MOMENTS OF FEAR DESCRIBE RESIDENTS OF FLORIDA AFTER THE EFFECTS OF HURRICANE IAN. FAMILY MEMBERS FROM THE DMV FEAR FOR THEIR WELL-BEING AND ASK THE REST OF THE COUNTRY TO REMAIN ALERTED.
AT CARA A CARA, WE WILL BE COVERING THIS DEVASTATING NEWS NEXT WEEK, AND SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO A FLORIDA RESIDENT THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE HURRICANE AND ITS GRAVITY.DACA RECIPIENTS FEAR FOR THEIR FUTURE, AS CONGRESS WILL MAKE A KEY DECISION REGARDING THE DESTINY OF THE PROGRAM AT THE END OF OCTOBER.
ON JULY 16, 2021, TEXAS FEDERAL COURT JUDGE HANEN RELEASED HIS OPINION ON THE DACA CASE, STATING THAT INITIAL DACA APPLICATIONS WOULD BE PAUSED WHILE RENEWALS WOULD CONTINUE.
THE DACA FINAL RULE IS INTENDED TO REPLACE DHS'S 2012 MEMORANDUM TO FURTHER LEGITIMIZE THE PROGRAM IN COURT. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE CURRENT STATUS OF DACA.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT FOLLOWED THROUGH ON ITS PROMISE TO “PRESERVE AND STRENGTHEN” DACA AND HAS MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND AND UPDATE THE PROGRAM TO PROTECT MORE UNDOCUMENTED YOUTH. INSTEAD, THE RULE MAINTAINS OUTDATED ELIGIBILITY DEADLINES THAT PREVENT MOST YOUNG IMMIGRANTS FROM ACCESSING THE PROGRAM.
IN CARA A CARA AT MORGAN WE WILL KNOW THE REALITIES BEHIND THIS PROGRAM; THE BENEFITS AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAT IT HAS IMPLIED, AND THE IMPACT THAT ITS FUTURE WILL HAVE ON THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. THEREFORE, WE WILL OFFER MORE INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS FROM ONE OF THE LARGEST ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF IMMIGRANT RIGHTS.
IN THE SAME IMMIGRATION FIELD, A NEW LEGISLATORY PROPOSAL PRESENTED TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE WHICH WOULD UPDATE THE SO-CALLED REGISTRATION LAW ESTABLISHED IN 1920, WHICH UNTIL NOW ONLY ALLOWS THE LEGALIZATION OF THOSE WITH MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF RESIDENCY IN THE COUNTRY. THE LAW WOULD REDUCE THE LONG WAIT TO 7 YEARS, GRANTING A BROAD OPPORTUNITY TO IMMIGRANTS TO REGULATE THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS.
