it really should scare anyone with human decency how #DACA is being put to an end by trump. over 28,000 immigrants are going to lose their jobs over this xenophobic and racist decision… and before anyone whines about how these immigrants don’t deserve jobs because they’re not “real Americans”,, dreamers have been in America since they were children. DACA literally stands for
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. imagine being a child who comes into a country where you have to immediately adapt to learning a new language, get used to a new culture, and get to work a few years later right at the legal working age. these children have went through hell and back just to make a living in america, and it’s very disgusting how the trump administration wants to take that all away just because he wants to make america white again.
there is no valid reason why trump wants to take away DACA other than blatant xenophobia because immigrants are not “stealing” your fucking jobs. that bullshit claim has been debunked a million times by professional economists. the #Dreamers caused no harm to this country, they’re just young immigrants who want to make a living for themselves and their future families. DACA has helped over 800,000 immigrants achieve their goals and dream of becoming successful in a different country. only racists who want to “purify” this country with whiteness would be against such a helpful program. anyone else who knows how to sympathize with other humans would know that this program is well needed.
there is a way to help. simply text RESIST to the number 50409 and the resistbot will fax a custom made letter to your local senator(s). It doesn’t have to be super long, just to a short explanation on why you think DACA deserves to be saved. after that it will automatically send a fax to your senator. and that’s it! It’s free, it’s easy, and you can also do it more than once. congress has 6 months to make sure this doesn’t become a nightmare for immigrations so let’s make the most of it!! we can fight this!
here’s another piece of vital information specifically for the DACA Dreamers. you guys still have rights and it’s very important you know that.
Boosting.
I translated the poster into Spanish (since I haven’t seen it in Spanish yet), and added a note that their website includes Red Cards in Spanish, Chinese, and Hmong so far–if someone could translate to Arabic, Urdu, and Nepali (at least from my experiences with the refugee populations at my school), that would be super helpful!
