Here And Now Interviews Wisconsin DACA Recipient

Lupe Salmeron:

I guess, like, it’s always on your mind, you know. It’s just subconsciously there. You don’t know if you’ll be able to use your degree when you graduate. You don’t know what’s going to happen, so you just kind of are like here powering through it, you know, trying to get it done. So that if you can, you know, have a life with it after like you’ll have that but if you don’t, you just kind of, you know, there back at where you were. But it just kind of, you know, makes me afraid for the future, you know. With DACA, I knew that like I would be able to use my degree. I knew that I’d be able to get an internship. I knew I’d be able to get a job. But with it kind of being up in the air, I'm really not sure what’s going to happen. I don’t know if I'll be employable. I don’t know…I don’t know what’s going to happen, so just kind of there, you know. We’re living in limbo again.
