Why Do Gun Owners Fear Registration? Ask a DREAMer by Jon Stokes
When the Obama administration announced its plan to offer a limited amnesty for undocumented immigrants who met certain conditions, immigrant-rights advocates were ecstatic. Or, at least, many of them were.
In exchange for registering themselves with the federal government under the auspices of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the so-called DREAMers could get a work permit and remain in the country without fear of deportation. They could pay their taxes and do many of the types of things that citizens do, all in exchange for letting the government know they’re in the country illegally.
Some advocacy groups who work with immigrant populations had reservations about the program, though, and warned that by alerting the government to their presence in the US, DREAMers were opening themselves up to easy identification and deportation should the political winds change and a sufficiently immigration-hostile administration take power. But such mass deportation was considered unlikely, and maybe even a little crazy… up until it wasn’t.
