What Dreamers say
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the video below, we meet Dreamers who speak honestly about their sense of loss, their frustration, and their deep reluctance to give up on their American dreams. You\u2019ll meet Joshua Casillas, an accomplished student who dreamed of becoming a doctor in his hometown of Houston, Texas, but instead left home to study medicine at a university in Mexico. For Joshua, the constant stress of the threat of deportation had become too much to bear. As he says, \u201cthe future I dreamed of was over.\u201d<\/p>\n
We also meet Daniel Arenas, who grew up in South Carolina but, at the age of eighteen, returned to Mexico and founded a non-profit to help other Dreamers pursue their education and find job opportunities.<\/p>\n
We also meet Paola Morales, an honors student who reluctantly left her friends and family to go to college in Mexico.<\/p>\n
When Dreamers like Joshua, Daniel, and Paola\u2014young people with extraordinary talent, intelligence, drive, and ambition\u2014leave America behind, they are not the losers. America is.<\/p>\n
