DACA ( The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is a program created by the Obama administration in June, 2012. It was built with the purpose of allowing individuals who entered the country as minors illegal to be able to renew two-year periods of deferred action from deportation and an eligible work permit. The reasoning to fabricate DACA was because many children who were born in other countries but have been raised in America aren’t at fault for the illegal action committed. America is their home because this is all they’ve ever known. Ever since the program was put into action, it was quickly a debatable and controversial issue.
In September of 2017, Trump announced he would no longer renew DACA and is set to expire March 5th. Approximately 800,000 dreamers were protected and gained benefits from this program who will now go back to living in fear of deportation and suffer unemployment. DACA was the only way many of these students were able to pay for school, pursue higher education, and drive legally. Instead of students having to pay thousands of dollars more for the international student tuition, they’re only required to pay in-state tuition. This will cause so many children with dreams to pursue their education to not be able to because they don’t have the money. It’s necessary to sympathize with these students because they weren’t at fault for their parents decision to immigrate them. If they were to be deported to the country they were born, it would be foreign to them. DACA doesn’t even offer a pathway to citizenship so it’s inhumane to not consider the struggles these dreamers face on the daily.

The more someone buries their feelings inside and sets them aside, the higher the chance one day they’ll lash out without warning. We live in a society that makes it difficult for boys to be themselves because we judge them for expressing their feelings. We constantly nudge and encourage them to open up to us but when they do, we set them aside and invalidate them because we’re not used to it. The more we make fun of guys for being sensitive, and the more we make them feel uncomfortable for expressing their feelings; the more we train them to just suck it up.
Throughout the years, girls have enhanced every aspect of what they do and proved the past stereotypes wrong. They are living proof that showing emotion and being vulnerable is healthy. In the past, they were made less because being delicate with your emotions was seen as being weak. It has become to be just the opposite, those who are able to express their feelings and recognize them are powerful and stronger because they’re able to get through their obstacles without ignoring them. On the other hand, boys are more likely to be violent and lash out. This is because they internalize all their pain and feelings their not used to until the point where they can’t handle it anymore and just explode. Evidence of this is how all school shootings are done by men instead of women. Instead of accepting machismo, our society as a whole needs to put vulnerability and masculinity together and accept you can be both. We need to realize that you can still be “manly” and be sensitive; that nothing will make you stronger than being able to recognize your feelings, embrace them, and move past them. |
