How inhumane would it be to end DACA?

September 4, 2017 by Randal

Sixteen years ago Dave divorced his first wife Suzie over “irreconcilable differences”. Dave then went on to marry Margie. Dave and Margie have now been married for fifteen years and they have one fourteen year old son, Scottie.

Now imagine that Dave and Margie are members of a particular church denomination. And that denomination decides that Dave and Margie are in adultery based on their interpretation of Jesus’ teaching on divorce and remarriage. As a result, they render their judgment: Dave and Margie need to divorce and Dave needs to return to his first wife, Suzie.

Can you imagine the impact that ending Dave and Margie’s marriage would have on Scottie? That provides an illustration of the kind of effect that ending DACA would have on countless Dreamers.
