The CMSC will produce an expanded version of our Advance Parole documentary to advocate for the restoration of DACA’s Advance Parole authorization

As you may already know, the CMSC is committed to educate about, and advocate for the reinstatement of the Advance Parole provision for DACA recipients. Thus, we plan to incorporate more stories, voices and testimonies from DACA-mented individuals who traveled with Advance Parole, who participated in our California-Mexico Dreamers Study Abroad Program, and also those who have been denied since September 5, 2017.

The current version of the documentary features Mayra Garibo, a Senior at CSU Dominguez Hills and a DACA recipient, who could not attend her dad’s funeral when he passed away in Mexico early this year. She applied for humanitarian Advance Parole and was denied twice. Mayra was unable to pay the last respects to her beloved father whom she had not seen in 17 years.  Now one of her grandparents has cancer and she wants to see him and take care of him before it is too late.

But given the administration’s heartless decision to suspend Advance Parole for Dreamers, Mayra must choose between her family in Mexico and her life in the United States.  Read More
