More than 700,000 young undocumented immigrants are threatening their American dream to the immigration policies of President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump announced over the weekend in his first interview after the presidential election deport two to three million dangerous undocumented immigrants with criminal records, in what might seem at first glance an easing of his campaign promise to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, where most are Mexicans and Central Americans.

Donald Trump has announced he plans to deport two to three million undocumented immigrants as soon as he takes office. It’s a bold plan and it has many people asking questions. How will this plan be implemented? How much money is this going to cost? Where will the funding come from?

Miriam Cadenas is 19-years-old and still remembers the trip from Mexico to Las Vegas, 11-years-ago. “I thought we were going to go in a truck. And then they just dropped us off in the desert and told us to start walking,” she told me.
The first planets identified beyond the solar system were shockingly unlike the nine worlds long-known within it. In sorting through the new exoplanets, scientists described them in terms that compared them to Earth's neighbors, dubbing them 'hot Jupiters' or 'super-Earths'. There are also 'hot Earths', terrestrial worlds orbiting their suns in periods less than two days.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump' s stunning political upset has sparked protests in several major cities nationwide, and the demonstrations may continue for some time.

In the late hours of Nov. 8, Nevada’s newest congressman was toiling with a bittersweet reality. Democratic State Sen. Ruben Kihuen had just defeated Cresent Hardy to win election to Nevada’s 4th Congressional District, becoming the first Latino to represent the Silver State in the U.S. House of Representatives. He won with 128,680 votes (48.39 percent) to Hardy's 118,220 (44.55 percent) and was delivering a victory speech to his supporters at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas.
Exit polling conducted around the United States shows President-elect Donald Trump receiving 29 percent of the Latino vote. The polling was conducted by Edison Research. That number is about the same as John McCain and Mitt Romney received when they ran for president. That number comes as a surprise to Latino Decisions, a group that polls Hispanic voters across the country. In fact, the group doesn’t believe the number is accurate.
