People fighting against the removal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

The White House is considering hiring thousands of new immigration enforcement agents making many immigrants uneasy especially with the removal of DACA. DACA has left 80,000 dreamers without the opportunity to receive an education and/or a job.

The Trump Administration has been giving new proposals to congress about immigration now that DACA has been removed. Congressional Democratic leaders refused to speak out on Trumps new proposal, as they wish to wait for him to come up with a proposal that protects the status of dreamers, while still helping Trump maintain his goal of cracking down illegal immigration.

A House Democratic leadership aide believed the proposals by Trump Administration has lead them no where, as they have been unnecessary. Some of the proposals have been eliminating the protection of undocumented minors, allowing businesses to prove legal status of anyone, restriction of work to legal immigrants to protect American workers, and many more.

Questions for discussion:
1. What can be some useful proposals?
2. Do you agree with proposals made by Trump Administration?
3. What can be done to protect dreamers?
