It is no secret that President Trump came right out of the gates with hateful invective, launching his presidential campaign with xenophobic rhetoric labeling hardworking immigrants as \u2018criminals\u2019 and \u2018rapists.\u2019 His intentions were clear from Day 1 of his campaign, and since becoming president, he has done nothing but find ways to divide this country, building walls between the realities of the contributions that immigrants have made to our country while also spreading lies that cater to his alt-right base.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\u201cDACA should not be weaponized as a list to deport and divide families. DACA should not be used to deprive students of educational opportunities that benefit us all, as a community, down the road when they make great contributions to our nation, using the tools they learned here, in our great country.
