Undocumented Immigrants Show Resilience With #HeretoStay Hashtag

Guerrero, who is known for her roles in the hit Netflix show “Orange Is the New Black“, and the CW Network’s “Jane the Virgin“, noted that Trump’s campaign has “emboldened anti-immigration sentiments across the country”.

During the campaign, Donald Trump made promises to deport thousands of illegal immigrants and build a wall on the Mexican border. She is just one of the immigrants who have overstayed in U.S. after their visas were approved for a period of stay in the states.

When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015, he placed the prickly issue of immigration at the forefront of his campaign. The fact that illegal aliens have been granted work permits under DACA and DAPA is no shield against deportation. “One source said that some in Virginia left for the border on Wednesday, the day Donald Trump was declared the victor”, Paul Bedard reports in the Washington Examiner.

“We’re operating in crisis mode”, he said. Ledesma said that she is urging her clients not to panic.

“I haven’t seen anybody lay out how you build a wall”, he said. “From now until January we won’t know, anything”.

Numerous questions are coming from people who want to know what’s going to happen to their pending application, as well as those wondering if they will be put at risk for deportation if they apply for DACA.

Ledesma immigrated to the US, so she is no stranger to the immigration process and how it’s changed over the years.

“The big concern around where we are headed as a country is really related to all of the vitriol that was said during the election cycle being moved into policy”, said Judith Browne Dianis, the executive director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights group. Claudia Steele says she went through the process to became a legal citizen. But, some say, laws protecting them should be passed through Congress – not through executive action.

The mayor also said police would continue to enforce Special Order 40, which bars officers from asking people about their immigration status.

Some Latinos support Trump and his stance on immigration.

She now hopes that her family and people around the country turn their fears into action. In that case, those who wanted to apply for DACA now should not assume that they will be able to receive it, as requests take several months to approve. Then in 2013, she and most of her family applied for and obtained USA citizenship.

Estrella says she had to calm her son down before taking him to school Wednesday, by reassuring him that she wouldn’t allow Trump to hurt him or his family.

“Before when I went out I didn’t think about [immigration enforcement] much”, he said.

A spokesman for McConnell didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

“I am as American as anybody else, just not on paper”, Reyes said.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best”. “You have to provide them with a picture of the possibilities”. They are USA citizens.

DACA was granted to immigrants without a criminal record and those who had a high school degree or were on track to get a degree or honorably discharged by the U.S. Military. “I don’t know how they could do it”.

“With the unexpected news of a soon-to-be Trump presidency, most in our community became anxious for their futures, panicked even”, the ACIJ statement said. “Now people are afraid of opening their mouths”.

“I’m not giving up DACA so easily, not going down without a fight”, Ruiz said.

“I am in limbo; but this is my home and we are not going anywhere”.
