There isn't anybody I won't talk to about immigration - at least once.

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

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

A broken immigration system means broken families means broken lives. That's what is at stake.

No amount of success - whatever that means, quote-unquote success - no amount of success replaces the reality of being separated from my family for this long.

You have to stand for something bigger than yourself.

When you watch the way some of the commentators talk about this, it makes it seem as if people are crossing the border every second. How much money have we spent on the border? Why? And who's really exploiting whom?" And then he gets quiet. But I think just airing these out and having a face-to-face conversation about it helps both of us internalize what the conversation is really about. I don't think we have that in the public sphere.
