My opinion has remained the same about the DACA issue after learning more about it. My standpoint on the issue is that the DACA program should continue to offer citizenship and other benefits such as the ability to get a drivers license. It is unfair to the DACA children who were brought here at such a young age that they had no say in the decision to migrate to the United States; They are being punished for an extraneous cause that they didn’t choose to be apart of. It is shocking that people have to go through such brutal hardships at such a young age, and I hope the future is better for them.

My reaction to the “Dear Trump: I’m a DACA Kid- and Here’s What You’re Doing to Us,” is empathy. I can understand Maria’s feelings and how hard it is for her and her mother to live and survive everyday in the United States. The feeling of telling someone everything is alright, but not knowing yourself is a horrible feeling. You can only hope and pray that everything will be alright after you’ve tried your very best to your ability.

After reading “Dear Mr.Trump” we both feel that you are just the same as anyone else in the United States whether you were born in the country or not. Families deserve a right to have a chance and start a fresh start.

my reaction to the letter is sad. it seems unfair that those people who may have no even known they were illegal immigrants arent able to get a good job or education or risk getting deported to a country they may know nothing about and may risk danger going back.

My opinion did not change much as I listened and watched the parts of this issue. It was very interesting learning the details of it though.

My opinion on the DACA is the same I think iit's a good idea for this progran to help people who are in America even if it wasnt their choice.

I agree with moisty boi trump

My reaction to the " Dear Trump: I'm a DACA kid-and here's what you're doing to us" is just crazy because it give a really good perspective on how some immigrants live their lives and how what Trump is affecting their lives.

My reaction to the “dear trump” paper was it seemed like they didn’t realise that trump wasn’t hating the immigrants who are trying to work and who are in school but he doesn’t want the illegals who are causing issues and are criminals

Q1- I learned that deca isn't either good or bad. Q2 I didn't really have an opinion. Q3 ?.Q4 I feel bad for all of the DACA kids that would have to go back

My opinion after reading the “Dear Trump” letter has remained almost exactly the same. People lack empathy for these families which in their case is crucial. Imagine if these families were your own. These children could do everything right and still they would be punished for something that is well out of their control. I don’t understand why Americans are so entitled and selfish with land that wasn’t ours to begin with. My heart aches for the families effected by DACA being taken away and I hope that soon you won’t have to live as if you are the problem.

i think it can be a win lose situation. yes we can help people and make them become a legal citizen and get them schooling and help them out. but once the word gets out more and more illegal immigrants will come and to have a kid so they can grow up as a legal citizen.

My reaction to Dear Trump: I'm a DACA kid. I think it is unfair because they are being told a lot of things to get there hope up and Congress or the surpreme court will not pass it.

My opinion hasn’t changed about DACA. I still believe that we should have DACA since it helps so many young immigrants born in the US with finding a path to citizenship and being able to have a future living in the United States. After hearing the “Dear trump: I’m a DACA kid”
Makes me upset in the decision trump has made since it tells you what may happen to the children if DACA is no longer here. Forcing anyone to leave the only place they have known isnt right.

He did say he was going to do something but nobody really believed he would get rid of DACA but then he does and everyone acts shocked like he never even said he was gonna do it

Dear trump: I’m a daca kid, it made me think of how fortunate I am and it made me understand what they’re going threw and what they feel. How scary it is. And I could never imagine myself or my family going threw something so stressful and scary as the daca kid did.

