stay with us coming up next the street thanks for watching. with . hi i'm femi oke a and you're in the stream u.s. president daltry once said that he treats young undocumented immigrants with heart but the government's plan to end the deferred action for childhood arrivals program has many of its beneficiaries looking for the compassion he previously promised today we speak with dr recipients to learn more about the fight to ensure their

dreams of prosperity live on. morrison i consulted represent people on immigration and i'm in the stream. and twenty twelve by president barack obama that if action for childhood arrivals program or daca but hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants were brought to united states as children granting them temporary residency and eligibility to work study for many dhaka residents the u.s. is the only home they've ever known but the trumpet ministrations says the program is unconstitutional last week the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions announced the data would be phased out saying terrible humanitarian consequences and gave jobs to illegal aliens at the expense of hundreds of thousands of americans the announcements rights protests across the u.s. from california to washington d.c.

and drew criticism from some lawmakers congress now has six months to figure out a legislative solution for doctors approach proximately eight hundred thousand recipients of the stream spoke with protesters rallying and from the white house to hear their concerns shortly after the decision was made to in the program. i think its own you may enter and it might be like. this we all have rights. i don't have a bill but i am voice. and i really i don't have a bone campbell but i do have a voice and i know that i'm right and i. like my. job and the majority of the country we work on should be trying out america america but we try to. be like i don't know much much of. what's going on here like why don't you just. want to give me. the question.

are we going to be. i like people to put themselves kind of in my shoes. i have not been back to mexico . this is all i don't like at the. moment. so what are the consequences of and in dhaka what will happen to the people who need it joining us in the studio to discuss it we have. she is the director of immigration advocacy at asian americans advancing justice that's a nonprofit civil liberties group catalina unless chris is a recipient and an active member of united we dream an immigration youth network to donna saying is a student at trinity washington university she's benefited from the doco program

since twenty twelve add on the phone in atlanta georgia raymond total and he is a dachau recipient in addition to being an immigrant rights activist it's good to have you here everybody at the end of that little report that we had for recipients who were protesting did you hear the chant here to stay here to stay so donna do you feel confident about that i do i do this is been the only home i've known and i'm not going backwards this is my home so i'll be here to stay that's. i think it speaks to the risk billion some power of immigrant communities i mean people forget that eleven million undocumented immigrants leaving this country is larger than the population size of tunisia in north africa hungary in eastern europe and comparable to the population size of cuba this is a substantial group of people right in the u.k. to stay i agree i would definitely say that i'm here to say. this is

the only home i've ever known just like saddam a said i moved here to this country from the philippines when i was one and grew up listening to the same music watching the same t.v. shows as my friends and i feel as though i'm just as american as anyone else we got a tweet here from marino that says his handle and i think he would agree with all of you he says that that allowed me to earn my bachelor's in biology and the ability to work towards my masters to become both and physicians assistants and a scientist so lots of accolades there he goes on to say though if he lost those protections that he's gained under dhaka he would revert back to living in the shadows under the fear of being sent back to a country that i've never lived in raymond you mentioned that you were born in the philippines can you relate to this idea of living in the shadows and what is that like for people that don't understand that certainly for people that don't don't

understand the concept of living in the shadows when when you're an undocumented person and when you're really it's hard to understand exactly what it means to be undocumented most parents if they tell their children at all that they are undocumented. they caution them against. sharing their immigration status with anyone because if you tell the wrong person that could put your entire family in jeopardy of being sent back to a country that you were so long ago and that was certainly what my parents told me and for the longest time i didn't share my immigration status with anyone and when i finally did i was met with this with this indifference and with this confusion like. why is it that that our system prevents you from being able to access the same benefits that we have had access to growing up like a driver's license like being able to work legally like being able to think about

where you're going to go to college without that kind of fear and anxiety and it wasn't until after the dot those programs inception in two thousand and twelve when immigrants were finally able to truly come out of the shadows and and share their stories just like so many are doing today right me not going to pitch a few standing on the doorstep with your i need to run and i know people as you were telling your story will one day how come he didn't have documents because everyone has a different story as to how they in the united states and then had to sign up to dhaka because they wanted to be out of the i think that the pay is weakening the what's your story how do you get cabinet documents what happened to you you know yes so so that's a really good question and i would definitely preface by saying that every single undocumented person here in this country has their own unique story and everyone gets to where they are through their own set of unique circumstances and for me i

moved here to the united states from the philippines when i was one and we came illegally my father at the time had actually given up his dreams of going to medical school because he had met my mother and promised her that one day he was going to take our entire. and we see the united states so that we could pursue better opportunities. the education system here in america is so much better than in the philippines be the infrastructure and just just there were opportunities here in this country that were not available where we came from and for about ten years or so we lived here in this country my dad was working as a physical therapist and we lived a seemingly normal life and it wasn't until about the age of ten for me when things started to go really downhill when when my. parents when my father applied for a green card for all of us but in order to get that green card he had to pass

