Because of you, 1000 #DREAMers will be able to go to college Jeff Bezos who is also the owner of the Washington Post narrated the story of his father who left Cuba at the age of 16 as a part of Operation Pedro Pan. According to him; He landed in this country alone and unable to speak English. With a lot of grit and determination — and the help of some remarkable organizations in Delaware — my dad became an outstanding citizen, and he continues to give back to the country that he feels blessed him in so many ways The Obama administration in 2012 introduced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program aka DACA to allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.
