Melanie Escalante- Catholic Universities ask Trump to leave undocumented students alone

As we all know, Trump plans to remove protection[DACA] of undocumented students. As the time for Trump's administration approaches, The president of DePaul University, along with 70 other catholic universities, have signed a letter of persuasion to protect these students so that they too can make lives for themselves.

A common opinion I share with the President of DePaul University is that these students did not make the decision to get up and move to the United States when they were just children; they were brought by their parents. They can't turn back the clock and change anything. This is their home just as much as it is ours. Removing them and everything they have worked for/are working for would not be fair. I wouldn't like it if someone took away something I have earned; I don't think anyone would. Although undocumented, they still have the chance to pursue an education and become successful in this world and I hope no one takes that away from them.

  1. I agree with this wholeheartedly, you can't persecute someone for something they had no control over.
