Dreamers: An Immigrant Generation’s Fight for Their American Dream Audiobook (Free)

Dreamers is a movement publication for the generation brought to the United States as children-and at this point fighting to live right here legally

From the approximately twelve million undocumented immigrants living in america, as much as two million came as kids. They grow up here, going to elementary, middle, and high school, and then the country they call home won’t-in most states-offer financial aid for college and they’re unable to be legally used. In 2001, US senator Dick Durbin about Dreamers: An Immigrant Generation’s Combat for Their American Dream released the DREAM Take action to Congress, an effort that would allow these teenagers to become legal residents if indeed they met specific requirements.

And now, a lot more than ten years later on, in the face of congressional inertia and furious opposition from some, the Wish Act has yet to be exceeded. But lately, this young generation has begun organizing, and with their rallying cry “Undocumented, Unapologetic, and Unafraid” they will be the newest encounter of the individual rights movement. In Dreamers, Eileen Truax illuminates the stories of these women and men who you live proof a complex and sometimes concealed political fact that calls into query what it truly means to become American.
