- Protection from deportation and the chance to work have been life-changing for DACA recipients. Will Trump get rid of it?

The most consequential decision President Donald Trump made on immigration in his first year in office wasn’t about the wall, or who’s going to pay for it, or anything else he talked about incessantly on the campaign trail.
It was his decision to announce, on September 5, that his administration would be winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program - a program he didn’t mention outright, that many people didn’t know about and even fewer understood.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which has protected nearly 800,000 young adult unauthorized immigrants from deportation and allowed them to work legally since 2012. The immigrants protected through DACA grew up in the US; people might not assume they are unauthorized immigrants, and they might not have even known it themselves until they were teenagers. The program was supposed to give them a chance to build a life here.
Now, DACA is on the chopping block. Trump, under pressure to make a decision about its future before September 5 (the day a group of Republican state officials were set to sue over its constitutionality), has decided that no one new will be protected under the program - and that those currently covered will start to lose their protection and work permits on March 6, 2018.
The prospect of DACA’s demise is throwing the program into sharp relief: calling attention to the “DREAMers” who’ve been able to benefit from it, and the ways in which their lives have been changed over the past five years.

If you're watching this video in June 2020, the Supreme Court has ruled to preserve protections for hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients. Read more: bit.ly/2YfKB49
The decision marks the culmination of a years-long legal battle over Trump’s decision to terminate DACA back in September 2017.
LETS GOOOO
So if they did that when can new applications be submitted?? Do you know that ? Any information
It will be overturned. Then the DACA maggots will be deported.
@@evagelosdrinis7656 that wouldn't be democratic. Where is your wall now?
Ok
All i know is if i was one of those kids who was brought here at a very young age and called that place my home, i would be devastated to here this news about DACA. I mean, there isn't any other place that i can call home
exactly
Corsica yeah let's deport you to a country where you have never been to and have no friends there. Let's see how much you enjoy that lifelong trip
Corsica Then leave, you fucktard.
People migrate all the time and find new homes.
It's different when you're forcefully moved to somewhere you absolutely know nothing.
I'm a DACA Recipient and I came to America at the age of 3. I had heart diseases and I came to America because If i stayed in Korea the doctors wouldn't be able to save me. I had open heart surgery at the age of 5 and now I live in America ever since. I currently work in an animal shelter thanks to DACA and I'm pursuing Environmental Studies as an undergraduate. I'm really grateful that america saved my life but It just makes me depressed that now, our home America which was suppose to be a land of opportunity now ostracizes us. Hopefully congress can pass some legislation that protects us Dreamers but whatever happens America will and always will be my true home.
Taewoo Kim See how no one says anything to you about going back to your country? Not one comment telling you you're an illegal human being. You have heart problems & still won the daca illegal human lottery by not being from central of south America.
Taewoo Kim Come back legally or go help your country witch needs you more
Fix your grammar before you decide to call other people illegal immigrants. People like Taewoo are the backbone of the American society that allow you to be this lazy.
How about you go back and fulfill your mandatory military service like a real man instead of abandoning your homeland? you can always come back LEGALLY.
This person was 3 when they came here. Do you remember anything from when you were 3? Taewoo's HOME is AMERICA.
Are you in the military Maria or ready to fight a war for Sesame Street (something you remember from being 3 maybe)? If not, then you have no right to call him out.
The amount of viciousness and cruelty I'm seeing towards dreamers is appalling. Seriously, just imagine if you woke up tomorrow and discovered your parents illegally immigrated from Mexico, or Sweden, or Africa, etc. You've been a proud American your whole life, and now half the country is telling you to "go home" to a place that's not your home all because of your parent's decisions.
Have a little empathy people...
More emotional dribble, use facts for goddamn once
Paradise Lost They are illegals but before that they are people human beings for gods sake. If their parents brought them in an age where they don't even understand. Then it wasn't their choice or fault to pay. They shouldn't be forced to go back to a place they don't know with no support. How do people forget that we all belong to the same species and are all God's children before we are americans or of any other nationality.
Tristan Neal OK, you're an awesome person. Too bad you're not the president, but your compassion for others is commendable.
Too bad, so sad. If your parents steal my Rolex and give it to you as a gift, you don't get to keep it when I catch you. You do not, or should not, go to jail, but you certainly do not get to keep my watch. Sorry, not my problem your parents are dishonest criminals. I don't think you should be deported, but you damn sure shouldn't be entitled to any kind of social benefits and most certainly should NOT be allowed to vote.
The children DACA protects had no choice on whether or not they came here, and yet you are asking for them to be punished. No empathy.
The CraziTiger Except that many of them are completely unaware of their illegality? On top of that, it's completely unfair to ask somebody who has been raised in this country, contributed to this country, and in many cases know nothing but this country, to move to a place they have no identity in or may not have ever memorably been in. Expecting that of them is lunacy and cruel-heartedness.
Tyler Alex but isn't that exactly what their parents did when they came here? No nothing about this country? No memories no identity?
Ikr. It's too harsh
yeah have fun going back to a country you've never known and you probably don't even know the language. How easy exactly do you think it is dude?
+Tyler Alex how horrible to ask someone to go home after overstaying their welcome
Oh surprise surprise not every immigrant is Mexican huh
DJ50ACES it's just that 50% of illegal immigrants are from Mexico
nate hollar Nah, much more are from Mexico, although Canadian illegal immigration. If there is any, should also be stopped, any illegal immigration should be stopped
nate hollar
Most illegal immigrants are coming from Central America, not Mexico.
The Brookings FOIA data show that DACA applicants were born in 192 countries, and that there are 25 countries with at least 1,000 applicants who together accounted for over 96 percent of all applicants. In total, 74.9 percent of applicants were born in Mexico, followed by El Salvador (4.0 percent), Honduras (2.7 percent), Guatemala (2.5 percent), South Korea (1.5 percent), Peru (1.4 percent), Brazil (1.2 percent), Colombia (1.1 percent), Ecuador (1.0) and Philippines (0.7).
