Readers Write: A win for Dreamers, a win for American Dream

The Island Now

The Supreme Court has just blocked President Trump from ending the DACA PROGRAM [ The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ].

This is a win for the undocumented dreamers, where at last count is over 700,000. This has allowed these children to work, go to college, get health insurance. a driver’s license and not face deportation.

These children were brought here by their parents who came here illegally meanwhile it was not their children’s fault because it was not their decision to come to America. These children have lived most of their young lives and have gone to school and been a part of the community where they live.

So in my opinion these Dreamers, deserve the American dream in a country they have loved for what it has offered them.

These children by no fault of their own should not be deported and should be offered citizenship. They committed no crime though their parents did.
