Jackie Lozano was born in Mexico, but only remembers her childhood in the United States. Brought to the U.S. by her mother when she was a sick baby, Jackie is a Dreamer and benefits from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), an act that provides her a permit to live and work in the United States, although she is not a citizen.
