DACA Recipients Travel to Mexico w/ Fears on Being Allowed Back into the U.S. | B. Vines

"Imagine, you've done everything right your entire life. studied hard, worked hard...only to suddenly face the threat of deportation to a country that you know nothing about." The immigration laws of the United States have a murky and convoluted past. With the passing of the Dream Act, it was thought that these fears would be put to rest.

DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) removes childhood arrivals to the U.S. from the priority list of being targeted by deportation efforts. As Mauro prepares to visit Mexico, as a part of El Colegio De Mexico's academic and cultural study abroad program, he faces the possibility of not being allowed to re-enter the United States, despite advance parole documentation for re-entry. We followed Mauro on his journey as he and his family pray for his safe departure, and hopefully, return, back across the border.
