| dc.description.abstract | Current immigration policies that reflect the United States ideals of a safe and secure nation also bring continued political battles amongst the government and their political struggles to safely battle the influx of immigrants that flood our borders. Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants have made the treacherous journey to leave their past of political corruption, the uncertainty of job stability, and in some cases poverty stricken and gang controlled neighborhoods in order to gain entrance into the United States in hopes of a new beginning. The Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a federal government assistance program that offers undocumented immigrants the opportunity to apply for healthcare and educational benefits while gaining a temporary residential status and not be targeted for detainee or deportation operations. The educational and healthcare benefits that are afforded under different immigration policies towards immigrants in comparison to DACA portrays a much different view, such as a façade, and a displacement of position the federal government conveys to its nation. With the survey conducted in this research project the results were expected and varied as well. It adds to the ideal that DACA does give undocumented immigrants hope and the possibility of a better life. | |
