Brayan Vazquez, a student at Miami Dade College travels over 100 miles every Tuesday and Thursday just to get to school and back. It shouldn't be like this. Brayan is undocumented and was granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). He's been in Florida for the past 7 years and his only affordable option for college is Miami Dade because they allow Brayan to pay in-state tuition.
From a March 4 article in The Reporter at Miami Dade College:
On a chilly morning in Boynton Beach, glimmers of dawn cut through the pitch-black sky, as Brayan Vazquez steps out of his home and begins a 55-mile journey to school.
Brayan (pronounced BRY-uhn) is undocumented.
He doesn’t have a car or a driver’s license, so today, like every Tuesday and Thursday, his dad Jesus Vazquez heads to his construction job in Boca Raton and drops Brayan, a 19-year-old computer science major at Miami Dade College, off at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail station to start his nearly two-hour trek to North Campus.
