Woodside Filipino Community Responds to DACA, Looks to Future
The Filipino community in Queens must get busy helping would-be recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to register, and they must spread the word about immigrant rights—going door to door if they have to. This was among the advice Filipino action groups gave during a town hall meeting last Sunday afternoon at Woodside's Sisa Pakari community center to discuss the Trump administration's decision to eliminate Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), what that decision means for the Filipino community in Queens and practical steps to take now and in the future.
