    Non-profit to pay for CUNY students’ DACA application fees

    Non-profit to pay for CUNY students’ DACA application fee
    By Bob Fredericks September 21, 2017 | 4:00pm


    About 250 Dreamers who attend CUNY campuses and face an Oct. 5 deadline to reapply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals protection will have the $495 fee covered under a program paid for by a non-profit, the university announced on Thursday.

    The fee will be paid on the spot at several CUNY Citizenship Now! DACA renewal events, thanks to a partnership with the New Economy Project, which raised cash to pay for the fees.

    Non-CUNY students who meet income guidelines will also have the fee waived, and others can apply for an interest-free loan, regardless of income.

    The checks will be made out to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and as grants do not have to be paid back, the school said in a statement.

    “CUNY has provided a bridge to the middle class and beyond to generations of immigrant New Yorkers,” said Chancellor James B. Milliken. “Given the current political climate, and the fear and uncertainty it has created in immigrant communities, we are doing all we can to support the thousands of CUNY DACA students.’

    Of those thousands, about 250 face the Oct. 5 deadline, while others have to reapply at later dates.

    President Trump killed the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protected Dreamers from deportation, and gave Congress six months to cook up a plan on how about 800,000 current Dreamers should be treated.

    The administration ordered that anyone whose DACA work authorization expires between Sept. 5 and March 5, 2018, would have to renew by Oct. 5 to keep their status.

    For non-CUNY students, the New Economy Project will provide the $495 fee grants to eligible Big Apple Dreamers whose household incomes range from no more than $30,150 for one person to a $71,950 cap for a five-person household.

    CUNY Citizenship Now! DACA Renewal and Screening Clinics will be held Saturday at John Jay College, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday at City College; Tuesday at Hostos Community College; Wednesday at CUNY School of Professional Studies and Thursday Medgar Evers College, all from 6 to 9 p.m.

    Waste your $495...most are LIARS and the applications will be terminated...they will be deported.

    Make it easy for ICE...just do a sweep of the college...load them up and deport them out.

    "Provide YOUR bridge back over the border to a college of their choice"!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
