Meet two sisters, "A" and "S," from Mexico, who have lived in Wisconsin since they were young children. "When DACA came out, it was like this golden ticket," A remembers. DACA allowed them to legally work and drive, but it was temporary — they had to reapply every two years. And in 2024, A and S got married to U.S. citizens, but that didn’t mean they automatically got green cards. What came next was an expensive, complex application process. Learn what it took for the two sisters to navigate the U.S. immigration system.