Regionally, Central Americans comprised 10 percent of the total, South Americans were 7 percent, Asians made up 4 percent, Caribbeans were 2 percent of the total, and those from all other countries made up the remaining 2 percent.
DJ50ACES we ar not playing lib word games ALL ILLEGALS SHOULD GO. you sir are racist for thinking the coversation is just about Mexicans.
That’s one screwed up country.
Makes you wonder who the people fear the most.
Nothing good comes from hate.
Which country, Venezuela?
Mak T - US of A.
What happened to the American Dream? Lost in the 50's!?
If the American Dream is dead then immigrants being kicked out is no big deal.
Steve Williams yes it is a screwed up country when illegals can get college degrees but citizens such as myself have to go without because the government didnt give me a handout. Now if you'll excuse me I need to scrub a toilet.
It's like Trump just does this to flip a middle finger to Obama and no other reason...
Muhammad Keita Well of course. His supporters get wet everytime he undo something a blackman did. It's quite obvious.
Thats exactly what he's doing, and we are all going to pay for it
Cause he black
No Trump is just following the laws already here, this bill was unconstitutional.
browniebizzle stop crying racism, Trump won a civil rights award from jesse jackson.
This hits hard to home... My parents also came here for a better from Portugal. They came here with nothing and have worked their whole lives so my sister and me can pursue higher education. My father has worked construction for the last 30 years and can probably run laps around the younger guys, my mother has worked in a factory for the last 25 as well, however we were never illegal, they followed the rules waited and worked for it after years of having a green card I helped my parents become Citizens of The United States of America a few months ago, I couldn't be more proud. I will also be graduating in the next few months with my Bachelors in Science of Nursing. God Bless this country in providing us for these opportunities, I am hoping to give back.
Andre Costa how did they work without a green card?
I never said they worked without a green card, i said years of having a green card they finally became citizens, they always had it when they were working
Andre Costa Amazing story, disgusting how illegals disrespect real immigrants by even coming over, I do however respect proper and productive Immigrants
it's called a visa work permit....
Ask them more...because they something missing. Ask them how they feel about DACA..
Children should not be punished for their parents mistakes.
Tomboy - bullshit. lets hang those bastards and make this country great again.
Jay I just know youre a troll. You must be.
Jaythepirate Roberts We hope you were saying that in a sarcastic way. If not, then keep your inflammatory bullshit to youself.
What is wrong with you? What's great about murdering people for no good reason? Are you a monster?
Tomboy True but they should not be forgiven for their parents faults, they must be punish for it, cause their parents did it, someone got to pay.
I feel that DACA would literally be the perfect thing for Donald Trump.
"Only young immigrants (who were forced to come, *not willingly*), who MUST have a clean criminal record and MUST have an certified education."
James Burgess he's not against dreamers
He's against processing this illegally. DACA was not a path towards citizenship. It was merely a bandaid Obama placed since congress isn't doing their job. But this was only a bandaid, eventually congress would've had to rule out DACA because it is against the law to use executive power to bypass the legislative branch which is what Obama did.
The DREAM Act on the other hand, is a path towards citizenship. But it is not yet a law.
Trump hasn't called for a mass deportation. He's only called out the law breakers, which dreamers were brought here by their parents so they have no fault in this happening.
From the beginning, I researched that trump was going to give congress 6 months to pass a bill to help the dreamers. This fight is with congress, not the president. This is the push congress needed to finally get to work and help these people.
I'm not into protests, but If there should be any protests it should be towards congress NOT Trump!
Side note : before the comments come in about how hateful I am. My parents crossed illegally back in the 90s and I am a US born Citizen. My parents were deported when I was 18 and I have family under the DACA program. And I am a Trump supporter
And something I forgot to include. In the end, every decision made will revolve around money. It wouldn't make sense to not give the dreamers under DACA the opportunity to apply for a citizenship because many of them are working, have bought cars, homes and studied here. In the end, they would benefit the country economically as long as they are hard working productive Americanized people. It would cost way too much to just round up buses and ship them off to their countries.
We had the most deportations done under Obama, but he majority being deported have broken the law in some way and were caught.
The problem is he needs to incite fear in his ignorant base. DACA doesn't let him do that.
+JustDrummin24 But has President Trump or anyone in his administration even mentioned getting the DREAM Act passed through Congress now that DACA is being rescinded? If it has been laid out as a plan, then I'll be more understanding of Trump's actions. Otherwise, I'm certainly not in favor, even as someone who is generally supports stricter immigration policy (though, no, I don't support the border wall plans).
brendan95delany
Here is the full statement from Donald Trump made on Sept 5th.
He doesn't directly mention the DREAM Act, but mentions support for the dreamers and is pushing congress to help them in a way that benefits the dreamers as well as the American people. It's a little long 😆
"As President, my highest duty is to defend the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America. At the same time, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. But we must also recognize that we are nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws.
The legislative branch, not the executive branch, writes these laws - this is the bedrock of our Constitutional system, which I took a solemn oath to preserve, protect, and defend.
In June of 2012, President Obama bypassed Congress to give work permits, social security numbers, and federal benefits to approximately 800,000 illegal immigrants currently between the ages of 15 and 36. The typical recipients of this executive amnesty, known as DACA, are in their twenties. Legislation offering these same benefits had been introduced in Congress on numerous occasions and rejected each time.
In referencing the idea of creating new immigration rules unilaterally, President Obama admitted that “I can’t just do these things by myself” - and yet that is exactly what he did, making an end-run around Congress and violating the core tenets that sustain our Republic.
