This is what Jesus Contreras
wrote to me:
Houston is my home and these are my people. I love my
career--it's given me an opportunity to help people in ways I
never imagined I could. DACA means everything to me--I would
lose my license and certifications without it. I would be
sent back to a country I don't know and would lose
everything. Is that what we want to see happen here? Do we want to set up a
circumstance where this young man doesn't have a chance to continue to
serve people as he did during Hurricane Harvey in Houston, TX? Of
course not. The announcement by the President today that he is going to bring an
end to DACA, I guess, came as no major surprise, but I listened
carefully to what President-Elect Trump and what President Trump said
about DACA and Dreamers over the months. He said to me personally--he
looked me in the eye and said: Don't worry about these kids. We are
going to take care of the Dreamers.
