During Tuesday night’s State of the Union, President Donald Trump talked about an immigration compromise, including $25 billion for a border wall with cuts to legal immigration and a path to citizenship for 1.8 million undocumented immigrants called Dreamers.

Late last year, the Trump Administration decided to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA program. President Trump gave Congress six months to come up with a solution. If there isn't a solution, DACA protections will begin to expire in March. It has so-called Dreamers, worried about whether or not they will be deported.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, as of September 2017, nearly 700,000 people belonged to the program including 6,700 in Wisconsin.

Juana Tax Sandoval is one of the 6,700. She was brought to the United States when she was five and says she doesn’t remember a life outside the country.

For her, life was difficult before she was able to enroll in DACA. "It just came to a day in my life where my mom was like, 'oh you can't do this, you can't do that because you weren't born here,” Sandoval said through tears. "At that point I was like, what do I have to work towards? Why should I do good in school or do this or do that if I can't do anything here anyways?"

Sandoval graduated high school and because of DACA, she was able to get a job and a driver’s license, but, since then, life in the United States hasn’t always been easy. In fact, she's here now without her mom because she had to move back to Mexico. "My grandma passed away in 2015 and she had to help with all that situation, so me and my sister had to work full time," she said.

But as she works to make ends meet, she's constantly worried about her future.

"At this point I hope they continue giving us DACA because even if they give us DACA for the rest of our lives, that's still a great and huge step for us,” Sandoval said.

Even with the uncertainty, Sandoval is determined to keep her career dreams alive.

"I do want to go to school, I do want to go into the medical field and that's one of the goals that DACA has given me like, that I can do that now,” Sandoval said.

According to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, to qualify for DACA, individuals have to be brought to the U.S. before 2007, be younger than 16 when they were brought into the United States, either be in school or get the equivalent of a GED, have no felonies or major misdemeanors and not pose a risk to national security or safety.

If someone meets all those qualifications, then they need to turn in multiple forms, pay a fee and wait for approval.

After that whole process, if their paperwork is approved, the person becomes a DACA recipient, meaning they have temporary protection from deportation, can apply for a job and in Wisconsin also get a driver’s license.
