Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

With the news out today about the delay it confirmed some fears I had when there were rumors about Obama expanding Daca. Republicans were going to go harder against the program than ever before. I have no doubts that if they can get Dapa overtunrned they will go after Daca, it might take some years but they'll go after it. My message to you is to not fall into this comfortable space, have a plan b, plan c, and plan d. Save some money, learn about job opportunities in other countries because this program can and will probably be overturned if they have success with Dapa.

The back up plan is to keep advocating for the dream act, cuz, I don't have anywhere else to go to.

well in my humble opinion, I don't think DACA will be dismantled. I am sure that Jeh Johnson did his homework to advise Obama of the legal grounding in expanding DACA, so I would hang tight, I am optimistic DACA, DAPA and all other executions actions will go our way in the court, again this is just my two cents.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

I'm definitely optimistic, I'm hopeful Dapa isn't shot down in the courts. I'm just injecting some cautious thinking into the conversation so people aren't caught by surprise.

Marriage seems the most logical way to go lol
of course marrying a USC, needless to say

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

some of you worry way too much, you need to calm down. its only a temporary ruling. the reason dapa was overturned a day before it started was to stop it from being a thing. once the ball starts rolling its going to be hard to overturn. its what the judge wrote about dapa.

:!:
many times i think we will have to cross that bridge when we get to it

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

Don't worry too much, you'll eff up your life worrying. I know I did... Luckily, I stopped and I'm rebuilding.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

Not trying to be an asshole or anything but I don't see the poin of needing a plan a-z if DACA is dismantled the most logical thing to do is get married to a USC obviously you're girlfriend not just some random person, I don't see the point of panic unless you're planning on marrying someone who has the same status as you which is honestly just dumb

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

If they overturn the original DACA, it will be another civil war in this country. Of course DACA people will fight till we got this right.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

"Dismantling" DACA is very unlikely for many reasons but the two most practical: LAWSUITS and POLITICAL SUICIDE which is the only thing lawmakers care about anyway.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

I wouldn't panic either. I think you will be ok if you have original DACA. I agree with the person that said plan B should be to advocate for the DREAM Act. I mean 2 years +3 years of DACA equal the 5 years conditional residency requirement the DREAM Act has. You keep your record clean and pay your taxes =you should be gold. No marriage required.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

As others have noted, DACA is safe as it would be political suicide to remove it. I suspect DAPA may be overturned at the courts or legislature though. We'll just have to wait and see on that front.

Marrying someone you love isn't dumb. True love transcends things like migrant status. What is dumb is marrying without genuine unconditional love.

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

Original DACA has been given to us, it is unlikely that it will be taken. Otherwise, it will be a chaos!

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

Not really. If Republicans somehow win and stop expanded DACA for good, they will use the same tactics with regular DACA. You don't think they have a heart do you?

Re: Those with Original Daca. Have a backup plan.
 

are you working for numbersUSA?

They haven't "overturned" anything, need to learn how to perceive current events bruh.

also, what if DACA is overturned, we go back doing what we used to do... except you stay out of california because they wont give you a drivers license.


long live DREAMERS!

During the recent funding debate the Republicans considered going after the original DACA. Their moderate members were against it on moral (and political suicide) reasons. DACA is here to stay.

DAPA on the otherhand..
