Many DACA recipients have been able to carve out precarious but productive lives over the last decade, becoming doctors, engineers, nurses, and working in myriad other critical professions, including as essential workers during the COVID pandemic. The time to legalize their status is long overdue, but it has become even more imperative with Trump’s threats to set up detention camps across the country before removing millions of undocumented people if he becomes president again.
Dreamers will be an easy target. Because they are already registered with the federal government, Dreamers will be among the easiest to find in a mass roundup of illegal immigrants, and they’re unlikely to get favored treatment in a new Trump administration.

Thank you bipartisanship worshipping moderates of the Obama administration who assured us Republicans weren’t all soulless monsters, this is a very cool and not at all predictable turn of events /s
Yes, let’s blame the people trying to improve the lives of immigrants in the USA instead of the #fascists that are loudly saying they will use DREAM as a weapon.
Because that makes perfect sense (if you want Trump re-elected).
I can definitely blame the ppl trying to improve when they try to negotiate with ppl who deny reality. At some point when you’re trying to compromise with the naked man throwing his own shit a cars in a Walmart parking lot you need to question your own intelligence
Reading up on the DREAM act is one of the most frustrating things you can do. It has been tried and failed a ridiculous number of times over the past few decades.
