Thread: Dreamers rush to renew DACA protection before Trump repeal takes effect

His younger brothers are citizens because they were born in the U.S., he said, and his parents hold Green Cards. They are living in the U.S. legally, he said, and he's looking into whether he has a pathway to citizenship.

The uncertainty of the future of DACA leaves Mendoza nervous, often worrying about how his wife would cope without him if he is deported. He would be sent to Mexico, a country he hasn't seen since he was 11 months old and where he knows no family.

Excuse me, but I don't understand this. Why wasn't he given a green card when his parents were given one? I thought when we handed out these green cards to someone then their wives and children got green cards too. Why would 2 illegal alien parents get green cards and their child not get one??!! Someone needs to explain this.
