My name is Jasmine Lopez, Im 11 years old and Im a U.S. citizen. If Congress doesn't take action now, I may not have my mom with me for the holidays.
Why is this important for me? Because Ive already experienced something close to losing my dad, and I dont want that to happen ever again.
I was born in Florida, but both my parents were born in Mexico and are living in the U.S. undocumented. Even though they were always careful when driving to work or to the grocery store, one day things got real for all of us. My dad was detained while driving because he couldnt get a drivers license. Thankfully, we were able to get him out of detention so he wouldnt get deported.
As a kid in this country, I have the constitutional right to pursue happiness. But without a Dream Act that allows my mom to stay and doesn't hurt my dad, Im not fulfilling my right. Thats why, instead of writing a letter to Santa this year, I decided to write a letter to Congress and ask them to act now. Last week, I even flew to Washington D.C. to deliver my letter directly to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, but he wouldnt open the door for me.
My moms DACA expires on December 22nd, the exact same day as the deadline that Congress has to make a decision. Please, Congress, put in a vote. Allow my childhood to continue instead of ending it by separating my family.
All I want for Christmas is Congress to pass a clean Dream Act. It would be like a miracle for many immigrant families like mine.

Fun for the WHOLE family!
Feliz Navidad!
Signed Marco Rubio Jasmine Lopez.
Well all I want for Christmas is a million dollars, a supermodel girlfriend and the looks of Brad Pitt....but Jasmine, neither of us will be getting what we want because Santa ain’t real....
Tuff noogies, illegal invading criminal. Go back to where you belong, then get in the BACK of the line of people waiting patiently to make LEGAL immigration. People everywhere HATE line jumpers!
According to Wikipedia (ahahahaha)
Nationality by birth
The Mexican Constitution states that Mexicans Citizens by birth are:
-persons born in Mexican territory regardless of parents’ nationality or immigration status in Mexico
-persons born abroad of a Mexican Citizen born in Mexico
-persons born to an individual after that person has become a naturalized citizen of Mexico
-individuals born on Mexican merchant- or Navy ships or Mexican-registered aircraft, regardless of parents’ nationality
-children born to Mexican Diplomats or Ministry of Foreign Affairs Personnel working overseas
The alleged 11 year old is a Mexican Citizen under Mexican law.
I don’t think you can be a citizen of two countries except for Israel.
From Wikipedia: Mexican Nationality Law:
According to the 30th article of the Constitution of Mexico, there are two ways in which a person can acquire Mexican citizenship: by birth or by naturalization.
Well Jasmine I will make it VERY easy for you, I dont want you to be separated from your parents either so you are FREE to LEAVE with them..they came here illegally, have a problem with that, yell at THEM for breaking the law
She should realize how much happier her family would be if they all go back to Mexico where her family can work and live legally.
Let’s buy Jasmine a plane ticket so she won’t have to break immigration law and can live with her parents in their country.
Win-Win.
Sure, that reads like it was written by an 11 year-old.
It was probably written by some communications aide in the Mexican embassy.
Don’t forget Bush’s contribution to that. He believed in MAMA, Make America Mexico Again.
Too bad; Santa Claus aint real.
“Im 11 years old and Im a U.S. citizen.”
No, you’re really not.
I'd wager it was someone in the US Embassy.
Dear Jasmine,
I have a very simple solution for you:
GO TO MEXICO WITH YOUR ILLEGAL ALIEN PARENTS!
The longer this drags on, the more hearts and minds attacks by the media.
How careful were they were using stolen or fake SS#’s when they applied for a job or filed their taxes?
Law enforcement ...
.... is all I want for Christmas.
And *I* am a citizen.
