United States and get into an Ivy league,have a chance to become the best doctor,teacher,nurse even lawyer.It gave so many immigrants an opportunity to give themselves and their future ch ildren an opportunity of a great life.But like they say all good things come to an end.Unfortunately,the dreamers(DACA)do not have a chance to dream anymore.

One September day in 2017,President Donald Trump called an end to dreamers.Trump claims,It is not because they are terrible people,but the Obama administration,ignored the “rule of the law”,and we are just properly enforcing laws from congress.This is why the DACA program is being terminated,and Trump plans to deport about 787,580 immigrants that we enrolled in DACA. As of September 2017, that was when the dreamers stopped dreaming about an amazing and beautiful future,but started fighting for their rights,for the government t o stop Trump and to be in the dreamers favor.To help them stay in America and keep living their lives.

If DACA does get revoked it will take a family member of mine and it will hurt my family and I,but it will not just affect my family,it will also affect so many others,and their loved ones.So many happy lives being destroyed.So many opportunities being lost.One DACA student could do something amazing living in the United States,but once they go back to the country they were born in,that amazing thing could disappear and won’t be discovered until years later,or even ever.Th is also can affect other immigrants that Trump wants to send back.

I am a descendant of immigrants and it pains me to see other immigrants being deported for no good reason.It hurts to see the protests of so many and their voices not being heard. On March 5,2018 was suppose to be the end of DACA,and it wasn’t,so I hope that this means that their voices were heard,and Trump has changed his mind,and that so many wonderful people get to stay.