a set of english examinations. in english exams that that tested his speaking ability his writing is listening. and his reading comprehension and he was able to pass every section of that test except for the speaking section which he failed over and over and over again by very small margins and eventually the immigration and naturalization service denied our applications for a green card because he couldn't pass that one section of that test and we were unable to we exhausted all of our opportunities for appeal and eventually we were left with a very important choice do we stay here in the united states and risk. being arrested and deported back to a country that we left over ten years ago because we had overstayed visas or do we stay here in the united or do we go back to the looking and build

a new life there and obviously we decided to stay because this is our room and i know that there's empathy and understanding among our community members for your story because that i've seen stories like it but there's also this floating around the internet this is not specifically from our community but i wanted to share these tweets because some of them are replies to president donald trump himself says why are dr illegal spacing uncertainty their parents chose to break the law and our government has chosen to ignore it i'm going to show a few more so donna this person says just another fine example of our higher educational system i had to pay for my kids' college doctor's get a free ride no loans for them and william says i couldn't afford to send my daughter to college but these illegals get a free ride it's a lot to talk about or for you ride your university now what do you make of that and how will that change in these next six months if it all well first of all i will say to address the term illegal no human being is illegal and we don't

consider ourselves illegals to address the free ride aspect of it i graduated high school in the state of georgia in two thousand and five and was not able to go to college in that state i was barred from entering any of the big five universities there and i had no way to get federal grants loans private scholarships the pell grant it was all borrowed from me i had to give up my dream of going to college at nineteen years old when i'd seen all my friends move on and pursue their dreams i had to wait nine years to be able to go to college the normal american student the normal american child growing up in america does not have to wait nine years for the chance to go to school they can follow that traditional path where they take off all of these boxes these rites of passage that i was unable to take off i was unable to get my driver's license at sixteen. obviously i'm not able to vote there's a lot of things that i missed in those years that took me a long time to achieve the very few people who understand what that feels like

catalina you must understand what that feels like absolutely as the transgender woman and the doctor recipient i would tell you the end society around the opportunity to participate in the formal economy and i say that because there's two things two of the tweets that you just read that i that i think it's important to. the mystify and one of them is in the of course no human being if illegal coming in being an authorized immigrant is not a criminality status right and i think than most folks in the united states take it to a god level not understanding their own immigration laws it is equivalent to a civic infraction and so when we're crimmin the licensing is just another way of dividing supremacy to take all sorts of groups of people people of color and put them in a box where we are seen as demons and bought people we have access to anything so

like before we even have a conversation in dhaka we need to talk about what daca extends and dhaka is nothing but the opportunity to for you the nefesh area to purchase the employment authorization card but it's almost five hundred dollars right you'll you'll pay a little bit pay for what you're paying for your paperwork yes you get the paperwork and i don't i'm presuming absolutely you can just navigate legal channels without legal assistance to that once you get a day for action for childhood arrivals it does not guarantee a job that. it really jade's your ability to enter the formal economy and apply for jobs as a trans woman that was really difficult there's no employment protections for transgender people now that i hold the job we have the current administration to read and mean that on and so it's the inside is the fear and also the law is

right this is not unconstitutional there is legal precedent we think the executive branch that has shown year after year from reagan. bush clinton that prosecutorial discretion has been you and it has been used throughout the administrations to provide relief for different groups of immigrant whether it's victims of the haiti earthquake a couple of years ago who were extended temporary protected status. or doctored with it beans and so i think. we must buy the life you've got to do you know you mentioned some of the hurdles one could call them you have to go through to actually make sure that you were listed under doc a status so even with all of that there are still fears me going to want to direct a tweet to you this is someone who tweeted in saying that dreamers can't return to the shadow if all their information was given away and so part of that is those hurdles was giving your information willingly to the government and in the exchange

for this study is that people now are fearing what that might mean are those fears about dated and what should they do with them yeah i mean we know that this administration has given us mixed signals about dr recipients before this announcement they've arrested and detained some doctor recipients despite saying they wouldn't in some instances most recently one of those instances. if you always daco recipient you all temporarily legal and you have documentation how can then you be detained also there was an instance and. seattle where they arrested i believe they arrested the man they doctor recipient because they were arresting his father who didn't have dhaka and then as frankly lied and said oh he's a member of a gang so we're justifying rescinding his dhaka but there is absolutely no basis

for that his lawyer said it was absolutely made up and it's not the first or the only time we've heard that ice which is immigration enforcement agents have have lied about and for some and because essentially this administration has given them free reign to do whatever they want so while the me you know trying to treated that doctor recipients. information will be safe for the police the next six months. you know we don't we don't really know what's gonna happen i would say for the majority of folks they're not going to immediately go after them to deport them at least in the short term but they're the most recent changes their mind every day and for some folks they may get swept up in rain or you know i don't force action i'm just going to chair tweet raymond she tweeted this on the fifth of september heard the guardia waiting for a flight to atlanta by gate of god a airport is in new york woman to her husband was finally starting to get rid of these damn and needles are you feeling that

