Episode 147: "I Could Never Call That My Home"

 What defines your home?  Is it the country you were born in? Is it the place you were raised in? Is it the area where you currently reside? Can a country still be considered your home if you have no memory of it? These questions are in the minds of recipients of DACA, The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy established by President Obama in 2012. This program allows some individuals with no lawful immigration status who entered the country as children to receive a deferred action from deportation and a work permit. There are a little over half a million DACA recipients in the US. Gabi is a 24 year old licensed vocational nurse who was born in El Salvador and came to this country when she was 4 years old. She shares her story with Sia Presser.
