"It's important for us because our lives are at stake. If this court gives a bad ruling, then obviously, we're going to challenge it as it goes up to the Supreme Court. But with the way the Supreme Court has been deciding a lot of the cases recently, this could be life-altering for not only myself, but for the other 750,000 DACA recipients around the country," he said."These are people who have been contributing economically for the last 10 years and more.
"When people think of DACA, they think of the Hispanic and Latino community. But that is not actually true. There are so many Asians who are DACA recipients too," Hyungja Norman, the executive director of Woori Juntos, said."We struggle every day in this country to live as an immigrant. I am an immigrant also. So I cannot be silent when our community is under attack."
"It's important we have visibility, so people can see that these are not just numbers, figures, and facts. But rather, these are actual people," he said."Here in Houston, we have doctors, nurses, paramedics, and more -- who were able to achieve this through DACA. If you take that away from them, they won't be able to serve our communities in that capacity."
