They were criticized for being too provocative and too critical in demanding immigration reform.
When some of them arranged for youths who had been deported to try to come back across the Mexican border, setting up a showdown with the Obama administration over whether they would be allowed to return to the U.S., even the most enthusiastic immigration activists balked at their strategy.
And when these group of young activists, undocumented youths who had grown up in the United States and are known as Dreamers, locked horns with even some Democrats who were leading the push for immigration reform particularly President Barack Obama himself immigration activists grew frustrated, claiming it was wrong to direct criticism at the president, someone who sympathized with their cause.
The so-called Dreamers, however, did not back down in fact, they pushed back harder when immigration reform failed to materialize.
And so when Obama delivered his prime-time speech last Thursday, announcing that he was issuing an executive order that would suspend deportation for up to 5 million undocumented immigrants, the Dreamers felt vindicated.
It was their single biggest victory so far the largest change in immigration in many years. And with that, they recaptured the drivers seat in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform.
We got a lot of backlash for going after Obama, said Erika Andiola, one of the most prominent Dreamers pushing for immigration reform, to Fox News Latino. But he is the president of the United States, he said he supported immigrants, but Dreamers were saying he was getting them and their families deported.
At the end of the day, it was that pressure that created a moral crisis and played a part in pushing the president to issue the executive order.
- Lucy Allain, immigrant activist
Since 2009, the Dreamers have taken a fledgling campaign that was focused on getting a law that would provide young undocumented immigrants with a chance to live and work in the United States, and turned it into the engine of immigration advocacy that has broadened to include legalization for many groups of people who are here illegally.
