In 2013, when Andres was 12, his Dominican Republic citizenship -- his only possession of any real value -- was snatched from him by a court ruling targeting people with foreign-born parents. Ten years later, he is still undocumented in the country where he was born, working a backbreaking, low-paying job in the sugarcane fields. Andres is one of the 250,000 Dominicans born to foreign parents -- mainly Haitians -- who had their birthright citizenship stripped, creating "a situation of statelessness of a magnitude never before seen in the Americas," according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
