To me, it's just that social media is allowing people to be in charge of their own narratives.

Citizenship to me is more than a piece of paper. Citizenship is also about character. I am an American. We're just waiting for our country to recognize it.

When people call me illegal, calling me illegal says more about you than it does about me.

The DREAMers are the safe ones, right? It's okay to advocate for the DREAMers because they're the English-speaking, college-educated ones, right? It's so interesting that I set out to document DREAMers, but what I ended up doing was actually documenting the experience of, the reality and truth of, the moms and the parents.

To be in America illegally is actually a civil offense and not a criminal one.

I have no control over what people call me. The only thing I have control over is my work, and that's really all I can be judged on.

I like Q&A's better than articles sometimes because I feel like I'd rather hear somebody actually talk or wrestle with.