# data[].attributes.body

my Reaction to dear trump made me think about a person who a is a very good friend of mine who also has daca and risks deportation. It is shocking to me to find out about the reasons why people leave their countries for a better life.
My opinion on daca stayed the same because children deserve the right to dream and have a successful life, it isn’t their fault and it isn’t their parents either. Life in a less developed country is more difficult and everyone wants to be happy

my reaction to the “Dear Trump: im a DACA Kid” letter was that i was surprised i was not expecting to hear what i heard and it goes to show that some people will carry through on what they say and some won’t. this letter pointed out the problems that human beings can have in their lives that most people don’t notice. an organization being stopped in the U.S. can bring alot of painto different families.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that using a merit system would be better than the system now because there are a lot of unemployed illegal immigrants and if trump is willing to make people who work legal immigrants that is fine but the people who aren’t working should stay illegal and have no need to be a legal citizen here if they aren’t paying taxes or working and benefiting our country in any way

# data[].attributes.body
My reaction to dear mr trump is that she should not have to lose her life’s work because her mother moved here

# data[].attributes.body
The letter to Trump helped me realize how people of DACA are influenced by the program. People should not have to lose the good life they have lived in the US for nothing

I do agree with Trumps bill though the wall is a tough sell these people do deserve a path to citizenship and that peoples ability should be taken into account when it comes to obtaining a visa. Also, although all people enjoy having their family around them they shouldn't be allowed to bring everyone here it needs to be a give and take kind of system and if you want to come to America you need toaccept that you may not be able to bring all of your extended family.

# data[].attributes.body
My opionion didn’t change from what I thought about DACA before, I think that if you are in america and you don’t do anything wrong you should be able to stay and be treated how everyone else gets treated. Also you should be able to get a job and go to college if you meet the requirements.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that he is still giving a path for these immigrants. He says here would love to add all of them to be citizens. This shows that Trump isn’t trying to get them deported, but here wants congress to acts and I think that is smart.

# data[].attributes.body
The “Dear Mr. Trump” letter really showed me a good example of how stressful their lives can be and some of the risks that they have in their everyday life as a DACA kid. I feel bad for them because they do not always know of what their future will hold.

Trumps 3rd pillar for the immigration reform, moving to a merit system, sounds like a really good idea. This will help prevent illegal immigrants from reaping the benefits of the previous system. We need productive people in our society... Immigrants or not.

These children who were brought here by their parents when they were only toddlers, if not infants, didn’t have a choice to come here or not. For some, it was to find hope and to make a better life for themselves. When they come here, they want it to be this idealistic world where they show up, and everything gets better. But for most, that’s not the reality. They wait many many painstaking years to even attempt to become a citizen. And even after the process is done, they still could be denied citizenship. All they want is to have a better life than the one they left. It’s not fair that they can’t be given the same opportunities but have to go years attempting to get there.

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion did not change from learning more about the issue. I still believe that DACA should exist to help immigrants become a United States citizen. My reaction to the letter was that it was nice to hear from an undocumented immigrant and to hear their side of the story.

I feel bad for Maria because she has grown up in the United States for the majority of her life. She doesn’t know very much at all about Mexico and has been successful in her education. She has been worried about being deported the majority of her life and is still fearful what might happen.

DACA is a program to help immigrants brought into the u.s during childhood to be given a second chance at earning their u.s citizenship or give them a way to earn their rights as a citizen. I believe that this program is very helpful both in the way of giving people who feel and believe they are a u.s citizen a chance to identify as one too. I also believe that the letter to Trump is a good representation of what kind of people programs like DACA would assist.

# data[].attributes.body
The “Dear Mr. Trump” letter helped me realize how hard people in this situation have it. They have to live in the shadows afraid of anything and everything. I can’t imagine not being able to speak about my childhood and where I was originally from because I was afraid of being deported to a country I hardly know anything about. A place that I don’t speak or write in the same language. I didn’t realize how many people’s dreams were crushed when Trump turned his back on the people working so hard to make a life for themselves. I now realize that illegal immigrants have it a lot harder than I first thought.

Jessica-
My opinion didn’t change. I still think we should keep DACA and it is good for the child immigrants

my reaction to the letter was very sad. it, to me, seems unfair that based on their parents decisions, they are unable to get a good job or education. odds are their parents came to this country so their children could have a better life and more opportunities and their being deported to a place they may know nothing about or dont even speak the language that most people speak in that country. its sad.

My opinion stayed the same after I learned what DACA really was , I have some pros and cons about it
