The Dreamers

The Dreamers are a group of young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, often seeking better opportunities. Many of them grew up in the U.S., speak English fluently, and consider the country their home. They gained attention through the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which temporarily protected them from deportation and allowed work permits. Their status remains uncertain due to changing immigration policies, sparking debates over their rights and future. The Dreamers symbolize hopes for comprehensive immigration reform and the challenges faced by those brought to a country they consider their own.