Officials from 10 States are suing over the program, requiring my Administration to make a decision regarding its legality. The Attorney General of the United States, the Attorneys General of many states, and virtually all other top legal experts have advised that the program is unlawful and unconstitutional and cannot be successfully defended in court.
There can be no path to principled immigration reform if the executive branch is able to rewrite or nullify federal laws at will.
The temporary implementation of DACA by the Obama Administration, after Congress repeatedly rejected this amnesty-first approach, also helped spur a humanitarian crisis - the massive surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America including, in some cases, young people who would become members of violent gangs throughout our country, such as MS-13.
Only by the reliable enforcement of immigration law can we produce safe communities, a robust middle class, and economic fairness for all Americans.
Therefore, in the best interests of our country, and in keeping with the obligations of my office, the Department of Homeland Security will begin an orderly transition and wind-down of DACA, one that provides minimum disruption. While new applications for work permits will not be accepted, all existing work permits will be honored until their date of expiration up to two full years from today. Furthermore, applications already in the pipeline will be processed, as will renewal applications for those facing near-term expiration. This is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out. Permits will not begin to expire for another six months, and will remain active for up to 24 months. Thus, in effect, I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act.
Our enforcement priorities remain unchanged. We are focused on criminals, security threats, recent border-crossers, visa overstays, and repeat violators. I have advised the Department of Homeland Security that DACA recipients are not enforcement priorities unless they are criminals, are involved in criminal activity, or are members of a gang.
The decades-long failure of Washington, D.C. to enforce federal immigration law has had both predictable and tragic consequences: lower wages and higher unemployment for American workers, substantial burdens on local schools and hospitals, the illicit entry of dangerous drugs and criminal cartels, and many billions of dollars a year in costs paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Yet few in Washington expressed any compassion for the millions of Americans victimized by this unfair system. Before we ask what is fair to illegal immigrants, we must also ask what is fair to American families, students, taxpayers, and jobseekers.
Congress now has the opportunity to advance responsible immigration reform that puts American jobs and American security first. We are facing the symptom of a larger problem, illegal immigration, along with the many other chronic immigration problems Washington has left unsolved. We must reform our green card system, which now favors low-skilled immigration and puts immense strain on U.S. taxpayers. We must base future immigration on merit - we want those coming into the country to be able to support themselves financially, to contribute to our economy, and to love our country and the values it stands for. Under a merit-based system, citizens will enjoy higher employment, rising wages, and a stronger middle class. Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue have introduced the RAISE Act, which would establish this merit-based system and produce lasting gains for the American People.
I look forward to working with Republicans and Democrats in Congress to finally address all of these issues in a manner that puts the hardworking citizens of our country first.
As I’ve said before, we will resolve the DACA issue with heart and compassion - but through the lawful Democratic process - while at the same time ensuring that any immigration reform we adopt provides enduring benefits for the American citizens we were elected to serve. We must also have heart and compassion for unemployed, struggling, and forgotten Americans.
Above all else, we must remember that young Americans have dreams too. Being in government means setting priorities. Our first and highest priority in advancing immigration reform must be to improve jobs, wages and security for American workers and their families.
It is now time for Congress to act!"
If DACA is such a huge problem atleast let the people who've been covered by DACA to apply for citizenship or SMTH.
ericx2151 Why? Please explain your reasoning.
ericx2151 Elaborate on that. What chances? To grow up here in America? If so, why should they go now, even though they grew up as Americans?
Im 25 and I was brought here when I was 7 and overstayed our visa. soon i learned I was one of these "illegals" and i was so scared. I grew up scared and was afraid to open up to people because I was a "criminal" and if anyone found out my family would pay. When I got older DACA was announced and i got my green card. I enlisted in the us army. I got married. I bought my first home last year. Now looking back at the hardships I went through and the childhood I was robbed of I wouldn't wish it on anyone. My heart goes out to the people who are going through this. Ill say a prayer for our country.
Matias Sobarzo i would like to tell you as a trump supporter and and served....you, your wife and kids if you have them should be granted immidiate citizenship upon honorable discharge...but i disagree with the DACA program...

How did you manage to get a green card before getting married? I thought that was impossible for a DACA recipient.
Matias Sobarzo I hope all goes well! I feel so bad you had to go through that at such a young age. It’s devastating that accomplished people like you, who have known this country for most of their lives, are at risk. It’s heart breaking.
@@molonlabe6274 Quite ironic considering that many people coming to the U.S. are doing the same things, or at least very respectable things in your eyes.
On average these kids were brought here when they were 6 years, it would be like growing up and finding out you're adopted and that half of your family don't care if you live.
People Are Saying I'm one of those 800,000 that were brought here. I was 3 and trust me it's worse than that. It's like finding out you're adopted and then half of your family doesn't care if you live or die and the other half is actually working towards ending you.
River Song good luck sucka
Now prioritize citizenship
And then finding out you're going to a country where your dollar is three times as powerful.
They aren't Americans, we didn't adopt them, they were left on our doorstep by irresponsible loser filth, that have no respect for our nation or it's laws.
Noah Roller That was the point of the law you had to have been here WHEN you were a child and have not committed 0 crimes. The law is recent so you expect new born babies that found a time machine in the past to apply now???
Why is there such a large dislike ratio, this is really informative, I barely knew anything about DACA before this
Elizabeth Schrader vox has a very narrow perspective . thread lightly from which news you read off :))
@@kensosa7447 That is true, but they're also not making unsupported value judgements or giving personal opinions. They're giving straightforward facts that are credible and verified. Yes, Vox tends to lean liberal, so they're not fully objective, but that's impossible when it comes to journalism. No news organization will ever be 100% objective, because no human will ever be 100% objective. What's important is the quality of the coverage they put out in terms of the credibility of their content. This video had quality because it was supported by well-verified information.
