They don't know what their futures are
going to hold. Who are they? There are 20,000 of them who teach in grade schools and middle
schools and high schools across the United States--20,000 of these
DACA-protected young people. When they lose their right to legally work
in America, they are finished as teachers--finished, out the door. These are 20,000 teachers who could be lost. In addition, there are students who are in a pretty tricky situation. About 30 of them go to the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of
Medicine in Chicago. They won the competition to be accepted at that
medical school because Loyola, unlike other medical schools, said they
will open competition to DACA-eligible people. Some of them are the
most brilliant kids in America who never dreamed that, in being
undocumented, they could make it to medical school. They have. They are
doing well.
