Resumen
Los dreamers (por las siglas en inglés de la Ley para el Desarrollo, Ayuda y Educación para Me-nores Extranjeros —Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, DREAM; “soñado-res”, por la traducción del término al español—) son jóvenes migrantes que fueron llevados a Estados Unidos por sus padres durante la infancia de manera indocumentada. Como parte del programa Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA), algunos dreamers pudieron acceder a la educación superior, obtener permisos de trabajo, un número de seguridad social y licencias de conducir. Han crecido y se han forma-do con valores estadounidenses, y a pesar de sus profundo enraizamiento allá, no se les permi-te pertenecer plenamente a este país, son simultáneamente incluidos y excluidos. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar los principales desafíos y barreras de integración que enfrentan los “soñadores” en Estados Unidos, con base en entrevistas de profundidad origina-les. Las experiencias de los dreamers se analizan mediante el enfoque teórico-metodológico de las teorías Crítica de la Raza (Critical Race Theory, CRT), Teoría Crítica Latina (LatCrit) y Teoría Crítica Indocumentada (UndocuCrit), estudiando cómo la intersección de raza/etnia, clase, idioma y estatus migratorio afectan las vidas y proyectos de los jóvenes soñadores.
