In 2012, when former President Obama couldn’t get approval for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) as a law, he went ahead and issued the program as an Executive Order which allowed about 800,000 children to stay in America!
However, this was not a permanent decision. Now DACA is being challenged, claiming the program is not a law and therefore illegal. DACA is now on hold for six months in it’s original form and, in my opinion, must be made into a Law ASAP! These children grew up in America with American values and now as young adults are working in many different fields: private industry, armed forces, etc. in the only country they know!
President Trump and Congress (Democrats and Republicans) are busy working to find the best legal solution to solve the DACA problem ASAP within the six month time limit.
I’m very optimistic that our country will not let these innocent DACA kids down and I hope the legal decision will be one that will give them the chance to repay the country they grew up in, learned to love and honor – the country they hope to one day legally call their country – America!
