It
offered
undocumented
immigrants
who
came
to
the United States as minors
the opportunity to receive
deferred
action
from
deportation and eligibility for
a renewable, two-year work
permit. To qualify, applicants
must have all lived in the
United States before the age
of 16, not having any felonies
or serious misdemeanors and
living
continuously
in
the
United States since July 15,
2007.
One of these individuals is
LSA freshman Sandra Perez.
Perez grew up in the United
States and discussed DACA’s
importance not only in her life
but also in the lives of others.
“It really has no effect on
other people besides DACA
students, but it’s great to
advocate
for
them,”
Perez
said. “For myself, being a
DACA student, I feel that
it really empowers me and
other students. There are so
many benefits from DACA,
for me it’s my driver’s license,
social security and so much
more. Trump’s removal of the
DACA program is absolutely
insane, and it really doesn’t
make sense because there are
so many students benefitting
from the program.”
LSA
freshman
Michelle
Alvarez
echoed
Perez’s
statement and discussed how
the policy has helped many
people in her own life.
“Although I’m not a DACA
student, I have a lot of family
and friends that benefitted a
lot from DACA,” Alvarez said.
“I just want to support my
friends and family because it’s
very important for them to stay
and study.”
Alvarez acknowledged that
the United States is the only
home that many of the DACA
recipients know.
“I strongly disagree with
what Trump is doing,” Alvarez
said. “Some of the DACA
students came here when they
were young. I have a friend
who came to the U.S. at the
age of one, so it’s like taking
away who she is because she
basically grew up here, and
just deporting her to another
country that she doesn’t know
is wrong.”
Perez worries the repeal will
create an atmosphere of fear
for many DACA students, and
cause them to become afraid
to stand up for themselves
because
of
the
threat
of
deportation.
“Because
of
the
DACA
repeal, many students won’t
feel as powerful; they will
go back into hiding, and they
won’t speak up for what they
believe,” Perez said.
Though
the
repeal
has
caused
distress
for
many
people, both Perez and Stenvig
are hopeful that the BAMN
rally and other actions from
the University community will
protect the students who are
affected.
“I’m
hoping
that
the
University
goes
against
Trump,” Perez said. “I feel
like the U of M community
can empower its students and
include its diverse components.
They can just try to help the
students feel at home, feel
like it’s safe, and feel like
you can come here and find
comfort. For me especially,
I feel like if the University
said, ‘We welcome you,’ then
I’d feel like, ‘Hey, I want to
go to U of M and I want to
stay here.’ I want them to
make me feel included and
not make me feel alienated.”
Stenvig is also impressed
with the amount of support
the movement has received
and is confident people will
continue to remain united.
“We’ve already seen a
huge outpouring of support,
even on the first day,” Stenvig
said.
“People
are
really
outraged about this, and I
think what we especially
want to communicate is that
we are really strong and that
we can see this isn’t the end
of DACA and that we have to
respond to this as this is our
moment to come out strong
and keep marching until
we get rid of Trump and his
policies.”

Every Wednesday, the Michigan
Daily will be asking a University
faculty member, staff member
or student what the University
bicentennial means to them.
“It feels like a momentous time
to join the University...I will be
learning about the last 200
years starting today. I came
from D.C. when I got this job,
and I certainly noticed a deep
love of Michigan that is in many,
many, many places. I wouldn’t
be able to say what’s new at the
University because it’s all new
to me, but there is certainly a
lot of excitement. I teach early
American History so it’s an
exciting opportunity to come
here to talk about the history
of Michigan and the University
being a part of that history for
a long time
— a lot longer time
than other Universities.”
Scott Larsen, first year lecturer
in American Culture
