DACA recipients working as health care practitioners, including physicians and physicians-in-training, whose futures are in jeopardy amid a global pandemic.
DACA is what is allowing us to practice medicine in this country. America has been Denisse's home since she was a baby, and New immigrated here with his family when he was 9. We identify as Americans and consider it our duty to help this country in a crisis. Yet any day now, the Supreme Court could decide on our fate. So while we struggle to help contain the rapid spread of the coronavirus, in the back of our mind looms the threat of deportation.
The Association of American Medical Colleges, joined by Pre-Health Dreamers and 31 organizations representing a range of health professional education groups, noted in anto the U.S. Supreme Court that it can take a decade or more to educate and train a new physician. The decision to expend vast amounts of time, money and effort in educating and training DACA recipients in the health care sector was made based on the expectation that we would be able to serve the public once educated and trained.
Who is not a immigrant in USA?some came years ago,some decades ago,and some centuries ago.Just because some were born in USA,and some others acquired citizenship,it doesn't make them different from other immigrants. you also have the immigrant lineage.DACA,immigrants,Dreamers
Sorry-DACA Is Not a Law, It Is the Violation of Law President Obama’s DACA program is not a law or even a policy. Rather, it is a brazen violation of the immigration law as written and passed by the American people’s representatives in congress.
DACA folks are exactly the kind of immigrants we should want in the USA. To kick them out would be ignorant racism that only harms our communities. Keep our first-responders on the job. And pay them more!
