by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Avalos graduated from Bellaire High School, married a U.S. citizen and has a son who turns one next month.“I don’t know anything here. I don’t know anybody here,” said Avalos, who has been staying with an uncle since August. “I’m basically a stranger here. It doesn’t feel like home. It’s really hard.”
“All of this happened when he was a child. He had no control over what was happening at the time,” Green said. “This is an injustice and we have to correct it.” "If you go back to get a visa, even if you’re eligible to get a visa, you can’t go back for 10 years," said Leon Fresco, an immigration attorney based in D.C."He was taking a risk."
