Dreamers

They came here as young children, brought illegally into the country. They've since grown up here, been educated here, work here, the children of undocumented immigrants who are still considered illegal. They are the Dreamers, an estimated 750,000 of them, protected by deferred action stopping ICE from deporting them. But that deferral might come to an end. Soon. You're about to hear what’s at stake for children of undocumented immigrants who've been dreaming for so long to finally be called American.
