DACA gave her courage to fight anti-immigrant bias and white supremacy
PRI ^ | January 17, 2018 | Kenya Downs

Posted on 01/17/2018 7:00:10 PM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

Mwewa Mwange says that she is shy and avoids conversations, too afraid of awkward moments. But ever since she became eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, she slowly came out of her shell.

She is one of almost 700,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children who have DACA, which offers temporary protection from deportation and the opportunity to apply for work permits. But she’s specifically passionate about black immigrants, a demographic she says often gets ignored in immigrant advocacy circles.

“I can step out of this shadow or out of this hiding and be able to tell my story because other people can’t,” she says. “Because in telling my story, other people are finally hearing like, ‘Wait, there’s undocumented black people?’”

Isn’t that sweet? An illegal invader and (no doubt) big time mooch gets to “step out of the shadows” and excoriate “white supremacy.” Ain’t America the grandest place in the world?

Maybe I’ll hop a plane to Zimbabwe tonight and go chastise them for being black.

White supremacy?

I’m so tired of that worn out rhetoric.

I’m not a racist because I don’t agree to allowing my nation to be over-run by illegal aliens.

You can tell your story in the country you belong in.

YADA, YADA, YADA.

We respect people who follow the law.

We don’t believe in equality of outcomes. We believe in equality under the law.

“Mwewa Mwange”

When you’ve got vowels, but in all the wrong places.

I am not a white supremacist and I am not anti-immigrant.

I am opposed to illegal immigration.

And I am sick of being insulted by illegal alien a$$holes who claim to know what is in my heart.

Send her back to wherever she is from, same as every other illegal alien.
Free pass time is over.

Is actually black supremacy, or rather illegal alien supremacy.

Now she can commit a crime, even murder, and have no worries about being incarcerated. She would just be released, not even be deported.

The vast majority agrees with you yet authors think crap like this will change something. Delusion.

100% agree. It's incredible that these types of articles are put out to garner sympathy. Oooh, so sorry you invaded our country, partook of our resources, we are so lame compared to the place you came from - that we never asked you to come here from. Also, see my tagline.
