I am a graduate student in journalism making a short documentary focusing on people with DACA legalized status (thus exploring larger questions of immigration and citizenship). If you live in New York City, are applying or have applied for DACA, or will soon need to apply for its renewal, please consider participating in my video project.
You would need to allow me to hang out with you once or twice a week, probably through late April.
My interest in other dreamers is deep. I came to the US as a nine-year-old with my younger sister and my parents. Yes, we had green cards, no, we didn't speak English. Even with documentation, it was obvious that many people saw my parents as "undesirables" that should go back home. It is painful to imagine how much more difficult our lives would have been without authorization to live and work.
I'll gladly answer questions. Let's arrange to speak by Tuesday evening.
