Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 2.0, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine" (Sozialwissenschaften), language: English, abstract: This paper deals with Barack Obama's impact on young Latinos. In hopes of a better life, millions of Latinos illegally immigrated to America, also known as the land of equal opportunities and prosperity. Contrary to expectations, they faced many obstacles and inequalities after arriving in the U.S. However, younger undocumented generations were able to evoke a change: They had been fighting for equal rights for several years before President Barack Obama finally introduced the DACA program which gives young immigrants a temporary permission to stay in the U.S. and more opportunities to work or pursue higher education. Since Obama introduced DACA through an executive order, that can easily be reversed by the following presidents, the existence of the program has been put at great risk by his successor Donald Trump. The attempts of political opponents to reverse DACA and the uncertainty of the future caused young Latinos to feel anxious about the program ending any day. Yet, what impact does DACA exactly have on the young Latino generation and what would happen if the program actually got abolished?
