but the point is that for a young people like lucio romero, there are real mental health consequences they are dealing with. like what did i do wrong. i followed everything and they are living in this limbo. and i want to say to them, joy, actually, is they ve got you, the doca recipients, you have to find a way to, one, not give up. you have to find a way to totally know that you are going to make it because you ve already been raised with the most extraordinary challenges in your life. so you are going to feel sad an mourning and traumatize and you have to find ways to take care of yourself. and i run that is what i do. and you have to realize, if this country doesn t want you, there are many who do. and so do not this is not a loss. and i know jose, this is horrible, because i just i don t want our daca young people to be living in fear. because they are going to make
daca was introduced right when i was graduated high school. and in may of this year, i graduated with a bachelors in mathematics and i now work for a bank in the fraud department and i protect and monitor our citizens money from being stolen through financial crimes. i do believe that my work ethic aan asset to this nation and i don t understand how removing daca is beneficial for anyone at all. the term american should not be defined with a document or the lack of one. it is more so the willingness to contribute to the country and help others out whoever possible and that is exactly what i and thousands of others are willing to do. well the future of daca hangs by a thread. d.r.e.a.m.ers have come forward humanizing the conversation with their stories. and joining me now are three recipients, john green, from undoca black and jen park, founder of higher dreams and
that he is coming to the city of houston. during his visit i ask him to spend at least 30 minutes with us, with the daca recipients who have been voentsing and helping here in the city of houston. to come meet us and to so that he could understand and remove the stereo type that is here. we are not here to cause any harm. we are here to help. joining me now, founder of define american and mary lena of the national immigration law center and julietta, from united we dream action. and julietta, you are coming from a protest, can you tell us what that was about? yeah. we did all night protest outside of the governor s mansion office and i m really exhausted. it was all night. but it was to send a very clear message. when governor abbott passes and signs before a very racist and unconstitutional law, we know
and 35-year-olds and we are saying let s have a more secure path to citizenship. why even have them have to worry about every two years or even if it is changed every three. that is not enough. why don t we have a more concrete and direct way. i m still not clear does he support daca. i think he supports [ inaudible ] comprehensive immigration reform. we ll be back later in the hour. thank you very much chris for now. and up next, you will meet some american d.r.e.a.m.ers, stay with us. four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends, three jobs. you re like nothing can replace brad. then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement™, we ll pay for a car that s a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. liberty stands with you™.
one of the reasons i relate so much to this story is my parents came here from 1960. one from the african continent and the other from ghana. i have no paperwork. i don t know their process. all i know is i m american. they came here, and we never questioned it. i find it weird that people that s how i define american. i m here. i was born here. my mother was american because she came at some point and was naturalized somehow. for me, what s been stunning is three journalists of color, which is a rarity on cable news, two not born on this country. i have to say that so much of the political media and how they talk about this issue is lacking the kind of humanity and context and diversity that we re seeing here today. i really implore every journalist who is about to write about this defineamerican.com/daca. every fact you need to know
