To the Editor:

I live in Princeton Junction and read Town Topics pretty often. I am writing to you with respect to your latest immigration article on DACA [“DACA Remains for Now; Dreamers Look for Permanent Resolution,” page 1, May 2]. I am a DACA recipient and I appreciate that the article mentions that we need a permanent solution, because we do. I came to the U.S.A., to Princeton, when I was 10 years old, along with my mom, and two little brothers; one was 5 years old and the other was 7 years old. We came without inspection and this has caused a series of issues for all of us that 20-plus years later, we still cannot fix, and that only immigration law changes can fix. On April 13, 2018, both of my brothers were raided by ICE and taken away from us. Without a permanent solution, I run the risk of having a similar fate, and that is extremely frightening. 

I wanted to thank you for writing about the subject and wanted to encourage you to write more in the future. I have been sharing my story with a lot of people lately and I am amazed at how little people know about immigration and the nightmare its laws can be. The more that is known about this issue, the more they will understand how black and white immigration law is and how inhumanely undocumented people are treated.
