Friend, DACA is never going to be enough. Not for the millions who never got to apply, and not for the millions more who were never eligible, like my little sister.
Immigrant youth are living in limbo — either living with temporary DACA protections (which will likely be in front of the Supreme Court before long) or no protections at all.
If she had DACA protections, my little sister would be able to go to school and get financial aid. Her immigration status wouldn’t get in the way of applying for jobs, and she would be able to live her life free from worrying about deportation.
DACA is life-changing, friend. But now more than ever, it’s not enough. Millions of undocumented immigrants are shut out of the program. Even DACA recipients can’t rest easy, as the case is likely headed to the conservative Supreme Court.
We need permanent protections now — so we can apply for jobs, get an affordable education, access health care, and live our lives proudly and free from the threat of deportation.
United We Dream Action was part of the coalition that helped win DACA back in 2012, and now twelve years later we’re leading the charge to secure a pathway to citizenship for ALL undocumented people.
This fight isn’t easy, which is why I’m asking for your support: Will you chip in $10 or more to join our immigrant youth-led movement and support our fight for permanent protections?
