The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over whether to keep the program, Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. The Trump administration wants to end the program that allows recipients temporary protection from deportation. LPHS partner Andrés Correa told the Dallas Morning News Spanish-language newspaper, Al Día, that he still has hope even if the Supreme Court rules against continuing DACA, “I think that there is still hope because the general public supports these young people; it’s a country that really gives opportunities that people do support. I think there is hope, but it’s going to be a long and uncertain road. And, unfortunately, the help that the young people need to study is today,” he said.
Spanish quote: “Yo creo que sí hay esperanza porque el público en general apoyan a estos jóvenes; es un país que realmente da oportunidades, así que sí lo apoya la gente. Yo creo que sí hay esperanza, pero va a ser un camino largo y muy incierto. Y lamentablemente la ayuda que necesitan estos jóvenes para estudiar es hoy día”, dijo.
