They gave this information to the government and said: We
want to become part of America's future, and we are willing to sign up,
submit ourselves to the background check, pay our taxes, pay our filing
fee, and do whatever is necessary. They trusted us. These young people
who came forward and received DACA have then gone on to contribute more
fully to their country. They are teachers, nurses, engineers, first
responders, and servicemembers in our military. Now, because of President Trump's announcement, the deportation clock
is ticking on these young people. Beginning on March 5, 2018, not that
long from now, every workday for the following 2 years approximately
1,400 Dreamers will lose their work permits and be subject to
deportation. These young people who trusted our government will now,
with the decision to end DACA, find themselves in an extremely
vulnerable position. When they lose their DACA protection, if they are teachers, they are
forced to leave their students. If they are nurses, they are forced to
leave their patients. If they are first responders, they leave their
post.
