Many people from the Caribbean region seek new beginnings and better prospects for their children in the United States.

The Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) plan protected undocumented immigrants in the United States and ensured children were not deported to from whence they came.

The Barack Obama administration took a more humane approach to the children of immigrants caught in the political and legal crossfire of US citizenship.

Obama battled to get the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act passed in Congress but could not pull it off.

One of President Donald Trump’s first executive orders in coming into the White House was to end DACA and clamp down on “Dreamers” seeking a way to become Americans. The way he saw it, they were all illegal aliens that posed a threat to the United States.

New York Attorney-General Letitia James has gotten behind DACA which has her full support in the Texas vs. United States legal battle.

Last year on winning the Presidential election, President Joe Biden moved swiftly to do away with Trump’s decision to put the block on Dreamers.

The New York Attorney-General said: “Home is here for hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who know no other home but the United States and that has never been more evident than during the COVID-19 pandemic when Dreamers stepped up and served on the frontlines to save millions. Despite Texas’ false and bigoted claims, DACA recipients are vital to our economy, vital to our communities and vital to our way of life.”

“We will continue to fight against these immoral threats of deportation but the court has the opportunity here to preserve DACA and send a message that Dreamers are valued, that they are loved and that they are crucial members of our society.”
