“I don’t know much about immigration in general since there is always a more concerning topic being shown on the news barring any coverage of immigration. I do want to know more about it, it’s just that the media doesn’t allow me to do so unless I specifically look into it. DACA I thought was a great idea but I didn’t know other plans fell through. I don’t know what the next plan after DACA is. I believe it affects me indirectly as I have friends and some relatives that are here on specific types of visas. Personally it doesn’t affect my daily life but I care for my friends enough to know that this is an important topic to them. They fear that deportation will separate their families from them and detainment is a horrific place to be especially for children. I do plan to spread awareness much like I do for other social justice movements but given the time now with everything going on in the world, I believe America just has their priorities set on other things. Although Biden promised many plans for immigration I know that none of them, or so I’ve heard, have worked. Many immigrants that I know are always afraid of deportation and they don’t have a say in anything that goes on in terms of changing the law. I don’t believe NYC is overpopulated at all when comparing it to other popular cities, so immigrants are not the problem if people believe NYC is overpopulated.”