america has changed in its attitude toward you or is this just a random woman who doesn't know what she's talking about i think it's really interesting you know i think these are really the you know go big beliefs about immigrants in this country and about people of color in general have been around for decades but i think that with the election of a presidential term last november. a lot of it has has gone from being very late sense to now being very visible and very palpable and i think. with the election of trump last year it's validated so many people's belief in how we should treat people in this country who are not who don't fit into that mold of what it means to be american so there's that but at the same time now more than ever i see this this surge of people who are incredibly supportive who are starting to show

more and more empathy towards the plight of immigrants in this country especially undocumented immigrants especially immigrants who are who are doubly persecuted people who are part of the in the l.g.p.l. take human community perhaps who are also undocumented and i i just see this really great outpouring of support and i have no doubt that with this kind of movement that we're building all over the country that we will mount whatever kind of defensive we need against this this administration to ensure that the almost one million dollar recipients who are here in this country today are percent. we're continue to be protected from deportation through legislative action so we're going to continue to fight and we're going to continue to push and it's not even just about the eight hundred thousand or so about the recipients it's about all eleven million of the documented immigrants who are here in this country and i would push

back against the narrative. that that these children who are doctor recipients who came here through no fault of their own who who are young and innocent and. they shouldn't have to pay for the sins of their parents i think it's really important for people to realize that everyone who comes here to this country comes here for a reason and that is in the search of better opportunities for themselves and their family and i think that everyone can relate to that and it's not fair to demonize our parents and the human eyes that our relatives who brought us here at of for us to be able to stay here permanently i want to share a video comment we got from someone named possum i sees a doctor recipient take a look at my laptop here he was profiled in this daily beast article in twenty sixteen coming out as an undocumented muslim immigrant in trump's america and she talks about her mom who was an undocumented immigrant who received work papers

underneath the reagan administration and so at one point was working in a trump hotel have a listen to what she told the stream. i think what's interesting about my story is that my mother actually worked at a tram you know for over fifteen years in atlantic city so the trump name has actually been kind of this looming presence in my life since childhood and it's definitely syria knowing that he's president and now my parents employer so many here are trying to say that he's going to create more jobs for americans i find it ironic because his organization benefited from hiring an undocumented immigrant my mother who was loyal to this company from mr over a decade before been bankrupt so his administration's lack of support for daca and for immigrants benefits nobody in fact it hurts business owners like himself. so all three of our guys are kind of dotting their head there's a donahue or

a new or maybe not being the most vociferously so i'll passes over to you but there's a lot of talk about there being an economic incentive for dr recipients to stay and i know that you told our producers ahead of the show you've been paying taxes since you were nineteen so you are contributing to the american society what do you make of her comment she was absolutely right we came to this country and we knew there were laws that we had to obey so we went out of our way to be able to pay taxes when we had a job and follow the rules as they were set out and even though i couldn't go to college at nineteen when i got a job i wanted to pay taxes i wanted to contribute i wanted to put in my share because i knew someday i was going to do better things and i wanted to be part of the country and as she said my mom as well as been working in this country for the past twenty years and she's been paying taxes as well we were not taking from anyone else's were contributing to the whole thing any conversation around immigration haas too closely look at foreign policy and the way the united states

will stop in the world is the extremely militaristic and predatory capitalist meaning i would so. says like small businesses in other countries exacerbating poverty i come from colombia the united states' involvement in colombia the war on drugs is a push factor of migration as he has few and over fifty year civil war in my country so that to repeat the sapiens we are as diverse as those of the world and i think that when discussing immigration foreign policy must be center so people in the united states take accountability for the ongoing waves the migrants in this country because we don't come here bios mosts we don't come here because one day we wake up and say let me out brood my life let me learn a new language let me go to an welcoming society that looks down on me because many of us know the united states has a hierarchy of rights and he does not look like

a transgender woman of color and so for some of us to be in this country is still trauma inflicted but we have to our way the realities in our countries and i appreciate raymond's commentary around vulnerable populations within the undocumented populations because as a transgender woman. i am aware that over eighty countries criminalize people based on sexual orientation and gender identity and by criminalization i mean this is this is people who go to prison or often are given a death sentence for being themselves and so you would in approximately seventy five thousand doctor recipients are part identify as transgender queer it seem porton for us to put things into perspective because this is the intersectional what am i supposed to do my family will inflict violence for me just because of who i am so some of us don't have anywhere to go i was the first and documented

transgender woman at georgetown university i came here at the age of fourteen and i would tell you that there's no make me more do you serving than people who are plucking feathers art of a chicken or working our lands this people do serve the same humanity political conversations of immigration why because there is no way that you can blame that immigrant eleven million of us for for being in this country there's so much to talk about and so little time meghan if you all watching on you know a duck a recipient you all want what should you be doing right now at the very last moment what should they be doing well if you are a doctor recipient you should be checking to see if you're eligible for renewal because the renewal deadline is october fifth which is very soon right and only people who. i said iris by march fifth can renew but they should

that's really important get the word out by the other thing is everybody should be calling their members of congress and senators siena says donna raymond thank you for sharing those stories we really appreciate it good luck to watching everybody see you on line. in the next episode of science in a golden age i'll be exploring the contributions made by scholars during the medieval islam of the period in the field of chemistry they transformed the
