United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?

I completely forgot about that meeting with United We Dream. The general consensus here is to continue applying until Trump removes it, but I think their concerns are legitimate to advice not to do new applications. It's a gamble right now when our future is so uncertain and they have all our information.

Thanks for sharing.

The thing that's killing me isn't even the possible bad outcomes, it's this damn waiting game! I'm like dude just put me outta my misery at this point. This whole "what if this and what if that" and the mix of the defeatist attitude with some ppl on here is driving me nuts

Boycott uscis!!!

I am still hanging on the hope that they won't target DACA like this.

Yes they may most likely cancel DACA, but to go the extra mile and use DACA beneficiaries as the first example of their anti-immigrant regime, by pulling the applicants information and systematically send out deportation hearing letters to one of the most productive group of people out of the entire 11 million or so undocumented population, while they scramble and scratch their head on how to find other undocumented individuals who aren't on the record anywhere???

Its them basically saying "We haven't learned anything, please don't re-elect us".

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Exactly! I was debating with some one on how the hell would u find these ppl who are virtually invisible. The person was like raids and I'm dude not everyone is Latino and living in an immigrant filled community. If that is the case they'll have to go door to door every where. I know 2 mixed status black families where the undocumented ones never had anything in their name and just sit home in a middle class neighborhood so how will u track ppl like that down.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Which is why I find it very careless for them to try and deport the 1 million or so DACA beneficiaries and then fall flat on their face trying to find the other 10 million.

Is that what they want as a headline? "Trump administration deports DACA beneficiaries only, can't find anyone else"...is that what they want their immigrant policy accomplishment to be?

What lesson do you think they learned this time around? They won on a rhetoric of hate and suppression and people showed up to vote for them.

This outcome is a game changer. We can no longer pretend current American society is interested in unity and inclusion. The ugliest side of humanity has won and it is terrifying for every minority out there. Now we all feel a bit uncertain about our future in this new Post-Trump world. It's not just him, but about what is being reinforced now in society. All those kids currently in school being bullied for being Latino. And, the wave of hatred that will come. It's so saddening.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

I hear ya, cannot argue with that, it is just a wave of uncertainty.

We will all have to wait and see.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

I would still send it in. It is personal opinion.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

There's going to be tons of legal ramifications behind this hypothetically if Trump is to "revoke all EADs" Sadly I am not a man of law as my background is in number crunching so I can't elaborate any further but certainly we will see attorneys come out of the woodwork and chime in. I know for sure I am ready to fight this and get a decent lawyer for back up. There's trouble brewing on the horizon and we will do well to prepare.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

How is a lawyer going to help you?

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Are you a lawyer? Then please go ahead and answer the question. I am not, looks like you didn't read my post, so I can't answer the question. But using common sense again, I am telling you these work permits can't be snatched away by waving a magic wand.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Obama should just set us as political refugees within the United States.. bam!

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

He can do that AT THIS POINT?

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

I am not a lawyer either. Hence I asked. I did read the post hence I asked.

The reason I asked is because youre acting like your basement flooded and your calling a roofer to fix it.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Are you a lawyer?

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Then maybe you should couple up your questions with some suggestions to encourage some sort of discussion rather than asking me what my lawyer would do when I already said I am not a man of law. The way I am seeing things there is a strong indication that the memorandum signed in 2012 by Barry could be cancelled so the immediate solution to mitigate the backlash would certainly be to get a lawyer because you would be open to deportation. I don't think they will be focusing on deporting everyone but mainly criminals first.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Okay that didn't answer my question.

But okay.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

Chyno n 2Face at it!!!! Nice!!

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

We should all know the first thing you need to do when ICE gets you is to get a lawyer! Don't sign anything and the only words to come out of your mouth should be "I need to talk to my lawyer". So, at the end a lawyer will be the only one who could possibly help you. Btw, I am not a lawyer either.

Re: United We Dream Said Not To Go Forward with New Applications?
 

2face don't give a shit brah. Its either here or there. When trouble's brewing, gotta come up with a viable solution to mitigate the risk and hit the road with full confidence! We're on a collision course right here. Even prominent activists/DAPers like Ianus are hearing the siren bells on the horizon. My initial thinking here is to mobilize myself IN CASE my work permit is revoked (that would open me up to possible ICE raid/deportation) so I will have an attorney ready to protect my family from being abused at the detention center.
