Schumer betrayed us

Dear Editor:

(An open letter to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer)

We met last October. We talked about our hometown. You called Brooklyn your home, I called Queens mine. You told me that you like to ride your bike in Brooklyn, and gave me a friendly smile.

You told me that you will do everything in your power to find a legislative solution for me and 800,000 Dreamers like me. You looked me in the eye and said “You are America.” You decorated your Twitter page with an “I stand with Dreamers” logo.

But then you caved in. You choose to deport 122 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients every single day.

You showed me and the rest of the country how weak you are.

I won’t forgive you, I don’t believe you, I don’t trust you.