Sorry lol I'm a journalism major in college so I went a little crazy with the explanation, I hope it made sense.
It's just vox are real terrible source of news, just watch vox with a large grain of salt please.
@@Sho-np2qz they're bad that's why to understand a problem you should watch stuff from at least 4 sources with different biases. Let's say from the right to the left.
Fox, Bloomberg, CNN, Vox. It's a good way to see all of the opinions. (Fox is the worst imo)
Because they are incentivizing people to come here illegally I grew up around undocumented people they are regular normal people but It always bothers me how they build a huge foundation (have kids here start businesses depend on this country) knowing they can be deported any moment our immigration issue isn’t as simple as good and evil it’s complicated. I wish there was a simple solution but there isn’t one. any politician telling you that they have the answer and anybody opposed to it is racist is clearly selling you something.
"Then came Donald Trump..."
Ahhh i see
@@Dan-zt7uj the best president of Isreal. This clown did deported less people than Obamas first term. Not to mention the wall he promoted of a steel fence. People ended up climbing it with less effort. SAD.
This video isn't telling you that they are working on a replacement bill and it HAS to be done by March 5th, 2018. That's what they meant by "they are in limbo for months" DACA isn't just going to go away without a replacement.
How'd that replacement bill work out?
I'm here cause of David Dobrik 🙏🏼
Two years later I came here for the same reason.
@@zz.3061 1 month later I am here as well

Saurabh one day later I’m here for the same reason
I still don't understand why do people have so much hatred towards people that come to America in search of a better live, if they aren't hurting you, why hate them? We are all humans.
A lot of people keep commenting that they should come here legally by applying for citizenship, but to become a citizen is a long process. My friends mother applied for citizenship when she came to the United States from Honduras in the 90s. She still hasn’t gotten her citizenship. It’s a hard process.
Exactly, ppl act like it's something easy and quick but it's not and it takes time.
Why not marry a legal one ?
Illegal is illegal !
3:19 is basically all history text books will say about when they explain how well our country was doing up until 2016
Yeah we were doing GREAT just a few wars, and terrorist attacks here and there but SURE it was great
They will talk of him as a revolutionary
You mean 2017.
America is the land of opportunity! Anyone can make it here, regardless of your origin, parents, or financial situation. As long as you got that drive and work ethic, you'll live the dream!
Lol, jk. It's not the 30s anymore
James Burgess for a second I thought you were serious
James Burgess What's the point of us still calling America that when we push everyone away?
Well thats what people in the Late 18hundreds said but now?Now Its just that very Big country with that Marge Military That would crush North koreas one and You Pay there for Health and you cant Drink Tap Water wothout destroying your own Body really America is now just a lamé country
Requiem for the American dream it's a good documentary on this
That's true in most of the world too you know, not just america. Hard work, will and determination are the optimal qualities of humans not just americans. Common Sense™
My comrade in the US Army was from Bosnia (Croat) and he did already spent 8 years in the military, but they did not want to award him his citizenship. The advice that he received from the NCO's was to stay at least 12 years in order to get half of the pension, later on in life, because no matter where he ends up (USA or abroad), his pension will always help him.
This what I have been waiting for from Vox.
Explaining unfamiliar terms from USA to the world.
Love to see this more. Keep up the good work!
"White Americans, what? Nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out, you're an immigrant, too."

Ignoramus technically not an immigrant because I was born here. But yeah if you look at everyone based on past actions they had no control of then yes everyone is an immigrant.
When the Turk returns Western Armenia to my nation, when Nakhicehvan and Artsakh are made free, then I shall return. Some of us white people were DRIVEN here because of Turkish genocide, or Communists ruining our countries.
Jack Anti-White
I was born here. So no.
Jack White should fight Jack Black
All politics aside why is it fair for someone who enters the us illegally to get all these rights. I know no other civilized country that allows it.
mz204455 What DACA does is it gives people who came into the US illegally as children and have been here for at least 5 years the right to work and go to school. That is literally it.
GucciArzola, China and India abuse the system, their companies flood the H1B, H2A, and H2B visas to get a bunch of folks through... though I don't understand why you seem to think that Chinese and Indians have some sort of advantage, Mexicans alone have well over double their population here...
I came here when I was 11, now I'm 26. I haven't gone back to my home country since. I'm still an illegal immigrant, I'm a high school drop out, I didn't apply for DACA, I don't really need it. I have been working since I was 14 and paying taxes since I was 18. Now, I'm a contractor and own a small construction company. I have a 3 bank accounts own a home and a couple of trucks. Life in this country has been great for me, I'm thankful to be here and have opportunities even without an education, the American dream still exist for everyone legal and illegal. All you have to do is keep trying, never give up and work your butt off. For all my fellow immigrants being scared with the end of DACA, don't be stay positive, and just keep in mind that if there's a will there's a way. Never stop dreaming! grab life by the horns! and more importantly, for anything in life ,all you got to do is try and don't ever be afraid of failing. We all need to fail to learn from our mistakes so we can become the best person we can be.
Best of luck to you man, even though it sounds like you don't need it :)
Stay safe
IchimonjiBlade Tip of the hat to you.
IchimonjiBlade America and Americans first not illegals
No, there is no waiting line. If you want something you just go and take it, if you wait for anything you will never do anything with your life. Simple as that, there's enough for every single American in this country, legal and illegal Americans like me.
Ken93 he's basically an American as he has been there for a while since when he was a kid
Listen, I understand where you are all coming from. I do. My parents immigrated to this country too, but you have to realize that the world is not fair. You CANNOT save everyone from their pain and suffering. Could you imagine if all the wealthy and affluent countries just started taking in anyone who wanted to come? EVERYBODY would leave the poor countries, but chaos would ensue right after. When you accept people into your country, you also accept their problems. You have to look after yourself before you can look around you.
