The New American Dreamers (Pt. II)

There are about 11 million undocumented immigrants residing in the United States. About 800,000 immigrants in the U.S. are current DACA-holders. There is no way for them to get a green card or to become permanent residents. This is why when President Trump announced he was ending DACA in 2017, many Dreamers feared they would be deported immediately. But, mow the United States Supreme Court is deciding their fate. This is part one of a two-part discussion about DACA. In two weeks we will release part two. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
