The Dreamer Chronicles, Part 1

With meaningful immigration reform still out of reach, youth-led immigration activism bolsters other, more localized groups looking to secure paths to citizenship for undocumented minors.  Their efforts have spawned new debates over national policies like the DREAM Act and put pressure on President Obama to do something for undocumented students in the United States.  So, writes Joaquin Magon, we have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).  "It’s about the rest of the folks that organize around the issues and push forward a movement that will most likely never remember their name."   The Diary of Joaquín Magón looks at the intertwining themes of immigrant reform, education, and youth activism, on Coachella Unincorporated.