I can't handle the amount of ignorance in these comments, it doesn't take long to search for facts on the internet. So many people are quick to have an opinion on something they know nothing about. Educate yourself and let people live.
The Law is the Law. Obey it or suffer the consequences.
you haven't given a single argument there. you've just virtue signalled.
Levon Gevorgyan don't you get it? Many lives are going to be impacted for the worst. My mother came here illegally because she wanted a better life. She didn't come to sell drugs, or to rape or kill anyone, she came because she wanted her future to be better. She came here and worked her ass of at 15+ different jobs. No, immigrants aren't "stealing jobs". They're taking jobs at fast food restaurants or small shops etc. These are jobs you don't see many Americans do. All people want is a good life. Mexico isn't a very good place at the moment and people are trying to find a better life for themselves, they just want to be more successful. Most immigrants have no intention of harming anyone in any way. They're trying to get away from their toxic countries for the better, and trying to get to America legally is so hard, you need lots of money, and many jobs in Mexico don't pay enough. A lot of immigrants come from nothing, so you can't expect them to fly here legally. Please understand this :(

She didn't, but some people do come illegally for that.
Tad Strange And to prevent _those_ people from getting in, immigration laws should be improved.
Anyone’s here after davids vlog?
4.5 Million definitely seems like a bit much, but DACA right now should've stayed. I wouldn't mind moderate increases either. We need better people in this country.
You could literally explain this to an ignorant racist person and they would not care. Sad.
These people are close minded
If you logically try to identify who is at fault here ... it's the parents, not the government! DACA+ no child separation means open borders for families.
After being a manager of perhaps 50 employees from a large corporation for 15 years, I can easily say that immigrants are the hardest working people are by far. They are always the first ones to volunteer for overtime or for whatever else is needed.
There are other ways to come to America other than illegally immigrating
Templarkiller Make those ways as easy as coming here legally and you won't have to get so triggered when you see a Mexican enjoying life.
What are you talking about? Getting triggered when I see a mexican enjoying life? Why is that relevant, I have no problem with people being happy or being in this great country, but they should come here legally, that could be a mexican, or a french person, or a canadian, I don't care, illegal immigration is bad for the country, when the government doesn't know you are in the country but you are still here and taking full advantage of it's greatness, it is not fair for the immigrants who migrate legally, it is not about some stupid racism issue, it is about the legality of being able to take advantage of the countries benefits without even bothering to follow the law
Templarkiller the statue of liberty was literally a beacon of immigration once upon a time
It was a beacon of legal immigration though, which I have no problems with and I think it is great that people think America is worth coming to, they should just come legally
Nobody waits 30-50 years for an answer. If you don't like it when people get triggered for seeing a Mexican enjoying life, then stop pretending to be a Mexican when it's convenient and either become a citizen of the United States or go back to Mexico. It's pretty simple.
I was brought here to America as a undocumented immigrant by my parents' effort. *They died to get me here.*
I can't believe I can't complete my parents' wishes. My parents back when I was a toddler had planned to get me here to America in pursuit of a better future. They risked their lives and was killed along the way of bringing me to America. My aunt continued and get me to where I am today in America. Although I am undocumented, I was able to go into Stanford University back in 2014. I hope I can sustain my tuition to Stanford and not get forcefully deported back to where I came from, Venezuela.
Update?
Well legally is the way. Cutting the line isn’t respecting the country.
.....so lemme get this straight, people go to country ILLEGALLY, bring thier children or have children there ILLEGALLY, most of these children's didn't even know they were illegal until early in thier adult lives, so they ruined thier child's life......and we should feel sorry for them, also SOMEHOW they aren't criminals....if you evade the law or break the law....you are a criminal my friend.
Cordale whitty im sorry to say but your right
This is what bugs me. He said that we bring crime, drugs etc, and that those bad men should go. DACA only enrolls people with a crime free record so they’re not criminals. He shouldn’t need to deport them because, like the video said, they’ve now perused much better jobs.
This is a very complex issue
Here is the problem. Having a DACA protection may be useful for people who are stuck in this situation who grew up here. But it is also incentive for more people to come illegally.
Also, how long do they have to live here as children before getting a pass?
I don't know how to answer your question but it got me thinking about a lot of things so I did some research. We issue about 600,000 green cards per year, and give about the same number of people citizenship. There are 4.5 million people trying to get green cards through normal channels, and there are 11 million trying to win a "green card lottery" which is easier to apply to and anyone can win, but is extremely unlikely to. There are 50,000 winners per year. So at least 15 million people want green cards or citizenship which is 5% of our population. At the same time, it will take 25 years for people currently applying to get here, if no one else applies in the meantime. No wonder we have so much illegal immigration. I think we could smoothly handle a few percent of our current population per year, but we handle 0.2% per year. Talk about broken. Still, in japan it's way lower. Seems like about 10,000 foreigners became naturalized japanese citizens per year. We are so far ahead!
This is my best friend in this situation right now. We went to undergrad and grad school together. During those years she worked with her mother in her mother's business and studied. Now we graduated and she found a good paying job and is getting ready to take her license exam and this happened. Like, what is she supposed to do now? Her fiancée also relies on this program. If this program is successful suspended, what are they supposed to do? Go back to their native country? They haven't been there in more than two decades, let along remember what it looks like. This is so upsetting I can't even put it into words.
If these dreamers were living happily, why would it bother some people. Sick.
@@Dan-zt7uj bro they literally came here children & you’re asking them to go back to a country they probably have no recollection of?
@@icelandisacoolcountry925 Or maybe the government should give them mandatory citizenship process.
