Donald Trump spent the presidential campaign promising to kick me and other undocumented immigrants out of the country. Now a federal database created to protect those of us who arrived as children could help him do just that.
More than 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought here as kids, myself included, have willingly handed over our personal information to the federal government as part of a program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The program, started by President Obama through executive action in 2012, was supposed to temporarily shield us from deportation and give us temporary employment authorization.
When I applied for the temporary status in 2013, I had to provide U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) with every detail of my personal information school records, bank accounts, my original Argentine passport and birth certificate and more, along with my address and every location Id lived for the last 20 years. I included a check for $465 and went to a USCIS office near me in Miami to have my fingerprints and photograph taken. Since then, I have completed an application for renewal twice, with updates on my current address, everywhere Ive lived since my previous application, and my current income. I received my most recent renewal just last month.
If Trump wants to use it to find undocumented immigrants, the Department of Homeland Securitys database of our addresses, fingerprints, employers and more could easily become a weapon instead of a shield. The database likely also includes information on thousands of Dreamers who applied and were denied for failing to pass a criminal background check or because they didnt have sufficient evidence of continuous residence in the U.S. since June 2007, which is one of the guidelines for eligibility....

There is?
Well, thanks for telling us.
Don’t ever volunteer to put your name on a government list.
Naw, that’s kind of the process.
I have friend whose parents came here from Peru.
Really a terrific guy and all out American. Hates soccer too.
He’s gone through similar process and had to renew twice.
But, he should be a citizen next May I believe and I hope to be invited to his party.
Thanks for the tip, Julian..............
The first 100 buses south should be filled with those who are bragging about being here illegally.
You might want to stop typing, and start packing!!
Bleachbit?
Uh huh. And...
Don’t let Trump get it?
I’ve got news gor these people. Trump was hired by the US Electorate to get that list. And to use it.
He would have been better off sending that prince in Africa his bank account number and waiting for the 250 Million. Or maybe he did that as well.......
This douchebag is complaining because the government has him in its database?
Got news for you retard, American CITIZENS are in a database too, and they will use it at the drop of a hat against any of us if we don’t pay taxes.
So shut the hell up.
These would not be the ones Trump is desiring to do anything to at the beginning anyways. He wants criminals and violent and repeat lawbreakers/border jumpers gone first. Plenty of work to get these undesirables out and keepingthem out.
On 60 Minutes last Sunday, just five days after the election, Trump cancelled his plan for mass deportation:
Lesley Stahl: “What about the pledge to deport millions and millions of undocumented immigrants?”
Donald Trump: “After the border is secured and after everything gets normalized, were going to make a determination on the people that youre talking about...”
One day later, Trump hired Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff.
That is the same Reince Priebus who publicly endorsed Marco Rubio’s Amnesty Bill.
Destruction of Federal records is a serious crime.

It was a “deferment” program not amnesty. Your deferred time is about to run out. When my student loans were deferred while I was still in school no one ever thought that deferment meant it was going to go a way. Fools.
I have lived in Germany off and on for 35 years. You even have to register if you move to another house/apartment. That applies to Germans as well.
I hope makes a point to change all federal language documents, rules etc to “Illegal Alien”
Hey Julian, ya ever hear of those police scams where they send letters to wanted criminals telling them they’ve won a cruise, a car, etc., and when they show up to claim it they are arrested? Now you know how they feel. You were happy to steal “free health care” from American citizens. Now it’s time to pay the piper.
