I stand with DACA because no human is illegal. I stand with DACA because everyone who wants to get an education deserves to get it. I stand with DACA because it's inhumane to send people to a country they don't know or understand. I stand with DACA because it gives people a new opportunity and hope. I stand with DACA because no one should live in fear.

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is a program that was instated during Barack Obamas presidency, which allows immigrants who were brought into the country as children. A program which has given thousand of immigrants a chance for a better life, a life that they deserve. It has allowed them to be able to apply for homes, continue their education past the high school level, buy a car, and so many more things.

Don't get it twisted, DACA recipients haven't received a "free ride". They may be able to get accepted into certain universities and colleges but they still don't qualify for FASFA. There's also a notion that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes and that's false. Also this isn't a means for citizenship but a work permit that allows for their progression, it's not a become-a-citizen-quick-pass.

Taking DACA away is cruel and unjust. How dare you punish these people for something they had no say in. Punish them for wanting to have a better a life that their parents dreamed for them and actually got see it happen only for the possibility that it might be snatched away by the signing of a piece of paper. How would you feel if one day your whole live was taken away from you and you could nothing? Would you not want someone to fight for you? That's why we have to fight for them. Not only because you would want someone to do the same for you but because it's right.
