1 Protecting the Unprotected Student’s Name Professor’s Name Institutional Affiliation Date of Submission 2 Protecting the Unprotected I fully agree with the insights found in the article entitled "Court to Weigh Protections for Immigrants Brought to U.S. as Children" by Miriam Jordan and Mattathias Schwartz from The New York Times. They express very well the fragile nature of the environment that many undocumented immigrants are going through because of the temporality of the protection offered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, to people who have entered the U.S. as children. DACA has allowed young undocumented immigrants to live, work, and study in the United States (Jordan & Schwartz, 2023). However, it is still at the mercy of changing courts and political whims, which some critics say presents an unnecessary financial burden on the nation's taxpayers while vastly expanding presidential powers far beyond those promoted as significant elements for that position. There is little doubt that thousands of young undocumented immigrants have been helped under this program, but its temporary nature has kept the recipients in an unending state of uncertainty. I agree with this need promoted in the article for a more stable solution, as DACA offers minimal protections and exists under constant vulnerability due to fluctuations in government leadership or changes in legal interpretation. A truly sustainable and lasting solution to this is creating an environment where there is the recognition of the contribution of these immigrants and hence addressing the inadequacy in the use of DACA in offering some lasting security. To support my stance, I will use two class resources, including La Policía, la Migra, la Misma Porquería! by Mariana Viturro and Walter J. Nicholls's Voice and Power in the Immigrant Rights Movement. Viturro comments on how immigrant communities are often criminalized and subjected to state violence, while law enforcement and immigration authorities often frame immigrants as a security threat rather than as an integral part of society (Viturro, 3 2009). This is a perspective where policy reforms are put in place to give immigrants stable legal protections, not temporary measures like DACA that do not deal with the greater systemic issues of criminalization and marginalization. Nicholls's work further supports such a perspective through the investigation of how the DREAMer movement has efficiently framed public narratives about undocumented youth as "innocent" and aligned with American values in an effort to garner public sympathy and legitimacy (Nicholls, 2013). While this increased the environment of support for DACA, it presented a strain on disagreeing ends by creating an idea where protection was considered only for those with very particular and narrow qualifications. It is through these readings that a significant understanding of the need for comprehensive immigration reform is created. These reforms can once and for all include a clear and accessible path toward citizenship for all undocumented immigrants, not just selected populations. That would mean such reform will bring stability in the long run, protect immigrant communities from the constant threat of deportation, and recognize their essential contribution to American society. The policy change will save immigrant communities from being treated poorly or, in some cases, being put in environments where they receive little to no protection from the law. 4 References Jordan, M., & Schwartz, M.

Introduction
Do you realize that every year thousands of undocumented youths face the challenge of
not knowing whether they are safe in the work environment they are in and this is something that
often leads to a diminished sense of welfare. The question that these individuals consistently ask
is whether each day will be the last they have in the homes that they are used to because of the
lack of a policy that actual does everything possible to promote their needs.
Context:
The article "Court to Weigh Protections for Immigrants Brought to U.S. as Children" by
Miriam Jordan and Mattathias Schwartz highlights the precarious situation of DAC...
