The University of Florida has joined the list of higher education institutions in that state partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out immigration enforcement on campus, officials told CBS News on Saturday.
“We can confirm that we have signed the 287(g) agreement,” a University of Florida spokesperson told CBS News. The agreement, which Gov. Ron DeSantis issued in February, allows law enforcement to act as immigration officers.
It was not immediately clear who at the University of Florida would act as immigration officers under this agreement and the school’s spokesperson did not provide additional comment. They did, however, confirm that eight students have had their visas revoked.
Once again, perhaps you don’t know what “documented” means.
They were undocumented when their parents brought them here. They became documented when they enrolled in DACA. That’s how documentation works.
You seem to be equating “documentation” with “citizenship”
Dreamers is one of the names for undocumented people. DACA is legislation that’s been implemented to protect some of them. Did you even bother reading anything in the above link above? Here’s a direct quote: While there are over 408,000 undocumented students currently enrolled in postsecondary education, less than half (181,000) are DACA-eligible
DACA was implemented because dreamers were going to school already, it’s not HOW they go school.
DACA also does not make someone “documented”. It is a weird loophole, but their immigration status is still technically undocumented despite them being able to work and go to school. Basically the government promises not to do anything about them for a bit. They have to keep renewing that promise. It’s not like a normal visa. The government is not actually giving them a “right” to stay.
See here: “DACA/DACA-mented Students who are DACA recipients (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), also known as “DACA-mented” students, are still considered undocumented students even though they may have a social security number and/or an Employment Authorization Card. DACA students should follow the same steps as an undocumented student when applying to SOU. A copy of your Employment Authorization Card is not required for admission processing.”
And
“Some undocumented students may be part of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) while others are not.” https://sou.edu/admissions/apply/uid/
“Deferred action is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action against an individual for a certain period of time. Deferred action does not provide lawful status.” https://www.uscis.gov/DACA
I am quite familiar with this particular status. It seems like everybody else is going off of vibes, and not even bothering to take two seconds to google this. Are you familiar with the definition of documented/undocumented? It’s not as simple as the way it’s used in general conversation.
Undocumented students can and do go to college. Some of them are eligible for DACA. DACA does not make you documented.
Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m arguing with fascists who are attempting to waste my time, or people who are so incapable or uninterested in the conversation they don’t even bother to read the links I readily provided, but for some reason are willing to respond multiple times. Please let me know which you are, so I know if I should even bother with the rest of this conversation.
