PPL Like Daniela are American, and have been in the US since they were kids. They dont know any other country, they grew up HERE! It’s CRUEL to ship them away to a foreign land in which they probably dont even know how to rebuild a new life (but why should they be forced to?)Imagine yourself being stolen away without warning, without preparation, and just being dumped into a whole new country without any support to figure out what to do? Put yourself in her shoesNightmare…..Please urge your representatives to protect Dreamers! -- source link
