In a first, White House officials meet documented 'dreamers'

Documented ‘dreamers’, who are estimated to be about 250,000, grew up legally in the U.S. but risk deportation when they turn 21

For the first time, White House officials met a representative group of documented 'dreamers', mostly Indian-Americans.

The so-called documented ‘dreamers’, who are estimated to be about 250,000, grew up legally in the U.S. but risk deportation when they turn 21.

"We look forward to seeing positive policy change, both administrative and legislative, to end aging out," said Improve the Dream, a youth-led grassroots organization that is fighting for the cause of the documented dreamers.

Earlier this week, a large representative group of Improve the Dream met Betsy Lawrence, Deputy Assistant to the President for Immigration, and Erika L. Moritsugu, Deputy Assistant to the President and Asian American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.

Though these children have been coming to Washington DC for the past few years, this is the first time that senior White House officials have met them.

"I really appreciated meeting the White House officials who took time out of their day to come and listen to our stories and were willing to help us. I enjoyed meeting them and would like to thank them for all they have done to help us. As the first group in our situation to meet White House officials at the White house, it was a surreal experience and one that I will not forget," said Sri Harini Kundu.

Mr. Harini came to America when he was seven years old and since then has lived in three U.S. States of Texas, New Jersey and currently in North Carolina.
