      1.What is your opinion about the proposed federal immigration polices to revoke DACA protections? "I just don't think it's right to promise a group of people the chance to stay in this country to just then take it away."

    2. What, if anything, concerns you about immigration reform?  "Honestly the scariest thing about the reforms is the thought of all the families that are being torn apart over papers."

  3. Do you feel undocumented individuals should be detained and deported?
       "No, I don't believe anyone should be detained and kept somewhere. But I do think that they need to go about coming into this country legally so that this wont be an issue in their lives anymore."

4.   Do you personally know someone who is living in the U.S. illegally? How does that influence your opinion? 
       "My friend from high school lives here illegally, I don't know the whole story but I know his family is very protective of who he tells the truth to. Knowing him personally, it makes me think about how many other normal kids could be kicked out of the country even though it wasn't their choice to come here illegally."

 6.     With Texas State being an Hispanic-serving institution, do you feel administrators are adequately serving DREAMERS and protecting the student body?
      "Protection isn't really the issue that I think about. I think the teachers should do more to educate the students who aren't Hispanic about what's going on in our government."

7.     How do you feel about the White Supremacy fliers that were posted on campus encouraging people to deport undocumented citizens?

     "I honestly didn't see any of those fliers but I think its messed up and cruel for no reason. White supremacy is a way bigger issue and the Texas State should really have some sort of system to keep people in check."
