Karina Velasco paid her way through college by cleaning office buildings in downtown Washington for five hours every evening. She did her schoolwork after getting home at midnight, and is on track to receive her degree in social work next spring. Karina is a model citizen except for one thing. She’s an illegal immigrant. She crossed the border without papers from her home in Mexico 10 years ago, whresponsibleaying for damages to car,medical bills.etc,etc.en she was 14. Under a program initiated by President Obama in 2012, Karina is one of about 550,000 young people, sometimes called “DREAMers,” who qualify for “deferred action” regarding their immigration status. That means they can obtain a work permit, a driver’s license, a social security number and some assurance that they won’t be deported. Karina can now work for a social service agency that helps other young people deal with the mental side effects of illegal immigration: stress, depression, fear. She knows the symptoms because she suffered them herself. “One night I woke up with a nightmare — my mom and dad were being deported,” she recalls. “I was crying and crying and I called my mother. I was like, ‘tell me you’re OK, tell me you’re here. What am I going to do with my brother here by myself? Who am I going to turn to?’ It was something I was always thinking about.” Karina’s terrors have abated, but she knows her protected status is not guaranteed. Obama’s program could be canceled by a Republican president. “I am always living with the uncertainty of what will happen,” she says. “I am scared that in a future day I won’t be able to renew my deferred action, and I will be in limbo again.”

Dems ARE the takers; taking from us to give to others, and a slice for themselves.
Since they are in more danger, shouldn’t we take in the Kurds and Iraqi Christians before the Central Americans?
I’m serious.
Doesn’t matter how long they have been in the US, they should just go home. Let them reconcile with their parents their fate in life, not our problem. Besides, with their US education, health, etc., they should be set for success in their home countries.
Every American deserves freedom from fear. Fear from the Marxist takeover of the White House and the Democrat Party. IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! Vote all communist democrap progressive slime out in 2014!
Mexico needs social workers. Has she considered going back home to work with people who need her?
No. Go home.
An EXCELLENT idea!
“Dreamer” is an absolute perversion of the idea of the American Dream. What makes the American Dream work is the Rule of Law. It is what enables a fair and stable system, a system which allows individuals to pursue their own ambitions - THAT is the American Dream, NOT cutting in line because an EDICT OF A MAN has enabled some to violate the laws with impunity.
