Immigration Ain't Easy Ep. 10: Juan Escalante
Manage episode 447355044 series 3592759
Juan Escalante personifies "self-preservation." He has had to overcome many obstacles throughout his life and he has persevered, primarily due to his own advocacy. Juan came to the United States from Venezuela with his family following the election of Hugo Chavez. Unfortunately, poor legal advice by an attorney left his family without legal status in the U.S. and Juan's journey to find a legal path began. Juan's story is an example of how delicate the immigration process can be and how one error or piece of bad advice can send you down the wrong path. He is a champion of the DREAM Act and DACA. Juan has thrived because of DACA and he still is fighting to keep it in existence.
