37 - Santiago Ramones Recounts His Journey to U.S. Citizenship

In this episode, Emily and James visit with Santiago Ramones, one of the producers for Not My Generation, about his process to becoming a U.S. citizen. Along the way, we learn the difference between Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, permanent lawful resident ("Green Card" holders) status, and citizenship. In addition we learn that there is no clear delineation of rights to those in any of these statuses, and we discover the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Denaturalization.To learn more about Santiago Ramones, click here: https://santiagoramones.com/aboutTo learn more about the complexities of becoming a naturalized citizen, check out this game created by the Cato Institute: https://www.cato.org/blog/try-catos-new-immigration-game-find-path-us-citizenshipTo learn more about the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Denaturalization, click here: https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/department-justice-creates-section-dedicated-denaturalization-casesTo read the Commonweal Magazine article featuring Rose State College and Dr. Emily Stacey, click here: https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/higher-education-malesic-democracy-community-college-civicsTo learn more about Dr. Emily Stacey, go here: https://www.rose.edu/staff/social-sciences-department/stacey-emily/To learn more about Professor James Davenport, go here: https://www.rose.edu/staff/social-sciences-department/davenport-james/You can listen to previous episodes of Not My Generation here: https://notmygeneration.captivate.fm/episodesNot My Generation is recorded and produced by Possibilities, Inc.
