No, they are super super fucked legally because they crossed the Rio Grande without papers (while my wife was 2). Because of that they will never attain citizenship, they are stuck in America for the rest of their lives. The only possible way for them to attain citizenship is if they go back to Mexico and stay out of the US for 10 years, which is untenable with their health. All the while their daughter was lucky enough to receive and keep her DACA long enough to find a US citizen to fall in love with (basically the only path to citizenship for DACA recipients). Her parents aren't so lucky just because they don't have the paper that says they simply overstayed their visa.

We make good money and pay a lot of taxes but this will always weigh us down.
