The same shadows that he arranged all the way up to Luis Otero live with his 23º complements. It was January 6th, when hordes of trumpeters stormed the Capitol of Washington, the city in which it studied and worked Otero, in order to prevent Democrat Joe Biden from running for president. Biden’s victory means a lot to many people. But for young people like Otero, who crosses Mexico with his fathers when he was ten years old, who enters because he was undocumented in adolescence and who did not know another hogar that United States, supposes “an oil of life and happiness and hope de que la pesadilla iba a terminar ”.
On his first day at the White House, Biden made it clear that migration reform would be one of its priorities. Pocas horas despu de su investurura el miércoles, enlio al Congreso una proposition de legislation que contempla la regularization de los 11 millons de undocumentados que se calcul que viven en pais de plao de och aosos, una vez que se verifique cumllos requis as there are no previous criminal penalties and there are already days with the tax burden. And at the top of the colloquial priorities are around 700,000 dreamers (soñadores), termine with what is known to those young women as Otero, to those whose fathers lived in the United States without papers when they were children and who Barack Obama protected in 2012 with the program DACA (acronym in English of Action Diverida para los Llegados en la Infancia). The reform that Biden was sending to the congresses at the time of the congress to transfer the permanent residence to the dreamers. The presidential firm also has an executive order relying on its governor who holds all the steps to preserve and enforce DACA.
The DACA program does not offer to young people a road to residence or citizenship, but there is protection against deportation and renovation work permits, which allow them to continue with their studies and build a future in the country that constitutes their only hogar . Without support for the Capitol, Obama’s procedure by decree and the DACA contemplation as a permanent option, but as a precautionary measure that the Legislative Congress, which we have not sued until we have passed. Amparándose in this supuesta extralimitation of the executive power by his predecessor, President Trump two during four years DACA in the point of mira of his offensive against immigration. Siguieron cancellations of the program, pleas, luchas has the most high judicial authority. The life of the dreamers, taken to the center of the national political debate, are now in full swing.
“Everything Biden has heard is now the opposite of what Trump is representing, and he understands what immigrants bring to this country,” said Otero, who is about to appoint a master, working on a consultation. , and is looking for his sueño to convert into the first person of his family “to occupy a corporate cargo”. “Last months he lived with a lot of respect. Creo that the people voted to represent what Trump represents, but after the elections there were moments of much anguish, all over the place with the Capitol. It’s our record that not everything is pink, that there are many obstacles to delinquency. There is a lot of people who think like Trump and are available everywhere. The feeling that we share a lot dreamers is of optimism, but with the precaution of not seeking illusory demise. A sense of hope with caution ”.
“Migration reform is well received,” said Karina Díaz, director of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, an organization that promotes a permanent solution for the dreamers. “But we must include automation, because we have more than one year with the program.” Mexicana de 36 años, licenciada en bioquímica, Díaz llegó a Estados Unidos en 1999, cuando sus padres emigraron sin papeles in Phoenix (Arizona), en 2012 se Benefit van die acción diferida de Obama. “We are on a good truck, but there are problems with the Republicans. We hope that this Administration will take over its company, because it is what our people need, ”said Díaz.
Although Biden has unveiled the congressional bill in the run-up to his presidency, it is likely that the debate will end, as lawmakers need to deal with urgent issues related to the sanitary and economic crisis of the coronavirus and the second political trial. President Donald Trump, who will be appearing in the Senate this weekend. Moreover, in order to secure its approval, eliminating the possibility of a blockade on the part of the Republicans in the run-up to filibusterism, the Democrats need 60 of the 100 votes in the Chamber of Deputies, which are divided between the two parties.
This means that, in addition to the 50 Democrat senators, the support of 10 Republicans is needed, so it is complicated at one point that this party has radicalized its vision of respect for migration. “There are many themes in which we can work cooperating with Biden, for a general amnesty for the people who are here illegally not to be one of them,” said Republican Senator Marco Rubio. Biden’s migration reform will, however, be a testament to the ability to test the viability of its proposed tenders between the two parties in the Capitol.
“The president must say that he has the political capital, but also the power of the people”, says Díaz, who assures that these groups like his are preparing to campaign against the senators who are blocking car migration reform to the Legislative Commissions of 2022. “The basic organizations that have been involved for more than a decade have been allied in this battle and can be mobilized, as well as the hiccups to overthrow Senate control in these elections. We are moving the movement of our people, and we want a retreat ”.
According to data from the Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS, by its English flags), 75% of the protégés by DACA process in Mexico, ten years of media and the oath of allegiance to the six. Traditionally, there is the group of documentaries that most sympathizers have found in both parties of the political spectrum. Including the Trump proposal, he promised to offer on one occasion a visa to the city, but he planted it as a change of month: he added an option to reclaim the land for other migrants in irregular situations.
For Diaz, maintaining the temporary status means you can get an emergency permit to travel to Oaxaca to enter your father, which failed the November month of covid in Phoenix. Ahora, la dreamer sueña con that approves the migration reform in order that its mother can legalize and reunite with the rest of the family. “Now it’s going to be the most difficult time,” he warned. “As if you were in a marathon, you were looking at the meta and circles that could not be more, but there were others who would follow me. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel, but we can not wait for it ”. “The only way to ensure that the reform is pursued is that the migrant community does not wait for the accelerator,” said Otero saam. “We will continue to press the Democrats, who have also dropped us in the past. Y lograr doblegar un poco a los republicanos y que sus corazones sean más bondadosos ”.
