My name is Jasmine Lopez, I’m 11 years old and I’m a U.S. citizen. If Congress doesn't take action now, I may not have my mom with me for the holidays.
Why is this important for me? Because I’ve already experienced something close to losing my dad, and I don’t want that to happen ever again.
I was born in Florida, but both my parents were born in Mexico and are living in the U.S. undocumented. Even though they were always careful when driving to work or to the grocery store, one day things got real for all of us. My dad was detained while driving because he couldn’t get a drivers license. Thankfully, we were able to get him out of detention so he wouldn’t get deported.
As a kid in this country, I have the constitutional right to pursue happiness. But without a Dream Act that allows my mom to stay and doesn't hurt my dad, I’m not fulfilling my right. That’s why, instead of writing a letter to Santa this year, I decided to write a letter to Congress and ask them to act now. Last week, I even flew to Washington D.C. to deliver my letter directly to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, but he wouldn’t open the door for me.
My mom’s DACA expires on December 22nd, the exact same day as the deadline that Congress has to make a decision. Please, Congress, put in a vote. Allow my childhood to continue instead of ending it by separating my family.
All I want for Christmas is Congress to pass a clean Dream Act. It would be like a miracle for many immigrant families like mine.

Isn’t Teen Vogue the magazine which pushes anal sex for teen girls?
Guess he has no interest in his heritage and or his parents have told him what a chit hole Mexico is.
Hey, Jasmine. Trump is literally Hitler. You don’t want to be in a country with Hitler, literally! Get out while you can.

Funny thing....that’s what I want for Christmas too!
All illegals and their anchor future democrats need to go home.
Don’t care that you were “born” in Florida, Jazmine. You are NOT a US citizen BECAUSE of your parents.
Go home with your parents Jasmine! A solution that satisfies everyone...
Anal sex is birth control....... doncha get it?
If Jasmine’s parents loved her, they would take immediate steps to move back to Mexico and have a good life there instead of living on the fringes here.
With an excellent states-side education as a gift, be mindful that Mexico needs well-educated people like you to improve their society so other people, like your parents, in the future won't feel like barging illegally over the border.
Christmas isn’t a Woke holiday, Jasmine. You shouldn’t want anything for Christmas.
Absolutely. As long as we willfully continue to misinterpret the 14th Amendment as conferring birth-right citizenship. We've done that by ignoring the "subject thereof" clause which applies to non-citizens and their progeny, who are subject to the governments of their native lands.
She’s also lying. I’ve visited with many Representatives and senators office staffs as part of a lobbying effort for an organization we belong to.
Most often, you don’t get past the receptionist, sometimes you speak with an aide or the Chief of Staff. Almost no one speaks with the actual member. But, everyone gets in the door. Everyone.
Last week, I even flew to Washington D.C. to deliver my letter directly to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, but he wouldn’t open the door for me.
My mom’s DACA expires on December 22nd, the exact same day as the deadline that Congress has to make a decision.

Youre illegal alien dacaca mother is much older than I was when I left the only country I had ever known and went to a country I had never lived in before...Oh that’s right...your mother is an illegal alien while I was an IMMIGRANT...
Congress has until March to decide on what to do about the illegal alien dacacas...
The split infinitive in the headline tells me all I need to know about the writer of this article.
Secondly, I thought the word “Christmas” was no longer permitted in polite (elite) society.
Let’s make a wish come true here. Let’s deport her parents the day after Christmas.
Take the brat with you.

“So if an illegal breaks into my house and drops a kid then they can live there permanently?”
And, apparently, if the authorities DID grab the parents and deport them to their originating country...you’re stuck with the kid.
No one considers allowing the kid to travel back with her parents...not even the kid.
One of my 8th grade History students had a big whiny in class because deporting illegals isn’t faaaaaaaair! Whaaaaa, why are you so meeeeeeean to my grandmother! She’s niiiiiice! Why close the border?
In short...
“Uh, excuse me, girlie, do you have locks on your doors?
Yes.
But why? That’s so unfaaaaaaair!
But, but...
So, girlie, it would be ok for me to come into your house uninvited, sit on your couch, watch your tv and eat your snacks?
No.
Same with illegals. They weren’t invited and they’re eating my taxes.
Whaaaaa!”
Thankfully, the bell soon rang.
And keep driving... South.
