David Leopold: What to Watch For In The Appeal Of The Texas Immigration Lawsuit To Th

http://americasvoice.org/blog/david-...e-5th-circuit/

Final decision by June or July... Feels like the death sentence keeps getting postponed week by week. Our lives are hanging by a very thin thread now I hope the injunction is lifted soon.

so DACA/DAPA get postpone and suddenly its a death sentence...? How did most of you survived pre-DACA world

@Pianoswithoutfaith

Try having a bit more empathy. Living is more than surviving; surely, after receiving DACA, you know that.

I am honestly curious as how life was, I mean it was harsh and all but I never saw another way other than adjusting through marriage but some of you act life before DACA was worse than death, worse than the Holocaust

You can compare a lot shitty things to the Holocaust and it will sound better but it it's still shitty: Mob breaking your knees for being late on a payment? Not the Holocaust for instance.

As to how life was before DACA? Well, I can tell you it's been shitty and getting shittier by the day.

Hang in there!!! Your time will come very soon!

Okay, I think you are seeing this from your perspective and experience which is very much personal. If your life is not better now than before being granted DACA, then you've been lucky. Sometimes this is a matter of timing or place. My life in WA is probably better than another's life in Texas. Perhaps not.

And then again, most of the 2012 DACA recipients were/are very young and some quite clueless, so not owning a new vehicle or having the ability to travel to the beach for spring break , but living at home while attending school as the only responsibility, feels as if one were leading a very deprived and oppressed life.

Still, I understand how they feel. It's a matter of perspective.

I mean I went from cleaning asbestos to designing circuit boards. I dont look back and wonder to myself "omg life was so hard back then!!" My point here that we shouldn't think as DACA as the ultimate solution to our problems, our own personal Jesus Chris or salvation. Not having daca isn't a death sentence at all, it's an inconvenience but whats the alternative? We don't have control over it either. It can easily be remove if the next president want a to. Are there folks out there who desperately need it because their way if life is becoming harder than ever? Yeah of course but in 2012 you never expected even a small chance of taking advantage of it and now you had a taste of it but being set back a bit is the end of the day world?


I don't believe for a second people like my parents,friends or iamaman here won't get DACA/DAPA because it's just now a matter of time before they do.

Can the court decide to lift the injunction on the 17th?

Well, I think life is pretty bad if you don't have papers, especially for someone who made no choice to have this kind of life. I guess not holocaust level, but I was really thinking about it yesterday and in the scheme of things it is a big thing, but if you look at it from the government's perspective what is being "granted" is pretty small. The right to work and drive legally for two years, ultimately subject to the government deporting you if it decides to or the president changes. This is what makes the proponents of this lawsuit look so petty and shitty themselves, because what they tout as some great amnesty is about like your neighbor who used to wake up and give you the middle finger every morning simply agreeing to only scowl at you every morning in the future.

The sad thing is that we should all write the president effusive letters of thanks for agreeing not to flip Dreamers off any longer.
