Pro-immigration Democrat Congresswoman Delia Ramirez fights to save dreamer HUSBAND from deportation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The husband of newly-elected Illinois Democratic congresswoman Delia Ramirez, 39, could face deportation along with hundreds of thousands of others if Congress does not act to pass DREAM Act legislation during its next session.

Boris Hernandez, who married Ramirez during the pandemic, arrived in the US as a 14-year-old under a 2012 Obama-era policy known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

It allowed certain immigrants who came to the US as children, also known as 'Dreamers,' to apply for protection from deportation and to receive a work permit.

Hernandez is one such DACA recipient and has lived in the US for most of his life but even though he is legally married to Ramirez, a US citizen, it still means together they are a 'mixed-status family' and he is still not a US citizen, nor can her vote for his own wife.

1. I'd call my representative and tell them to give full consideration to this legislation

but she's already leading the effort. So I'm behind you Congresswoman Ramirez. I support you and your husband and your efforts.

4. This was passed when I met my wife.

They tried to kick us out with a 10 year ban on applying for re-entry.

Until VOX did this, I thought that everybody had forgotten it.
