FILE - In this Aug. 15, 2012, file photo, young immigrant Erika Andiola, of Mesa, Ariz., poses for a photo at a site where people line up for guidance on the new federal program, called Deferred Action, that would help them avoid deportation in Phoenix. Andiola's mother and a brother were arrested on Jan. 10, 2013, at the family's Phoenix-area home. After coming out of the shadows and organizing on their own to advocate for immigration relief, many young immigrants known as dreamers are taking sides with political parties and working or volunteering for presidential campaigns.
