Y'all ready for a "did you know?" thread about undocumented immigrants? Well sit down & you'll see how it's not as simple as people think

Did you know there are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US? This is also not by chance but b/c of broken policies

It's still hard to believe that the #DACA program ended today, and that there is still no concrete legislation passed for 800,000 of us.

you know something, DACA really changed things. Not only for 800,000 of us, but for our families & communities. For me it came my senior yr

You cant undo our work as DACA recipients. You cant take back our education. You cant unsee our stories of triumph and struggles #HereToStay

A thread of what #DACA is and isn't because #DACA works and it is nothing close to a "free ride."

#DACA is a workers permit. It is not a way to go to college. We still do not qualify for federal aid (FAFSA/Pell grants/student loans)

DACAmented folks PAY taxes. We (all undocumented imm) even add to Social Security taxes & don't see any of it.
