Marco was the first
person in his family to graduate from high school, but after
graduating, he could not get a job because he did not have a Social
Security card. He could not get a driver's license, and he could not
get a student loan--a bright future frozen in place. Marco felt trapped
in a system with no way forward. Then the last President announced DACA in 2012. Marco got his Social
Security card, his driver's license, and financial aid to attend the
University of Colorado. As he studied for a degree in finance, he
worked between classes and interned at our State capitol.
