Both Andiola and Silva are Dreamers, or immigrants who arrived or stayed in the country legally, usually because their parents did.

Twitter reacted, coming to Silva’s defense with supporting tweets. Silva, however, didn’t seem phased, saying “I crossed a river at 4 years old to get to this country. A little water hardly means anything.”
