These Gen Zers are working to realize their American dream, but hit roadblocks without legal status
Camila Hernandez has been working minimum-wage jobs since she was 16. She's rung up McDonald 's orders and roasted coffee, but her least favorite job was working in warehouses preparing fresh food for delivery. No matter how many layers she wore, she was freezing in the refrigerated rooms of produce. "We were the youngest ones there," Hernandez said of herself and her sister, who worked alongside her. They felt out of place surrounded by their colleagues, mostly older migrant workers. Today, Hernandez is 22 and has a bachelor's degree. She works as a shift lead at a coffee shop in Sacramento, where she lives, earning $17.50 an hour. She wants a career with a salary and benefits, but says not having work authorization or resident status is holding her back. Her discouragement is heightened this summer by reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested young people brought to the US by their parents as children as they go about their day, going to school or work. "It's so frustrating. I came here at 4, so I've lived here my whole entire life," Hernandez said. "I'm from Mexico, but I don't know anything about the country." Millions of young immigrants raised and educated in the US are entering adulthood ready to contribute to the economy. Business Insider spoke to Gen Z " Dreamers" who came to the US as children and now say they are stuck, unable to fully realize their American dream. As immigration enforcement rises, these undocumented young adults face an uncertain future. "I want a career," Hernandez said. "I can't be a barista forever." 'Keep working, keep following the rules, and eventually our time will come' Juan Robles, 28, has work authorization through DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that is now caught up in a legal battle that paused new applications. Every two years, Robles has to reapply to maintain his status. "I consider myself American just as much as any other person, and I think I've done a lot," said Robles, who came to the US at age 7 in 2004. But the journey toward building his American dream hasn't been easy. He worked to put himself through college because he wasn't eligible for loans or state grants. The first time he tried to buy a home, DACA recipients weren't eligible for FHA financing. He isn't eligible to receive any Social Security benefits when he retires. "It was like a slap in the face," Robles said of the barriers. "Not only did we have to work hard for what we have, but we have to work a lot harder just because of who we are." In 2022, he cashed out his retirement savings and borrowed $20,000 from his parents to jump-start his business, Juanderful Tacos. He said business has been booming and last year, he owed the IRS $8,759 in taxes from sales. "People have the audacity to say that immigrants don't pay taxes," Robles said. He hoped his professional efforts and lack of criminal record would prove that he deserves to earn citizenship. With the recent escalation in ICE arrests, he feels a renewed sense of despair. More than a decade since DACA was established, Robles, who lives in Phoenix, is facing the risk of deportation. "If you are present in the United States illegally, you will be deported," Abigail Jackson, a spokesperson for the White House, previously told Business Insider. "This is the promise President Trump made to the American people that the administration is committed to keeping it." Robles and his wife, who is also undocumented, have been outspoken about their status online and are longtime immigrant activists. The bio on their restaurant's Instagram page reads, "very proudly DACA-owned and operated." "We got to just keep our heads down, keep working, keep following the rules, and eventually our time will come," Robles said. "We really can't hope for anything else." 'What now? I still can't get a job.' For many in the US, a college degree is an important stepping stone toward the middle class. According to the Social Security Administration, those with higher education degrees earn over $1 million more in median lifetime earnings than their peers without a degree. But a professional career is a much harder step for young people living in the US on DACA status or without permanent legal status. One undocumented LA-based Gen Zer said she dropped out of Art Center College of Design because she maxed out on the financial aid and loans the state of California offers to non-citizen residents and didn't qualify for federal aid because she isn't a refugee or permanent resident. She's been afraid to continue her work as a freelance photographer due to recent ICE raids in Los Angeles, and has turned down job opportunities, which leaves her worried about paying rent. Jennifer R. Nájera, a professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Riverside, said that in addition to the professional and financial strain, students without legal status are physically and emotionally affected by the threat of deportation and family separation. Statewide surveys at California's public universities found that 28% of undocumented students and 30% of students with undocumented parents had reported clinical depressive symptoms compared to 21% of their peers. "There's a lot of disillusion with the American dream among immigrant communities, especially working-class immigrant communities," said Nájera, who works with and studies undocumented student activists. Hernandez can relate. She graduated with a bachelor's in health science from Sacramento State University in 2023, but finding work in her field of study has been harder. She hoped to receive US citizenship when she married her high school boyfriend in 2024. When the marriage broke up last year, she was on the cusp of securing a green card. She is now on a different pathway to citizenship through the Violence Against Women Act. Hernandez feels frustrated that she's back to living with her parents and working an hourly wage service job. She wants more for her life, and is attending a community college to become a nurse because immigration status is not a barrier to getting a license in California. Getting hired at a hospital is a different story: She would need to have US citizenship or a green card. She knows it's a risk to take on additional debt for nursing school when she might not get hired until a multi-year legalization process is over. Hernandez said it's worth it to keep driving toward her goal of making it beyond minimum-wage jobs that don't provide benefits. "I got my EMT, I got my degree," said Hernandez, who doesn't qualify for a paramedic license in California because of her legal status. "What now? I still can't get a job."

Cop sexually assaulted teen sisters he met at youth program years ago, CA police say
A veteran police officer has been charged after two sisters accused him of sexually assaulting them more than a decade ago, California police say. Saul Duran was arrested July 7 on 'multiple felony charges related to the sexual assault of a minor,' the San Jose Police Department said in a July 8 news release. 'We were devastated to learn of these allegations and we hope that our swift investigation and arrest of Duran will demonstrate to survivors that we will treat your disclosure seriously, regardless of how much time has passed,' Chief of Police Paul Joseph said in the release. 'If the violator is a police officer, they will not be protected by other police officers.' Two adult sisters came to police June 18 and accused Duran of sex crimes between 2008 and 2012 when they were minors, police said. Through an investigation, police said they learned Duran met the sisters, ages 14 and 15, while he volunteered as 'a facilitator in a Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office program, known as The Parent Project.' The project is aimed to benefit 'parents with difficult or out-of-control adolescents,' teaching them 'prevention and intervention strategies for destructive behaviors,' according to the program's website. Duran worked as a volunteer with the program but 'served in an official capacity as a police officer,' police said. The girls' mother thought of him 'as a positive influence' and gained her trust, police said. She allowed her daughters to meet with him 'outside the scope of the program,' violating the program's policies, according to police. 'It was during these unauthorized and unsupervised interactions that the alleged crimes occurred,' according to police. Duran, who was hired by the department in 2003, 'was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of both a criminal and internal administrative investigation,' according to KTVU and police. Police said they worked with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, which 'determined there was sufficient basis for criminal prosecution.' During a news conference, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said that while Duran is accused of sexually assaulting both girls, the statute of limitations only allowed for charges to be filed in the younger sister's case, KQED reported. Rosen said Duran was 'charged with five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child who is 14 or 15 years old,' the radio station reported. 'Sometimes, parents abuse children. Sometimes it's teachers or coaches. Sometimes a police officer. It might seem like this happens so much, but statistically these are still aberrations,' Rosen said in the release. 'The SJPD and the DA's Office are here to deal with criminal aberrations, to try and prevent them, and make sure that predators – like this one – stop and pay for what they have done.' Duran was released from jail after posting $250,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment Aug. 7, KPIX reported. Police said there may be additional victims and anyone with information is asked to contact them at 408-277-4082.
