A Mexican native whose mother brought him to America at age 1 said President Trump has shown "leadership and compassion" toward DACA recipients like himself, while Democrats have conversely used them as "pawns."
Hilario Yanez, who goes by Eli, said Trump showed courage to tackle the illegal immigration issue comprehensively during his first year in office.
"Here's a guy who wants to provide a pathway to citizenship for myself and really make a difference in my life," he said, adding that if the president believes a border wall is necessary for national security, then he would support it. He's offered a path to twice the number of Dreamers that the Democrats have requested but Democrats insist on using us as pawns to get other things they want. For the Democrats it's about them, not Dreamers and they're willing to risk us being sent back to our native countries if they get their pink elephants.
