Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it gives facts about a walk that was taken from January 1st, 2010 to May 2010. It is supported by documents that followed the walk. It is not biased towards the act of social justice or the passing of the DREAM Act. It states what the Trail of Dreams stood for, what they did, how they did it, how they gathered support, how they were opposed, and how they are continuing the Trail of Dreams (although not in the form of a walk) today.

It has been suggested that this page be merged with a page that has not been specified. If you are the editor who added this template, please specify. (Discuss)

Strong Merge

Merge Trail of Dreams 2010 with/into Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, as it was a supportive campaign/activity by four people in support of DACA and serves to help identify the continued efforts to pass DACA, which activists hope will lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship. TalkAbout (talk) 23:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

If there is such a strong connection, then why is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals not even mentioned in the Trail of Dreams 2010 article? Indeed, how can a walk in the year 2010 have been in support of a memorandum authored by the Obama administration on June 15, 2012? – Wbm1058 (talk) 16:06, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
STRONG Merge or Delete!

The activities were directed towards the goal of Deferred Action by Homeland Security/ICE so that children brought here as children would receive protection which eventually led to DACA (which was worked on by many organization). If this one activity by four people was that significant that there would be a Trail of Dreams 2010 ACT, which there is not. Also, the article denotes the Trail of Tears as 'another journey' which it was not, it was forced relocation/genocide 'causing the expulsion or death of a substantial part of the Native Americans then living in the southeastern United States.'
