 In a show of solidarity with the Deferred Action Legal Childhood Arrivals (DALCA) kids who are facing extradition, President Joe Biden invited three Indian Americans to his Diwali reception.

Thanking the President for the gesture, the three young Indian Americans who have aged out of their parent바카라s visa or legal status and face extradition said they were 바카라delighted to join바카라 the President and the Vice President at the White House.

바카라We were honored to be with the President and Vice President among many Indian American leaders for this Diwali celebration. We hope that light will come for all of us by the end of the year through a solution to end aging-out for all children of long-term visa holders,바카라 one Dip Patel said.

Founder of 바카라Improve The Dream바카라, which has been fighting on behalf of the aged-out kids numbering over 200,000, a majority of whom are Indian Americans, Patel said about 2,00,000 young immigrants are in the US as dependents of their parents on temporary work visas. This is because of the outdated laws of the country.

He and two of his colleagues at 바카라Improve the Dream바카라 were invited by Biden and the First Lady to attend the Diwali reception at the White House on Monday.

바카라Diwali has always been a cherished festival for me and my family. I am so honored to be able to advocate on behalf of 바카라Improve The Dream바카라 and help bring light to our cause. It was a surreal feeling meeting South Asian trailblazers at the White House to celebrate the festival of lights that is so close to our hearts,바카라 said Pareen Mhatre.

바카라We feel honored to have been recognized and invited by President Biden and his administration to this year바카라s magnificent Diwali celebration. Our presence here shows that the President and the administration have heard our stories and they care,바카라 said Athulya Rajakumar.
