On November 20, 2014, President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would not deport certain undocumented parents of U.S. citizens and parents of lawful permanent residents. The president also announced an expansion of the current Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for youth who came to the United States as children. Under these presidential actions these parents and youth may be granted a type of temporary permission to stay in the U.S. called “deferred action” which allows them to work and contribute to the U.S. economy.

However, currently the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is NOT ACCEPTING applications for the expanded DACA program and new (DAPA) program. A federal district court in Texas has issued an order that temporarily blocks the DAPA and expanded DACA programs from being implemented. Meaning that people will not be able to apply for DAPA or expanded DACA until a court issues an order that allows the initiatives to go forward.

Please Help us Save DAPA & DACA by signing the petition.

My own family members remain frozen in fear while these legal delays keep them in limbo. We are nearing five hundred signatures and I need your help to push through this milestone so our demand is impossible for officials to ignore.

My own family members remain frozen in uncertainty while the courts block these essential programs. If we hit one hundred signatures today we can finally force the local office to acknowledge the human cost of this delay.

I fully support DACA and DAPA. Furthermore, I believe that the senate and congress needs to stop playing political games and start working towards a just and comprehensive immigration reform.

I hope things get better for all of these immigrants. I know the feeling of having a dream and not being able to pursue, for the fact of not having 'papers."

The 5th court of appeals should consider that DACA, DAPA beneficiaries will grow the U.S. economy cumulatively by $230 billion over the next 10 years
