He doesn't even remember making the trek from
Chihuahua, Mexico, to Colorado. He grew up here, attended elementary
and high school here. He didn't even know he was undocumented until he
was in eighth grade. DACA has allowed Brayan to come out of the shadows and live with a
sense of security rather than anxiety and fear. In Brayan's words, DACA
has put hope in the hearts of the forgotten. What I want Brayan and others like him to know is: You are not
forgotten, not by me, not by those of us in the community who know you
and love you. I stand by Brayan's side, and I will fight to ensure that the DACA
program is continued for the 17,000 recipients in Colorado and 800,000
nationwide. The bottom line is that Brayan and others like him belong
here.
