Anxiety grips illegal youths, 'headaches, toothaches, ulcers, trouble sleeping'

As President Trump nears a decision on keeping or killing former President Obama's deportation deferral for some 800,000 illegal "youths," studies are emerging showing that the population is far less educated than the media is reporting and stressed out over their undocumented status.

A leading expert, Harvard University's Roberto G. Gonzales, reveals that once the so-called "dreamers" grow into their 20s, anxiety becomes an issue.

In a report for the American Psychological Association and in a recently released book titled Lives in Limbo, he wrote, "in their 20s, many undocumented young adults began to express physical and emotional manifestations of stress — chronic headaches, toothaches, ulcers, trouble sleeping, eating problems and suicidal ideation."

The APA report added, "When we asked respondents who they go to for emotional support, many alluded to ‘putting on a mask' to conceal their stress from those around them."

The media has portrayed those granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status as college students, but the studies prove otherwise.

Its not enough that we provide them free education, housing, medical care, and offer them participation in our electoral system, now we're supposed to worry if they're getting a good nights sleep.

You know I've got the same damn problems, but for some reason no liberal gives a crap about me! I have said before with the democrat designed and republican condoned situation in America today if you really want to get ahead get a fake ID with a hispanic name and history otherwise if you are White all they want to give you is the brown end of the stick.
