Undocumented immigrants are frustrated with Biden on reforms as Build Back Better stalls

Katia Escobar was preparing to start college at the University of Houston last year, excited about the prospect that Congress might soon pass legislation that would wipe out the barriers she faced as an undocumented “Dreamer,” brought to the U.S. from Mexico illegally by her parents when she was a year old.

But today, the once bright hopes of Escobar - and millions of other Dreamers - have all but evaporated. Despite President Biden’s brief renewed pledge in his State of the Union address to push for a “pathway to citizenship” for Dreamers, farmworkers and essential workers, the prospect for immigration reform seems more remote than ever, and undocumented immigrants like Escobar are increasingly disillusioned.

“I’m fighting for my life, and many others are with me on that,” said Escobar, who has become an activist on the issue. “My life and the lives of millions of others who are like me should not be up for debate.”

As for Biden’s remarks during his address, Escobar added that she’s not sure she trusts the White House to be truly committed. “We have seen in the past him making empty promises,” she said.

**SNIP**

“The reality is that our community has been fooled by the Democratic Party in a lot of ways when it comes to this issue,” Julio Ricardo Varela, the founder of Latino Rebels, an activist news outlet that has been pushing for immigration reform, said.

**SNIP**

“There’s a lot of things they have promised us,” she said. “Right now, before we even give them the chance to start giving up on us, we just want to remind them that they have a moral obligation to pass citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants.”

As for Escobar, she has been able to enroll as a freshman at the University of Houston. But being undocumented, she has been unable to receive financial aid from the federal government.

Doesn't Mexico hand out loot to illegal aliens? Maybe she should go there.

They should threaten to withhold their votes in the next election unless he makes good on his campaign promises!

After all, the "illegal invader" voter-bloc is very important to the Dems!

There is a pathway to citizenship. It starts at the US Embassy in your country. You submit an application for a proper visa. My wife did it. It works fine.

They are not “undocumented.” They are ILLEGAL. No rights. Need to be extradited IMMEDIATELY.

After decades of essentially unchecked illegal entry into this country, they are still sticking to the long discredited 11 million lie. What is it now? 40 million? 50 million? Only God knows.

"“My life and the lives of millions of others who are like me should not be up for debate.”"


I totally agree. Americans shouldn't have to accept the loss of jobs, healthcare, education, etc. taken by illegal aliens.

This is really not a problem.

All they have to do is find that pile of lost documents and they will be legal. After all, it’s not like they’re in the country illegally, they are simply “undocumented”. Right? Right??

You have a moral obligation to give all your money and wealth to invaders who break into your house. That’s what she’s really saying.

The gall of the selfishness to expect for a tax paying citizenry not your own to pay for your school.

Even if they would come out in great numbers against Biden I still want their asses shipped back to wherever. They don't have to go home, just get the hell outta here!

To my way of thinking, "criminal" perfectly describes these folks. And they ARE NOT "migrants." Look that word up in the dictionary.


Criminal aliens. That's what they are.
