We still cannot apply for FAFSA, Obamacare or get certain jobs. Try traveling to another country without first applying for advance parole and let's see what happens. At any time or new president, this can all be taken away and then what? Will DACA recipients resort back to how things were before DACA or move out of the country? It only put a band-aid on a problem but never solved it. That's why people are feeling depressed because of this.

Personally I really appreciate what DACA has done for me.
I no longer have to shamefully say "I have no social security" when a person thinking I'm a citizen ask for it in order to get me a job. Back in high school and in middle school I always felt terrible saying "I have no social security" to the nurses, counselors, teachers etc... Worst of all was saying it in front of the class and have all of those assholes laugh at me.
When people ask me for an ID I am able to provide a legitimate ID instead of some random ID with my face on it. Best of all I am able to drive and legally apply for jobs.
If DACA is ever taken away from me. I will pack my bags and get out of this fucking country. I have dealt with being illegal before and I'm not going to deal with it again. I rather live in my sorry excuse for a country, than be treated like shit here for being illegal.
