This website is explaining how DACA is positively affecting the economy. It talks about all the positive things DACA applicants contribute to. Such as working and paying taxes, becoming entrepreneurs and how GDP are rising. It talks about how all immigrants, regardless of legal status, contribute to the American economy. The 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants that live in the U.S. today contribute $11.64 billion in state and local taxes each year. It also states how the Social Security Administration estimates that unauthorized immigrants contribute a net of $13 billion in payroll taxes each year and that only works towards strengthening the Social Security system. The workforce and DACA applicants have a lot to do with the economy boost and deserve to be recognized.

This website is really interesting because it was actually created by our UMD Terps themselves. We have a student resource center for undocumented students. This website informs you on what DACA is and how the school is helping these students. From scholarship opportunities to organizations and how to get involved if you want to make a difference in the lives of these students. This website is great because it talks about the fact that there are so many DACA students currently enrolled at UMD and that there are many ways to help their organization grow.

This website keeps record of all benefits of DACA and explains each on thoroughly. If you don’t understand the process of how DACAmented people receive a social security number or license or an EAD, this page is really helpful. It also contains links to other websites that will help with application processes and places you can go for more frequently asked questions.

This website is nice because it shares the story of a DACA recipient by the name of Yesenia Ariza. It talks about her life with DACA and how it allowed her to buy a home. I used this because it continues to show in what ways illegal immigrants contribute to the economy. It is nice to read along and try to connect with the protagonist of the story and out yourself in their shoes; forming a sense of pathos. It goes on to talk about how with Trump, her house could be taken away even though she earned it, leaving her still in fear.
