'Los Otros Dreamers' Find Ways To Adapt To Living In Mexico

They call themselves “DREAMers,” a group of young undocumented immigrants who fight for a right to college education, military service, and a chance for a permanent legal status in the United States should the DREAM Act ever be enacted. But there are also “Los otros Dreamers” (The other DREAMers), a Facebook group created by former U.S. immigrants who are back in Mexico. They left their home country as children and graduated from an American high school but at some point in their lives, they faced deportation or a voluntary return. They now help each other with information on how to continue their education at Mexican institutions struggling with a limited Spanish-language proficiency and lots of red tape issues to ratify their American academic records.
