HOUSTON – Many Houston-area immigration advocates and families are hopeful President Joe Biden can enact sweeping immigration reforms. Among other proposals, Biden wants to provide a path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally.
“We’re a very religious family so we pray at night. We pray that we’re going to be ok,” said Josue Ventura.
Ventura is a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program started in 2012. Ventura said he was brought to the U.S. when he was six years old in 2001. He’s grown up in the United States, graduated high school and has a career as a translator for parents with special needs students.

Only a few months ago, on a day in mid-September, the Salvadoran immigrant said she woke up to yet more news about the Donald Trump administration’s quest to expel around 400,000 immigrants like her who have been legally residing and working in the country with Temporary Protected Status or TPS.
