Dreamers face fresh blow in long fight to stay: ‘They view us as second class’

Many Daca recipients in limbo about their future in the US, the country they have called home for years, after judge's ruling

The Texas federal judge Andrew Hanen found the revised Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (Daca) policy, which shields thousands of immigrants brought to the US as children, illegal last week - after a five-year legal battle about the program's existence that has left many Daca recipients in limbo about their future in America.

For one educator and activist, Alondra Garcia, the ruling is another blow in the long fight for a permanent solution for many like her to be seen in the country they have called home for years.
