People Protest Arkansas Attorney General’s Decision To End DACA

BENTONVILLE (KFSM) -- Protesters chanted from a busy street in Bentonville, hoping to raise awareness of Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's decision to end the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program.

"This is a country that's supposed to have compassion and concern and take in people and help them. I mean that's my idea of what the United States of America is all about and I'd like to think that's the country we still are," protester Harrie Farrow said.

Over the course of five years, 800,000 immigrant children have benefited from DACA. The program allows certain undocumented minors to apply for a renewable two-year work permit and deferred deportation.

"They were told they had this dream they could become full citizens if they did the right things and many of them are doing that and have been doing that and now its being taken away from them," Farrow said.

Protesters left statements for Rutledge to consider with the her representative at the mobile office.

I loved the video of the protesters. Very well
Spoken and diverse group.

Saw the video. Very impressed with the diverse crowd. But I saw no more than 15 or 20 protesters. They need a LOT more to make an impact. Trumps rally's attracted tens of thousands.

Where's Mr. Durbin ?

His silence is killin me, no one in congress is standing up for us ;(

That's irrelevant and a false equivalence. Bernie and Obama attracted how many people? Most of those supporters are for immigration rights and DACA. How many anti Daca protests have there been? I'll wiat

Granted true, Obama and Sanders had HUGE rallies but the focus of their campaigns were economic inequality, crony capitalism and the banks. Trump ran on immigration, which is why he won the nomination and Presidency. We are living in very dangerous times.

Congress won't do shit for us dude. Once DACA is stopped, we will just back to the shadows, and we will be like those who did not qualify.

No one seemed to care about the ORIGINAL dreamers who aged out. We are no different than them.

The reality is, the ideological argument with immigration was lost. Even many Democrats oppose the concept. There will be no reforms.

Democrats honestly would be way better off if they​ started changing platform on immigration. I guarantee you, if a Democrat ran an anti immigration campaign, he would win.

Reality is reality, people do not like illegal immigration

I refuse to stop believing.


We still got the ACLU!

This is why many liberals are over the democrats. All talk and no action. They care more about making trump and republicans look bad than passing any meaningful legislation.

Bill Clinton was against illegal immigration and he was liked before the whole sex scandal

You're back to your " post Trump was elected we are doomed" hysteria.
