If you were waiting for a sign to renew your DACA, this is your chance. Although the waiting times are too long, it’s better to start early than late, because starting from November 1st, all DACA recipients will be eligible to enroll in health insurance through the health marketplace, known as Obamacare.
What does this mean?
That over 100,000 DACA recipients will have access to slightly more affordable healthcare. Although this is a great victory for the dreamers, we have to remember that the DACA program is still in danger while it remains pending in court with Republican politicians.
If they decide to end the program, hundreds of thousands of people will be left in immigration limbo, unable to work legally and living in fear of being detained, and even deported.
Don’t lose hope and keep fighting for your rights, especially in this election year.
