#DefendDACA

Written by Stacey Khizder

Jeff Sessions has announced that the Trump administration plans to rescind DACA, a program found under the Obama administration, which protects 800,000 undocumented children and young adults from deportation.

As a result of ending DACA, 800,000 young immigrants who depend on the program will no longer have access to higher education education, be able to pay bills, get a job, and contribute to the U.S. economy. As all DACA recipients have a clean-record, ending the program is an immoral act that holds no economic benefits for the United States. It is done on the basis of American white supremacy and racism.

The termination of DACA becomes effective in March, which gives Congress a small window of time to act. As a whole, we must Resist the Jurassic Pricks that hold power in the White House!
