Recently,
protesters collected at the U.S. Supreme Court as oral arguments were going on within
the chamber about the fate of DACA (Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals).
They promised to remain in the U.S. no matter what the court determines next
summer.
National
Immigration Law Center’s executive director, Marielena Hincapie, told
protesters that they shouldn’t have to leave because of the high court’s
ruling.
Hincapie
says, “You belong here.”
The
crowd chanted, “Home is here!”
She
said her left-wing company would fight for the “Dreamers” on a daily basis and
predicted the high court would make a ruling in their favor.
Ted
Olson, who served as Bush’s Solicitor General, was within the Supreme Court to
argue that Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals is a “legitimate, lawful” and
“constitutional” plan that Janet Napolitano “signed into law.”
In
fact, DACA was put into place through Barrack Obama’s exec action and
implemented by DHS.
Ted
stated that he “deeply” cared for recipients of DACA and was “honored” to
represent recipients before the high court.
Ted
added that he wanted people in America to see the faces of protesters, so they’d
know how critical immigrants are to society in America.
Greisa
Martinez Rosas, who’s United We Dream’s deputy executive director, an
organization founded, as well as populated with young people illegally in the
country, addressed these protesters who held signs reading, “Stop the Wall,”
and “No human is illegal.”
“Thousands
of undocumented youth and allies today are walking out to defend #DACA,” M.
Rosas tweeted with hashtags SCOTUS #HomeIsHere #Heretostay
Martinez
Rosas said, ‘I am unafraid and undocumented,’ and ‘I am queer and not ashamed.’
Rosas,
like other speakers, said she is inside the U.S. for good.
