More than 100 immigrant youth and allies rallied in front of Capitol Hill for a permanent pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, following a federal appeals court's ruling against the program's legality.
More than 100 immigrant youth and allies rallied in front of Capitol Hill Thursday morning following the Fifth Circuit Court's Wednesday ruling against the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
"I came [to the U.S.] with my family," Chavez told ABC News. "We were escaping political violence that was happening in our country at the time. Living here is only the only place I've known. I started school here, and I started elementary school and went to college here." "But when DACA came, I was able to get in-state tuition, which took a lot of burden for my family. With DACA I've been able to go to school," she told ABC News.
The potential discontinuation of DACA would have far-reaching consequences for young immigrants on the program, said Jose Coronado Flores, 25, a DACA recipient who immigrated from Guatemala when he was four years old. Sergio Gonzales, executive director of the Immigration Hub, said political "punditry" surrounding DACA has obscured the human impact of the program's impending rescission, should the case reach the Supreme Court.
