Diego Abelar Morales came to Texas from Puebla, in central Mexico, when he was just 2 years old. His parents sought a better future for him, and later his sister, and moved into a home in North Austin. Morales, now 24, is a graduate of Texas State University and works as a cloud engineer at Oracle, the Austin-based software giant. But his success would not be possible without his parent’s decision to come to the United States, and the implementation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. “My parents made the choice to search for a better life elsewhere,” he said. “Their hard work has put my sister and I through college. We are first-generation college students.”
