\u201cDACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] is staying! Look, turn on the news! Turn on the news!\u201d My grandma laughed with joy.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe it. I did as I was told and turned on the news, shocked, relieved and about ready to burst out in tears.<\/p>\n
This was June 18.<\/p>\n
Now, I am here, the beginning of July, excited for what my future could hold as an undocumented student even while living in a very Republican state.<\/p>\n
After hearing that DACA remains in place, I began to brainstorm ideas with former Nosotros United members about creating a fund specifically for undocumented families and students here in Idaho. This could include DACA renewal scholarships and\/or a stimulus-like check for families that are in need during this difficult time.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been working alongside one another, tossing ideas left and right, these past few days, trying to figure out what requirements would fit well into this idea we\u2019ve got brewing inside of our minds. And although the lines are blurry in some places, we are excited about what\u2019s to come for this fund, and for DACA especially.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t even explain how important it is to include all immigrants into our community and I know this program will do just that for Idaho. Because home is here! We are here to stay.<\/p>\n
NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cDACA [acci\u00f3n diferida para los llegados en la infancia] se queda!! Mira, enciende las noticias!<\/p>\n
\u00a1Enciende las noticias!\u201d Mi abuela se hech\u00f3 a re\u00edr de alegr\u00eda.<\/p>\n
No lo pod\u00eda creer. Hice lo que me dijo y encend\u00ed las noticias, sorprendida, aliviada y lista para estallar en lagrimas.<\/p>\n
Esto fue el 18 de junio.<\/p>\n
Ahora, estoy aqu\u00ed, a principios de julio, emocionado por lo que mi futuro podr\u00eda tener como estudiante indocumentado, incluso mientras viv\u00edendo en un estado muy Republicano.<\/p>\n
Despu\u00e9s de escuchar que DACA permanece en su lugar, comenc\u00e9 a intercambiar ideas con ex miembros de Nosotros United sobre la creaci\u00f3n de un fondo espec\u00edficamente para familias y estudiantes indocumentados aqu\u00ed en Idaho. Esto podr\u00eda incluir becas de renovaci\u00f3n de DACA y\/o un cheque de est\u00edmulo para familias indocumentados que lo necesitan durante este momento dif\u00edcil.<\/p>\n
Hemos estado trabajando junto a otro, lanzando ideas de izquierda a derecha, estos \u00faltimos d\u00edas tratando de descubrir qu\u00e9 requisitos encajar\u00edan bien en esta idea que tenemos en mente. Y aunque las l\u00edneas son borrosas en algunos lugares, estamos entusiasmadas con lo que vendr\u00e1 para este fondo y para DACA, especialmente.<\/p>\n
Ni siquiera puedo explicar lo importante que es incluir a todos los inmigrantes en nuestra comunidad y s\u00e9 que este programa har\u00e1 exactamente eso para Idaho. Porque nuestro hogar esta aqui! Estamos aqu\u00ed para quedarnos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
