With her aunt, she made it to the United States and across the border, joining her parents, who had crossed a few years earlier.  After securing DACA relief, Josseline earned a college degree and is a contact tracer during the pandemic.  She hopes for more permanent relief.  Josseline’s undocumented parents are more vulnerable.
