New Yorkers join DACA court case rally in DC
BY TEQUILA MINSKY
Hundreds traveled from around the
country to rally outside of the Supreme
Court in Washington DC,
yesterday.
Seven hundred people traveled from New
York State —13 buses full of people from
Buffalo to Long Island— with the New York
Immigration Coalition to support Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and
Dreamers as the Supreme Court heard oral
arguments on whether to nix the program,
which would affect the future of over 700,000
young people.
DACA is an American immigration policy
allowing some undocumented individuals
who were brought to the U.S. as children to
receive a renewable two-year period of deferred
action from deportation and become
eligible for a work permit, driver license and
attend college in the U.S. It was announced
by executive memorandum by President
Obama in 2012. President Trump wants to
end the program.
There are 42,000 recipients in New York
State.
To be eligible, applicants must have arrived
in the U.S. before age 16, and were no older
than 30. They must have lived in the country
for the previous fi ve years, were in school
or a veteran, and had committed no serious
crimes. The application costs $500, must be
reapplied for every two years and does not
provide a path to citizenship.
