MEChA de OSU’s outgoing Co-Chair was a part of the Our Stories: Immigrants of American Series, check out his story below

My story doesn’t begin until the story of my parents begins in the United States, to say otherwise would be foolish of me.

My story began when my grandfather emigrated to the United States and my mother followed because of the love she had for him.

It started with my father coming here with his siblings because there were better work opportunities for him.

My story began when my parents sacrificed an education to work for their families and provide for them when they left their lives behind in Mexico and came to the United States to work.

Immigration is what started the story of me.

The story of my siblings.

The story of a student who came to Oregon State University (OSU) alone and afraid, not knowing what to do or how to navigate this system.

Immigration is what got me to where I am.

A student at OSU.

President of the Memorial Union.

Student Trustee.

Wanting something more for my family, the same driving force that brought my parents to the United States, is the same force that continues on, generation after generation

With more to come, and more success to be had.

Building off of one another, committing each other to giving back to those who came before us.

That is how immigration impacted my life.

Via The New York Times

In the biggest setback yet for the Trump administration in its decision to end a program that protects undocumented young adults from deportation, a federal judge ruled Tuesday that the government must resume accepting new applications.

Judge John D. Bates of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia said the government’s decision to end the program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, was predicated on the “virtually unexplained” grounds that the program was “unlawful.”

The judge stayed his decision for 90 days, giving the Department of Homeland Security the opportunity to better explain its reasoning for canceling the program.
