DENVER — Certain groups are angry and upset about the White House’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.<\/p>\n

Without a solution from Congress, it will affect families, professionals and students in six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt saddens me mostly, it really saddens me,\u201d DACA recipient Mateo Lazano said.<\/p>\n

Mateo Lazano is a DACA recipient and college student at Metropolitan State University of Denver.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m paying for school right out of my pocket,\u201d Lazano said.<\/p>\n

Lazano works so he can afford school, and if DACA is done, his job is over.<\/p>\n

While the government’s decision doesn’t take away his ability to go to college, one professor says it might as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife just incredibly harder,\u201d said Carlos Hipolito-Delgado, an associate professor at CU Denver. \u201cYou cannot receive federal financial aid, you cannot receive state based financial aid. It has now made life harder to secure employment, that would help cover the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

What DACA won’t touch is Colorado’s asset program. This allows students such as Lozano to pay in-state tuition.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I\u00a0want to do with that degree is just put it right back into my community right back into the economy,\u201d Lozano said.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, Lozano’s biggest fear has nothing to do with college, especially after what happened to his brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was deported in front of his kids, in front of his wife,” Lozano said.\u00a0\u201cI\u00a0think that would be my biggest nightmare for that to happen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
