I've lived in the US since I was 10 years old but like millions of undocumented immigrants my future remains uncertain.
Read my @hrw dispatch urging Congress to create a pathway to citizenship now.
Our lives, and my future, hang in the balance. #WeAreHomehrw.org/news/2021/09/28/us-c…
Dreamers are vital members of our community - they are our teachers, frontline heath care workers, business owners, service members, and an integral part of American life.
It's time to pass immigration reform that includes a permanent solution for Dreamers.
I am always always always on the side of DACA recipients and other undocumented people reaching their goals and breaking through everything that stands in their way.
It reminds us that we are stronger than our immigration status.
If you:
⚪️Have never called anywhere but America home
⚪️Are working here, paying taxes, and contributing to our economy
⚪️Are a Dreamer, essential worker, farmworker or TPS holder
You deserve a pathway to citizenship. RT if you agree.
Once again, the fate of thousands of Dreamers has been thrown into limbo.
We can't let the future of #DACA recipients hang in the balance.
The time to act is now. This Senate will work to provide a pathway to citizenship for our Dreamers.

This judge ruled DACA is illegal because it was done by executive action (Obama in 2012) rather than legislation. It will be appealed, but Circuit and Supreme Court both look like iffy propositions to reverse.
However: Congress can fix this by passing legislation.
