The declaration made by president Obama on August fifteenth the year 2013 was a consolation to the immigrants. By coming up with the idea of deferred action for dreamers, the government was showing its commitment to humanitarianism. The immigrants that entered into the United States in childhood were relieved of fear of being deported.
This was in contrast with the earlier plans to send them back to the countries from where they were brought. Ranging from study, work and courtesy call, the US normally receives overwhelming number of immigrants annually. A strategy was therefore being enacted to screen the populace in order to remain with a manageable number. It was, however an encouraging move to hear the head of state make such an announcement.
Think of a mother who takes refuge in a new land. Her only company is a young baby girl. Unfortunately, the mother dies before signing the relevant papers to make her daughter a citizen. A friend to the mother then sympathizes to take her and live with her. She becomes a much disciplined girl and always emerges the best in her class.
The girl then gets entry into a prestigious university in the new land, which according to her is her homeland, and she graduates with a first class degree. What follows is a well paying job. She is now grown up, say twenty seven and until now, she has never been involved in any criminal activity. On what grounds do you deport such a person.
Dreamers they were rightly called since that is what they essentially are. They can only be compared to the great men of the past who coined the American Dream like Martin Luther King. It is not too much for them to be accorded full nationality and be allowed to continue with their lives without fear of intimidation. As long as one is abiding by the law, mistreatment is uncalled for.
The action that the president and his administration took was thus a right one. Still, more needs to be done as the dreamers need total freedom. At the moment there are some regulations governing their stay that are evidently unfair. Considering the current state of affairs, they are just like visitors who can be driven out any time the owner of the house changes mind.
They might have come from Brazil, Nigeria and other parts of the world; this should not be an issue. What should matter is the positive change that can result from peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding. If accorded full citizenship, they will be more useful to America and the world at large. Acceptance is what they need.
It is common for some of them to behave in unwelcome manner. In such a case, the law should take its course without favoritism. Their misbehavior is not enough to label the rest as unruly. It is human nature to make mistakes and it is noble to correct the mishaps. The whole world is watching to see how this matter will be brought to rest.