Pray for DACA🙏
Unconstitutional? On what grounds? This is a pretty hilarious statement being that this Constitution was created for a country comprised mainly by immigrants. Being uneducated and not caring about being educated or not even wanting to aquire knowledge and information in this day and age is just ridiculous. I'm not even American and I know more about American culture than most ignorant Americans who have such a blatant disregard for human life and safety. This generalization that every immigrant goes to America to commit criminal acts can only come from a place of ignorance. I especially love when people say "They come to steal our jobs." or the "They come here and don't even work and live off my taxpaying dollars." Which is it, buddy? Either they have all the jobs or have no jobs at all. Can't be both. Quit being so bigoted and start developing a heart and, hopefully, a brain to match.
Thanks. I like my ass too.
Native Americans were slaughtering each other way before Europeans stepped foot on America.
You’re great thank you sooo much for this
Knight of Pencils
*Everybody* did that boi you really think Europeans didn’t fight each other? Please!
Lewis C. By entering the country illegally, they're literally commiting a crime. Are you dense?
Never go to any country illegally. There is nothing worst than living in a country without rights.
Good. Send them all back.
Can someone who agrees and supports what Trump did to DACA explain to me why you support this and how this affects you? Please.
GucciArzola I couldn't agree more ! I can't stand people who say "they're taking away jobs from us" , if they went to college and are more than qualified than those who don't, how can they be taking jobs away from people who aren't even qualified for them ?
GucciArzola im mad at the 1million soc sec # stole by them in 2016...that comes straight from IRS....but they ar law abiding right?
I agree with him basically because he saved them... If he didn't do anything the program would've ended like DAPA did, these folks would've been deported immediately (or at ICE's leisure) and that would've been the end of it. Instead he ended it by giving the folks enrolled on it 4 months leniency (this will give Congress enough time to fix it hopefully, meaning that nothing will change for DACA recipients except they'll now have a pathway to citizenship)....
However, if it's phased out that's fine on me too. These folks didn't do anything wrong but their parents did... everyone else's relatives came here legally and the US accepts some 1 million per year.. Despite my sympathies for these folks their parents really screwed up... Most other countries would've either imprisoned them(like Mexico), enslaved them (like the middle east), or relegated them to slums/ concentration camps (like Europe and Australia). The US gave them defacto legal status and many States just let the whole thing slide. Long story short we've been MORE than merciful to these law breakers....
I hope it all works out for them, specifically for the DACA kids, the DAPA recipients should've done it legally.
GucciArzola ok id hear your argument, BUT we are talking about ILLEGALS, DUMB@$$. you claim they "Borrow", theaft is not borrowing,...lol....u truly are entertaining...
the carjacker was just BORROWING the car!!!!!!....
Re Re you do realize that these immigrants you talk about so poorly about work endlessly Jobs that you would never have the balls to want to do...
With DACA, ive had the privilege to go to college, have a job, a license and not get deported. I think what trump is doing is wrong. It's inhuman to separate families from each other.
In the eyes of every sane person you and your parents are criminals, no feelings needed, facts are already there.
Blazed UPP *inhumane
Blazed UPP we dont need to seperate them, that is inhumane, keep the kids with the parents...and send them back.
Factz Knight you do realize that with DACA she can stay her legally so your reply to this comment was stupid
I'm so proud of you I know you'll do great in life
If they did come to the US illegally, shouldn't they be deported?
When I used to stay in the US I had to apply for a visa, pay the fees and then wait for the answer, my Visa expired and then I went back home. I fail to understand why people that are effectively breaking the law by staying in the country illegally get so much simpathy.
exactly...my family took EIGHT YEARS to get their immigraiton status approved. We went through the tedious paperworks.
Why do others get a free ride?
Well, it takes years and money. So that's easy enough if you come here from a country that's not poor or war-torn.
So since you couldn't get citizenship as easily and quickly as them, they can't have it either?
Because some of them came young and against their will, and run the risk of being sent to a country they don't remember even living in?
Dan Achiriloaei They were brought here as kids.....and what "free ride" are you referring to?
This is ridiculous and i thought America was a place to pursue your dreams but no its just a place of pain.... This is so sad..
PURSUE YOUR DREAMS, LEGALLY!!!
Shaniya White, do you know any place where I can get free lunch? Do you know any airport where I can enter the aircraft and travel the world free? You write ridiculous. I bet you will never reply where free lunch and flight is available? You are full of shithole.
Shamiya White they are illegal aliens , they need to go back where they came from and do it legally and help the country they are in
only like half of daca receipents are latin. what about the the countries that extremely oppressive regime and dont allow people to even leave the country? sometimesI actually think some white people actually have something mentally wrong with them and just have such narrowminded fact-blinded thinking.
apply for citizenship and be a real american
3:44 his wig looks like it was blurred out lol
No, it's just fading out!
Yeah you explained it pretty well but you riddled it with a bunch of emotional bullshit that has nothing to do with the law. It was an unconstitutional Band-Aid that needs to be corrected by the house.
Just so the creators of this video know. You guys have inspired me to make a film on this issue and really made me passionate about this "limbo" these previously protected aliens are now facing.
Did you make the film?
Come to Canada, enjoy the 40 below !
And Imma be like "Oh hell no!"
GlennCocoGuitar too cold in Canada 😂
Canada has a harsher immigration system than the US though... When Trump tried to champion something similar to it here it was even compared to fascism and Nazism... Y'all even make a fuss about some 6,000 illegal immigrants arriving in 3 months (the US receives 4 times that amount 3 weeks... and that's from the averaged 840 person caught per day in February... down from the average 1,370 people caught per day last January ... notice how it's "Caught" btw.... ICE estimates that the US border patrol only catches about 50%... so yea)
Man, being an American kid from Latin descendant who's just starting college, I now better understand the dangers for my future in this country. It would be terrible if I got deported along with my family right at the start to a good future. My parents weren't joking when they said education is the key to success. College is more important now than it ever was before, especially if you're undocumented. This is why I thank God, my parents both earned their legal American citizenship papers back in 2009 when Obama was president. My siblings and I don't have to worry about anything. Thank God for Obama. Thank God for my parents taking action. Even though I am not affected by this, doesn't mean I don't care. Of course I care!
