DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals) helped undocumented immigrants (dreamers) by giving them and their families some sense of hope for a better tomorrow. Most first wavers (the first generation of immigrants to enter the U.S.) have shown in study that they have a “better mental health outlooks than subsequent generations.” (Villavicencio, Sept 8th) This could mainly be because they cannot articulate emotional based language as well; “they have less familiarity with diagnostics and less access to treatment than their American-citizen children.” (Villavicencio, Sept 8th) From a perspective about the welfare of children, Trumps DACA decision has doubled the pressure that millions of young ones, already troubled, now feel. “Children seem to accept chronic exhaustion, low self esteem, fear and panic, low moods and fits of crying as normal for the melancholic migrants struggling to subsist without being arrested.” (Villavicencio, Sept 8th) What will happen to our kids? Who will they stay with? Where are we safe? It it better to leave now than to face the coming end to DACA. How will us kids continue to further our education if forced to leave. Those are questions being asked by every immigrant family, parent and child. “All of these developments have spread fear among immigrants.” (Balingit and Brown, March 19th) Recently Trump has proposed to rescind DACA and send more than 800,000 immigrants, who arrived here as children but were protected by Obama's program, back to the country from which they came. America, being built on immigration, is fighting back through. Schools across the country, from Virginia to Los Angeles, have agreed to maintain a haven, a place of security from ICE agents on the hunt. “A 2011 memo barred ICE agents from interviewing people at schools, churches, hospitals and other ‘sensitive locations.’ (Balingit and Brown, March 19th) Some DACA recipients are looking to continue their education at universities in other countries. Other questions, more along the lines of concern, deal with the psychic toll of Trump's decision. The stress of constantly living in shadows while knowing that our life here might come to an end at any time can cause depression and anxiety for any sane human. As a child of immigrant parents, I find some comfort in knowing there is help and answers to our precarious situation. “Churches, community health centers and nonprofit organizations can provide referrals + bilingual therapists and conduct workshops on self-care, explaining depression and anxiety from a culturally sensitive perspective. Clinics can hire more bilingual practitioners. Teachers can check in with students from mixed- status families. All of this would be smart from a public health perspective. But it is also a moral imperative.” (Villavicencio, Sept 8th) These articles take the perspectives of parents, school counselors, superintendents, communities and advocates for Trump’s decision. Even economical and statistical perspectives are being represented. “Immediately deporting approximately 750,000 DACA recipients would cost the federal government more than $60 billion, along with a $280 billion reduction in economic growth over the next decade, according to the The Cato institute.” (Molina, August 4th) On the other hand, advocates for the anxiety and fear of Trump’s decision say that if you entered this country illegally, you should be worried about getting deported. That Obama overstepped his authority by pardoning immigrants that criminally entered this country illegally. Terror Management Theory (TMT) propose a basic psychological conflict that results from having a self-preservation instinct, whilst realizing that death is inevitable and to some extent unpredictable. This conflict produces terror, and this terror is managed by embracing cultural values, or symbolic systems that act to provide life with enduring value and meaning. This theory, of social psychology, seems like analogy for those whose conflict come from, not death, but that their life in America, for them and their children, might soon end. Whose self preservation deals with staying within the country and surviving the terrors and mental strains of immigration agents and laws. To manage this terror, immigrants seek community health centers and nonprofit organizations to provide help from therapist, to help with depression, anxiety, and fear. Parents look to bilingual workshops on immigration laws to further understand and make sense of their past present and future predicaments.
