Under Trump, US families gird for potential deportations

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "DACA is my last shield," said Turay, using the acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
47% : People like Silva are nervously waiting to see if Trump makes good on his pledge to declare a national emergency at the border with Mexico and expel millions who lack residency papers, potentially tearing apart families, homes and lives.- 'Take them away?' -Under outgoing President Joe Biden, US immigration policy was largely accommodating to people trying to enter America.
42% : "I hope he only focuses on deporting the criminals because America is a land of immigrants," Turay said of Trump.
37% : Trump, on the other hand, often used dehumanizing language as he called undocumented migrants crossing the Mexican border "animals" who were "poisoning the blood" of the nation -- a phrase reminiscent of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.
35% : Without DACA he cannot work.
31% : But 16 Republican-led states that support Trump challenged this plan in court, and in November a federal judge in Texas struck down the program.
23% : Now he faces the terrifying prospect of deportation under the hardline America First immigration platform that earned Trump a win over Kamala Harris on November 5.
23% : And for all three the future under Trump -- and the prospect of her being deported to Mexico -- is scary.
21% : Oscar Silva has a bull's eye on his back as Donald Trump prepares to retake power with a pledge to deport millions of undocumented migrants like him.