My friends and extended family aren't legal here. This is not going to stop crime by taking DACA away from very good, humble families who want nothing but to bring good life for their children and for them to go to college.
I see you've bought into the college joke. Not going to lose anything when we ship you back to Mexico.
dup I actually don't understand what you're trying to say here...
Okay, :52 seconds in and the video has already misled the viewer. When Juan says “...we sold all our toys, and embarked on this journey” Vox uses an image of a plane, to imply they just boarded a jet and came to America. So this family entirely composed of illegal aliens just flew into an international airport in the U.S.?!? Or is it more likely that they travelled overland from Venezuela, and crossed into America illegally from Mexico? This is the exact reason why it’s hard to trust large media corporations nowadays, because the story’s are all slanted one way or the other; but hey, don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Ezekiel : the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, the hypocrisy of right wing Christians is nauseating.
GucciArzola not all of us are
GucciArzola There is a difference between Catholics and other Christians you ignorant twit. Protestants don't give a crap about the Bishop of Rome. But we both believe in thesaying "render unto the Lord that which is the Lord's, and render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's".
Bloody Bill Anderson the Constitution gives way and path and is clear that the government should not obstruct foreigners seeking paths to citizenship, the founders were of christian faith btw.
A good rule of thumb is that whatever Vox claims the opposite is usually true.
Charles Darwin
Hahahahahhahhahahhahha of course Charles would say this.
he would also say there are only two genders
Last time I was this early England was my city
"...hinting that they were probably unconstitutional..." that's so dishonest...
The reason why DACA and DAPA are so contentious is because both programs were established by presidential executive order and not by congressional action. A federal district court in early 2015 issued an order to block the initiatives from going forward while the legal case proceeded. An appeals court affirmed the ruling and added a broader one, saying that the program also exceeded Obama’s statutory authority. Because the Supreme Court split the decision 4-4 (due to one judge’s recusal), the case gets remanded back to the highest appeals court and that decision is upheld.
These are the ONLY facts that matter
There’s really no benefit of getting rid of Daca ,and why not give the good Daca people citizenship .
My conservative teacher believes this too
COMING HERE ILLEGALLY IS "ILLEGAL"
Secret Service Agent actually 60% it “illegal” immigrants overstay visas which isn’t a felony , crossing the border is a felony tho.
TylerTheGamer then make it a felony
They are 2. You want to try them for a crime that there parents committed when they were 2?
Most illegal immigrants weren't given many options. Their homes were rendered as dangerous, and they came into America illegally because the process of legal immigration required time that they didn't possess. Separating illegal immigrants and sending them back to a hazardous and hostile environment is simply inhumane.
Ok?
wasn't daca allways a temporary provision?
YES! President Trump gave the socialist the opportunity to make the DACA people legitimate if they would help him stop ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Since they knew they would lose votes if they supported any kind of restriction on ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS they sold out the DACA kids and refused. They are the obstacle to reach a solution to DACA.
Steve Farris this is interesting and would like to get more information about this. Do you know of an article that speaks to what you’re saying? I honestly wouldn’t even know where to start. Thanks for the comment.
yes it lasted 2 years before you had to renew it again. it was the best the obama administration could do to please republicans
We have had 3 amnesties I remember. Each time they say in the future they will enforce the law, especially against employers who hire illegal aliens, driving down demand for our poorest workers. DACA is more of the same. You have been violating our law for so long, we give up. If you have no job and not much hope of getting one, take a look at the house with the garage sale they used in one of those videos. You will never own your own home. That nice place the illegal was in took one house out of our inventory. The 1% just want workers, they don't care about you. Having destroyed the unions, they can make a large pool of desperate people fight over lousy jobs and the remains of the middle class will kiss their feet in fear of the very real chance that they will be poor soon.
I feel sad for u guys tbh, I'm living in london
Brother the murder rate in London is worst then nyc bro worry ab you guys
The video is missing some important points.
1.The original purpose of DACA was to be a stop-gap until Congress can pass legislation to reform immigration; it was never intended to be a permanent solution.
2. Those who already applied for DACA can still be here legally until their permit expires. Those already here and who have applied prior to the cut off date (March I think) are still protected.
3. Videos like this that omit certain points and don't properly give the full story will mislead people. People need to be mad about this on both sides of the aisle, but need to direct their frustration towards Congress. We NEED immigration reform.
We NEED Congrational immigration reform for Americans on the left and right of the political spectrum. We NEED it for those future Americans already in this country. We NEED it for those people looking to escape their own countries.
Current policies fail on all these fronts which has created the issues of immigration today. It's a failure of policies and a lack of action by our representatives that has existed for decades.
Please direct your frustrations appropriately and demand real and permanent solutions from Congress for everyone.
Aaron Lee this comment need more like and should be the top comment!
think about it like this a boy and his mother legitimately waited months to receive there citizenship but they weren't accepted but a boy and his mother illegally moved and got into the daca program so they can live there which is more fair?
If you cannot relate to the feeling of being on edge with the outstanding possibility of being deported at any time just think about an individual who once used alcohol and now has stopped. After years pass he or she feels guilty for a different time in his or her life -- of risks taken and luck had. On top of it the personal responsibility toward himself and others still remains in his/her recovery. That is how it feels to be in a state of incompleteness. You are moving toward something but it all can mean nothing if the wrong thing happens again.
Damn. Many immigrants have more skill and determination to succeed than man of us.
