DACA or deferred action for childhood arrivals program
should end because the Trump administration decided to end DACA since they
realized that never in US history had the government offered protection to so
many people who didn’t have the opportunity to get full legal status in the
United States. Hence, though the government has a lot of power to shape
immigrants’ lives but it is never had perfect control over who immigrates to
begin with it. Many times as not when politicians try to reconcile law and
reality, the result is that the law gets changed to bend to the reality.
However, it is not that the reality is changed by enforcing or changing the
law. Undoing or ending DACA would perhaps widen the gulf between reality and
law. This gulf in some ways would broader than it is ever been before. Moreover
Trump saw that with DACA hanging in balance, America has group of people on the
verge of being social integrated but legally isolated, social championed but
legally victimized, in which this way they have never really seen before.
