Why I May Get Deported -- DACA
So what recently happened is, well, let me just start by saying this. It's 9:45 right now, and about 15 minutes ago, our flight started boarding for Australia. But we're sitting here at my house because I found out this morning that I'm not allowed to leave the country. Ever again. That was so dramatic. I am, roll the intro music again. No, I'm allowed to leave the country. If I leave, I can't reenter. And I found this out because I am what you would, I'm protected under DACA. And long story short, DACA is an executive order made by Barack Obama to basically help childhood arrivals, kids that came here without basically their consent or without their idea of coming here, 'cause their parents brought them overseas or brought them from wherever, and they basically grew up here. So like me, I'm not a citizen, I don't have a visa, I don't have a green card. I would basically be an illegal citizen if it wasn't for DACA. But I was raised here since I was 5, and I'm as American as it gets. You know I'm pretty American.
