The impending abolishment of DACA policy is becoming an issue that is causing immigrant groups in the US to speak up and unite.

A group of leaders composed of Latin immigrants had gathered to pass the obligation to congress of coming up with a DACA policy solution. In private, they disagree on the wide-scope parameters to be used for a compromise.

A wider-scope of efforts would indicate a bipolar unison in a vital immigration issue with betrayals and fights behind talks. These talks among the leaders from Hispanic groups in the US cannot meet a common ground despite these Hispanic leaders' commitment to coming up with basic principles. These principles should help prevent or reduce the total number of immigrants being deported in the United States of America.

The highly-known and active leaders from Hispanic groups in the US in the United States of America had arranged a conference on Thursday to showcase the unity of the groups to push the government of the US to create a legal solution to the issues involving the protection of the undocumented immigrant youths who were brought to the country when they were minors. These undocumented immigrant youths are at risk of being deported after the lapse of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program which will be on March 5.

DACA is a program beneficial for undocumented immigrant youth who were only minors when they had entered the United States of America with their parents. This program allows these people to stay, study, and work in the US for a period of three years.

The gathering of the leaders from Hispanic groups in the US aims to make a loud voice for Congress to hear. The representative of the different groups wants to protect the lives and future of the 800,000 undocumented immigrant youths in the US who is now unstable because of the decision of Trump's administration to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

"This is historic, from progressives to conservatives. For once since I've been involved in politics, we want to work together to get something done. We're much more powerful when we work together. We're not going to dig down into particulars today at all," said Mario Rodrigues, one of the makers and chairman of Hispanic 100 (a group that supports the election of Republicans and cooperates closely with the White House).

According to the observations of various sources gathered by BuzzFeed News, the private meetings conducted before their (the Hispanic groups) announcement to the public which showcased the group's unity in their disagreement on some of Trump's implemented policies to the country, was different.

According to a source, the efforts exhausted by this group of people were not "loud enough" to make an impact on the current political weather.

"It's almost like we're saying, 'we like sunny days and ice cream.' Well, no shit.' I don't know of any responsible Latino leader of any ideological stripe who doesn't want DACA preserved. To me that's non-news, the news would be that at least in private that we agree," said one of the sources.
