‘Stranger Things” and DACA truth
To the Editor:
With all the news of DACA and how the changes will affect many people including some family, I have been trying to decide where I stand on the issue. I wanted to write about the people who have lived here their entire lives and how this must seem.
This brings me to “Stranger Things,” the Netflix original hit show. In the show, an adolescent boy, Will, is taken from this world to another, which becomes known as “the upside down.” Will is alone in the “upside down,” leaving his friends and family to search frantically for the friend they know, love and have grown up together. Then a mysterious stranger appears. A girl known only as Eleven. Soon, Eleven demonstrates she possesses supernatural powers and may be the key to getting Will home.
As the mystery unfolds it becomes apparent a secretive government experiment gone awry is behind all the chaos. I won’t completely spoil the ending for those that haven’t seen the show. My point is the people brought here as children and know America as home willingly gave the government their information. And now in an experiment to “make America great again,” their information will be used to send them to another world.
