Why I May Get Deported -- DACA

He— okay, I was talking to my lawyer and I'm like, listen, we were sitting getting ready for immigration to give me the no-go or to give me the go on this Australia trip. I was sitting there and I'm like, listen, I understand that you're a lawyer that works with immigration, so you probably hate Trump. "But give me your most unbiased facts of why DACA should be gotten rid of." And he's like, "I'm not fucking with you." This is what he said, he said, "I'm not fucking with you. There isn't anything, I have yet to read anything that will come out of DACA in a positive way if it ends." And I mean, bottom line is, from what I'm seeing from everywhere, it's true. I feel like it's just an ego trip for Americans, for those hardcore Americans that are like, "Let's get everybody out of this fucking place." place. Like, I, I, this Marine messaged me today and he's like, you have no place here. Like, it's just like ridiculous. Like a Marine, like a dude that like represents us. And it's just like, it's just, it's just messed up. Like it doesn't, it doesn't make any sense. Like I'm not bothered by it. I don't, I don't care what people say. Cause you know, people talk shit to me on the internet a lot, but it's like at the same time, like you can't, you can't, you run into me on the street. And I am as American as it gets, and all these DACA people are as American as it gets, because a lot of people don't even know their home language anymore. There isn't a home country that they can go back to, because this is their home. It's as lame as it sounds. It's just completely ridiculous.

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, buyi…

Well, that's why it's good that you're speaking up.
David14:28
But it doesn't make sense to me, logically. How does it make sense to get rid of it? How does that help the economy? The only thing it does is maybe gives— opens up more entry-level jobs for Americans, which I think is such a stupid— I hate when an American g…
