Since 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program has allowed more than 800,000 immigrants brought here as children to grow in their education, careers and communities. Now the Trump administration has announced an end to this program over the next six months, forcing some of us to live in legal limbo in the only country we know.
