How it feels to be a "DREAMer" | A Few Things to Know | NPR

We talked with five Houston "DREAMers" the day President Trump announced a possible end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA.

“For me, to have DACA today feels very uncertain,” said Karen Martinez. “But I’ve always known that DACA is not a permanent solution for my situation in this country. So I’m really hoping that this activates other people and our communities so we can fight for a permanent solution, because we cannot keep living like this.”

This video was filmed in downtown Houston, TX.
