In We the DREAMers, Josefina Vázquez Mota explores the laws and statistics, and above all highlights the narratives and emotions behind the life stories of these DREAMers whose only objectiveis to fulfill their dreams.

This volume introduces you to some of ...

I was born in a small town that at that time had about 300 inhabitants between children and adults ... I am a simple person, not very happy but not bitter. I am always willing to help those who need it; I do not wait for me to go begging, I offer help. I do not have much education I went to school for a short time. I finished sixth grade until I had 15 years old, but I remember that since I was young I liked to write stories, although I had never had the opportunity to publish them. I hope these stories reach your hearts and I also hope they like you. I want you enjoy them so much that you want to read them all... and other stories more. Remember that reading gives you education and culture. A part of these stories is true. A common occurrence for some people, whether by nature or custom, is to criticize or judge others and, often we do not realize that we make that person, or their family feel bad. Sometimes we can even physically or mentally harm them. Among the stories written here, one is true. It speaks of a little girl who has been criticized since her birth but has had the intelligence to turn criticism into positive energy. She has not stopped to listen to mediocre...
My dad envies me. I've been an orphan since I was eight months old. Unfortunately, I was mistreated by a bad and envious father, and my whole life has been a torment with him. I will describe, in this book, my father as the person who has done the most harm to me throughout my life, for I have never encountered another person like him. Throughout my life, he has sabotaged my achievements, put me wrong with all the family and friends, and never wanted me to get ahead because he feels less than me. Of course, I have forgiven him for all the evil he has done to me, and I ask God to give him good things despite all the damage he has done to me and even though he has never asked me for an apology. I hope that no one will suffer what I have suffered and that there are no more other fathers like him.

La razón y la intención por la cual hice este libro fue recoger todos mis “escritos” repartidos en los festivales colombianos, un pedido de algunos de mis paisanos; también, recordar aquellos refranes de los abuelos, frases de canciones, pero lo más importante, no olvidar nuestra cultura. Año tras año, desde que llegué a Los Ángeles con mi esposo, hijos e hijas, fui mostrando mi añoranza por Colombia, y todos sus “achaques” que le ha quejaban. Me sentía impotente al no poder siquiera, “rezongar” cuando desprestigiaban mi patria. Es por esto que, en un inglés con barreras muy altas, grité: I am Proud to be Colombian! Cada “escrito” es una lágrima derramada con mucha nostalgia, que se ha vuelto un huevo, ¡Sí!, un huevo de Cóndor, que necesita, incubación, ser leído, para que, ya convertido en un pichón, comience a volar despacio hasta alcanzar la altura de sus ancestros.

Was she going to buy a plane? Was Jenni’s death truly an accident? This book describes...
