Why I May Get Deported -- DACA

Yeah, I couldn't even work, I couldn't do anything, and DACA's a work permit, so it lets you work in the US. Ah, ah, ah. And yeah, then I got to come out here and I got to do, literally, do the whole American dream route, you know? Just coming out to LA, buying a nice car, and buying a nice house. And now Trump's taking it away. And I really, really, really, really hate to get political because I honestly wouldn't even talk about this if it wasn't for everybody tweeting at me and kind of pushing this responsibility on me, which I'm totally fine with., but I feel like I kinda should just bring some light to it. I hate to get political, even if it affects me, I just, I literally don't, I just don't care. I don't know what it is, but I just, I never think about it. And yeah, a lot of people were bringing it to my attention that like this is bothering a lot of, and this is changing a lot of people's lives. And so bottom line is Trump's getting rid of DACA, which is absolutely bizarre, and I'm pretty sure, 97% of the world is very confused by this.
