The Dream 9
In 2013 nine people who were young when their parents brought them over decided to challenge the system to hopefully improve their future by not suffering from the affects of being "undocumented". You can listen to their story here or below.
Create a new blog post in your Spanish Blog Portfolio and complete 2 of the following tasks.
- Summarize the radio story The Dream 9 in your own words.
- Read about where the Dream 9 are now by clicking here. Are any of them now considered legal residents of the U.S? What is your reaction to how life is for them now? What questions does this raise for you about the United States immigration system?
- What would you do if your parents moved you to another country when you were very young and then as you become and adult and try to get post-secondary education or a job you find it difficult/impossible? Would you return to the country that you haven't been to since you were a little child? Would you try to find a way (wether "legal" or not) to try to stay in the country you've been in most your life? Explain your answer.
- Read Living the DREAM article and make a list of things people who are labeled as undocumented cannot due that others can.
