Forgotten, used as bargaining chip, teased, played-with and put aside over and over.
2 years, it's all we get. 2 years to renew the RIGHT to work, drive travel locally and get something as essential and as simple as private transportation and HOUSING.
Every 2 years we have to pay nearly $500 and eagerly wait for an acknowledgment, receipt and approval.
Every 2 years we have to wait in fear that DACA will be gone and we won't be able to renew, that at any second the next pay check could be our last, that the next payment will be the only thing that will give us one more month of food, gas, rent/mortgage funds.
But yeah, X president says he'll fix this for us. X president will make things better. X president said he'll sign an executive order to help us, the road to citizenship is close by y'all!
