Tulsa Chapter Of 'Dream Act Oklahoma' Tackle Tough Immigration Issues

Some Tulsans have fears of what Donald Trump's victory at the polls will mean for immigration.

Immigration hotlines said they've been flooded with questions since the election.

Regardless of their legal status, Trump's tough talk on the issue has stirred a lot of anxiety among immigrants.

A group of "Dreamers," people brought into this country undocumented at a young age through no choice of their own, met tonight to talk about impacts of a Trump presidency.

The questions tonight at the equality center: "how are you currently feeling following the presidential election?" and "how do you think it will affect you in the future?"

A lot of unknowns about immigration reform from the Trump administration, but one group is preparing.

All across America, groups like these are meeting to discuss the future of immigration.

More importantly, what's a Trump administration going to do with undocumented citizens and the people who immigrated here at a young age with no choice of their own?

"We want to let people know that this issue is going to decide our lives. We really want to empower people, our community to keep doing the right thing because that's what we're here for," said Jordan Mazariegos, Dream Act Oklahoma.

Mazariegos is the president of the Tulsa chapter for Dream Act Oklahoma.

This group tackles tough subjects like the future of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, President Obama's executive order on immigration.

Mazariegos said the fears right now vary, but includes the 'unknown.' 

"The unknown really, because he's said so much, he's backtracked and gone back and forth on so many issues, we really don't know what to do."

Mazariegos, a "Dreamer" himself, knows he and his group need to prepare for that unknown.

When he was 2 years-old, he was brought into the United States. 

Now his future is at the center of a political debate.

"I'm pursuing a degree. I'm a senior at OSU. I have accepted offers already from companies to exercise my degree and really, my future is at stake," Mazariegos said. 

Dream Act Oklahoma is hosting clinics and panels in the coming weeks to continue educating people on immigration law and reform before the inaguration.
