Read my comment, he changed my life for the better. I don't know if you have parents or not, but I do and I care about them. I'm grateful he changed my life and now I work in a job making more than 70k. Yes my friend, I'm appreciative and I still can't say thank you enough. I went from factory work, to tech work thanks to Obama. What concerns me the most is the parents of DACA dreamers like us. But if Obama is not including them, I'm still happy he's going to push another Date. Although I firmly believe this should also include our parents. It's called DACA..... it would make sense to include our parents as well. But only the president has his reasons. I'm just really hurt parents of DACA dreamers will not be included. It broke my heart to see my parents go from happy, to sad when they heard that on the Spanish news. They were so excited that they were already getting stuff ready. Oh man.

I know that feeling dude. Bring a nice meal home or take them out for dinner; cheer them up and be there for the.

Yeah, I pay for all the bills now and they are really proud of me. I think seeing my parents making plans already to go on road trips and visit family in California and Florida is what hurt me the most. And of course, our parents can find better jobs. I'm still praying with all my heart Obama can include them tomorrow. Some say yes, some say no. Either way, I will still be happy about Obama approving another daca, that's another big step to finally get the immigration reform.

Very weak action. Only thing it did was take off the age cap from DACA, which in all reality shouldn't be there in the first place.

Whereas I perfectly understand that parents don't get coverage (since the argument for Dreamers have always been "we were brought here" ie. "its our parents' fault, not ours"). They could really do something for spouses and children of US citizens.


We need a better president, someone like Durbin (or even Pelosi), not a quack like Obama or Reid who pay us lip service and do a trillion other things and then remember "oh fuck... the hispanics/immigrants...". (Fun fact, in 2005 Reid sponsored an act ending birthright citizenship, considering that people rarely honestly and severely change their stances - you now know why there hasn't been any kind of a serious push).

Whatever happens tomorrow, the thing is that we have to all not stop pushing for all of our families to get some sort of relief in the future. This is key.

I think you'd need a mother of all protests for that. You'd need a crowd of 11 million in DC from Capitol Hill all the way to the Maryland border in order to pressure those fucks into passing anything.

You need a better incentive than that, like threatening someone's legacy, power, or money. But it can be done.

If they have been here for more than 5 years they should still qualify, huh?
