Blog Stage 8: Comment on a colleague's work #2

Commentary to Alejandra Marquez blog post.

I agree that DACA should remain available because it gives many children so many opportunities that without it they won’t normally have if they are not U.S. Citizens. They have to meet certain requirements in order to be granted the benefits of being a part of DACA. The requirements they have to meet reinsures that they behave as good citizens for the country. They get a permit to be able to work and don’t have to worry about being deported.
     According to the Center for American Progress, DACA recipients help better the U.S. economy and furthermore we all benefit from it. “Previous research has shown that DACA beneficiaries will contribute $460.3 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product over the next decade—economic growth that would be lost were DACA to be eliminated.”
