Out of the Shadows is a podcast about America's tangled history of immigration hosted by award-winning New York Times writer Erick Galindo and entrepreneur and best-selling author Patty Rodriguez.
Season 2: Dreamers
Last season, we tackled Ronald Regan’s 1986 amnesty act, Season 2 will trace the origins of DACA or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a contentious executive order to protect undocumented young people from being deported. Issued by former President Barack Obama in 2012, DACA was meant to be a temporary stop gap on a broken immigration system. Welcome to Season 2 of Out of the Shadows - Dreamers.
Season 1: Children of 86
Immigrants and their children have long lived in the shadows of America, their destinies aren't just shaped by where they come from but by their particular place in history.
In 1986, the lives of millions of immigrants and their children were changed by one lucky stroke of a pen by an unlikely ally, President Ronald Reagan. This podcast will examine the ripple effects the bill had on first-generation kids of immigrants who are navigating intergenerational mobility and transforming the cultural landscape.
This is an untold story of luck, timing, triumph, opportunity, survival, and of course, hope.

UnDACAmented
With a quick stroke of a pen President Barack Obama created DACA - but the application process wasn't easy. And it didn’t include everyone. That created a lot of issues for the Dreamers. Like what happens to families who had members that met the criteria but others who didn’t? And were some Dreamers' parents targeted by ICE for their activism?

American Parents
DACA only extended protection to a little under a million people, leaving out millions for reasons of age, felony status or just plain bad luck. After the Obama administration kept hearing concerns about all those people that were left out of the program, President Barack Obama is being pressured to do something especially for the parents of the Dreamers.

Customer Reviews
Excellent!!
Excellent storytelling and history telling. I was moved and I learned a lot and remembered a lot. It is so true that this history is in the shadows and it is so good to have this podcast bring it out in the open.
Would benefit from more context
I’m enjoying this podcast and learning a few things that I appreciate. It would be helpful if the hosts provided accurate context to what they’re sharing. For instance, in talking about her grandfather working in the fields of CA under the government program for $60/week & she’s horrified. But $60/week back then (1960) equates to $616/week in 2023. And they were provided housing, yes barracks style but they didn’t have much for expenses and there were no taxes taken out of their wages.
