PCC student Anasse Dahan has traveled a rough road.
In 2002, his student visa expired. Anasse, who is from Morocco, was faced with a tough decision. Should he return to his country, where, as he explains, “even doctors are out of work,” or stay in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant?
Anasse chose to stay and pursue his dreams of becoming a healthcare professional. His struggles, for the nine years he was undocumented, are the topic of a presentation he gave, in 2012, to PCC’s Borders of Diversity student conference.
Anasse, who now has his green card and is eligible for citizenship later this year, talked about those nine years and his vision for the future.
