Tina was born in Mexico and brought to the U.S. when she was six months old. She attended school in San Jose and played on her high school soccer team. She went to a respectable four-year university, and she got good grades. She has never returned to Mexico or even left the United States.

To support herself, she has two jobs. She is a receptionist by day, working about 30 hours per week in a medical office. After work, she goes home and travels to a second job with her mother, where together they clean homes. Tina takes on two jobs because she lives with her younger siblings and her parents, and together they need the extra income.

Tina currently has a work permit through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). However, the current administration is attempting to take away this status from Tina and hundreds of thousands like her. Tina needs to determine her next steps in America, the only country she knows.
