Maria wants to work and live legally in the U.S. but has no way to do so. She told me. "Luis. I am too scared to leave the house unless I have to. so we drive to school. we drive to church. and we drive to the grocery store. and that is it." Maria knows anything else is too risky because any contact with the police could mean she gets deported and her family is split up. So. today. I give thanks that Maria and her family in just a few months will sign up for that same peace of mind my family has because she will be eligible for deferred action for parents of U.S. citizens. and I will think of Maria and her children no matter how many times the Republican majority makes me vote on bills to attack the Presidents actions that he is taking because they will prevent American citizen children from losing their parents.
