6 DREAMers Met the President Yesterday. Here Are Their Stories:
Six young people visited the President in the Oval Office yesterday and had one thing in common: They were all brought to America by parents dreaming of a better life for their children.
These six DREAMers talked to the President about their stories and aspirations. Many of them didn't discover that there was something different about them -- something that might prevent them from giving back to their community and their country -- until they were about to go to college. Their experiences mirror those of millions more young people across the country.
Take a look at their stories, and learn how the President's actions on immigration have transformed their lives.