You were brought to and lived in the US for 18 years. You've come to love the culture, people, and opportunities. This is your home. Tomorrow, you find out you're undocumented and are forced to go to a country you know nothing about. You don't know the people or the language. You had no choice in being brought to the US.
If you cannot see the value of DACA, you are what hinders the progress in the US we so desperately need.
Dakota Cuthbertson not our problem, Blame your parents you criminals
Not an illegal immigrant, born in the USA. But thanks. I believe its called . . . E M P A T H Y. You should try it.
Dakota Cuthbertson Empathy to immigrants got the Roman Empire killed
How's that empathy working out for Europe?
WOW! At a Student Walkout, Nancy Pelosi just said, SCREW THE DREAMERS... GRAB THE GUNS!!!
3:24 hmmmm, funny how they "forgot" to put in the last quote: "and some are good people"
This is the solution: blame your parents and do not blame the US.

12,903 DACA recipients have lost their status since 2012 due to criminal activity.
“Most DACA terminations were based on the following infractions : alien smuggling, assaultive offenses, domestic violence, drug offenses, DUI, larceny and thefts, criminal trespass and burglary, sexual offenses with minors, other sex offenses and weapons offenses,” ~ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
That's right 12,903 that is 12,903 to many!
Fun fact:
Illegals from the army can go to mexico and can help the mexican army to fight the drug dealers
sounds like a movie...
I have a soft spot for the dreamers. It wasn’t their choice. However the parents should be held responsible for breaking the law
David Ackley did you not watch the video ? A women was threaten with a gun over a car you’ll want to live like that ? Just because it’s a law doesn’t mean it’s correct we all want a better life and we need to stop putting people down because of it .
My family are all immigrants. We did our paperwork and we are all here legally. We never took a food stamp or free anything! How do you stay years in a country and not take the steps to become legal? Why didn't they do their paperwork? You can't just move to a country and stay. You overstay your visa, you are illegal.
Proud to stand next to you as an American
Some people don't have a choice but do whatever it takes to survive even if it means staying in a country illegaly.
...and dont forget the fees they charge us every two years! They still making money Thats all they care
Hey Vox, consult a dictionary before using words like "ambivalent," because you're using them incorrectly.
I bet our president doesn't even know what that means, he's to busy pointing out what a cow looks like.
You're wrong...they had mixed feeling is all she was saying ... look it up again 😒
SgtBaker16 How callous.
Lesson learned,don't move into another country ILLEGALLY.
#isupportdaca❤️❤️
It's an unconstitutional bill
Why did none/most of them not apply for citizenship while on this program and take the steps needed to not hide in the shadows?
and why do they deserve it. Do you really expect a 14 yr old kid (most of the time younger) to understand our absurdly convoluted immigration laws, accept themselves as illegal, then walk there asses to their country of origin against their parents wishes mind you. A lot of the time they don't even speak the language.
My Uncle filed for his residency/citizenship in the early 90's and it only took him about a year to get it and he never had to leave the US
GucciArzola good for you...we got one out
GucciArzola im glad they r putting your border hopping butt in the back of line...called consequences
GucciArzola said uncle not dad. And its not bogus
just when i needed a vox video on daca,vox gave it for me.thank you vox.
I was a liberal once...i was 15, i depended on my parents for food, clothes, health care, ect....., then i turned 18 and had to do it myself and make my own way...and my eyes were opened to the insanity of liberalism

That's why we love Vox.
Just deport them, it will grant more work for citizens that badly need it. More energy should be spent bettering those who are from the US and not trespassers.
Lol cause those unemployed citizens are without jobs cause of illegal immigrants.
Yeah, sure buddy.
To answer you, yes. Illegal immigrants and legals take an influx of low skilled labor jobs that citizens can and would do at a minimum wage. This has historically been the case for a while. This has never been much of a secrete. Why take more people in when we already have a labor force that is over staff.
A long long long long long.... Time ago peaple were aloud to live anywhere with out getting deported but look at us now 😢
My heart is breaking... I know so many people who are on their way to a better future because of this program. Seriously, I can't take this.
imagine your children being shipped of to a random place (not knowing their language) How would you feel?
Hong Le id feel horrible that i did that to them, but i would draw strength that we were still together
It’s illegal!!
If your parents snuck you into Disneyland and got caught. Is it Disneyland's fault for kicking you guys out or your parents fault for illegally sneaking you in?
If a man broke into your house cause he needed a place to stay would you let him stay or tell him to gtfo
Zero Fader Good thing the U.S. is a giant country and not a house owned by one person. Or else your analogy might make sense.
P.S. most of the west was owned by Mexico before the U.S. stole it.
Unless you were the neighbor and it didn't affect you at all
Zero Fader help them.
Zero Fader you can't get daca if you have any criminal record.
Zero Fader I'd help him....
American kids have dreams too...

MrAVENGER901 American kids are not getting kicked out of the country
Bye david....
Jaimin Patel well if David is illegal, bye bye! He doesn't deserve to take the jobs of legal immigrants, of which I know both.
LoopyTitan12 you both sound disgusting
Jay Sparkle How So? When I enter the job market I want to have an upper hand above these people who got here illegally. They're taking our resources. I take high offence to you saying that these people deserve to have equal rights to the immigrants, like myself who came here and is a dual citizen, who went through the process that Took time and money.
LoopyTitan12 well I mean we take their oil so... Plus the fact that you are an immigrant should make you feel something towards this program and the fact that you don't have any remorse for illegals proves my point even more what have you done to earn a citizenship in america they left their country to be safe the kids of the parents who make that decision have nothing to do with it illegal minors who were brought to America didn't make the decision to be undocumented I personally think it's disgusting how someone can just send them back like they deserve to be here more than them
Jay Sparkle when did America invade Mexico for their oil
Hope ICE is doing OT. I don't owe an explanation to an illegal
