Arlette Lozano came to this country 18 years ago from Mexico at age 8 when her mother sent her and her 3-year-old brother across the border with the help of a coyote — someone paid to smuggle people across the border.

It's part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals law, known as DACA. Undocumented immigrants who qualify — mostly people younger than 31 who attend school — are eligible.

DACA is not "federal law". It's Obama's dream act executive order.

...... immigrants in Lozano's position ..... Curious name for a felon, actually. "Immigrant" Redefine the term - redefine the argument.

County hospitals and clinics don’t turn illegal aliens away. They treat them, frequently without any payment at all.

I find the term “Undocumented Immigrants” to be offensively racist.
We must heretofore insist these people be referred to only as “Differently-Documented-Dreamers”. /s

Undocumented felons snooker chumps but the chumps feel good.
