Fresh off its success last July, the National Immigrant Youth Alliance is planning to hold another immigration protest at the U.S.-Mexico border. Back in mid-summer, the group organized what become known as the DREAM 9, a group of nine activists who protested Obama Administration deportation policies by turning themselves in at the U.S.-Mexico border. Six of the activists lived in the U.S. but returned to Mexico before the Obama Administration implemented its deferred action plan for immigrant youth. Three more then left the U.S., essentially self-deporting themselves to join the six. In late July, all nine marched up to the border wearing graduation caps and gowns. Their message was clear: They wanted the Obama Administration to allow them and others back into the country to study and build a life in the U.S.
