This is exactly what breaks my heart and what I saw coming as soon as Biden won. I’m not posting the name of this person because I’m not here to shame anyone. But I thought it was important to share why it’s so important for everyone to understand the immigration struggle 
.


The term “family separation” in the context of immigration became much more known to mainstream America under Trump because of the Zero Tolerance policy that was implemented under Trump at the border. However...
... the immigrant rights movement has been fighting against family separation for years. What this also means for us is the millions of families who were broken apart by the record number of deportations that happened under the Obama administration. My family was one of them.
I find it troubling that this history of policies under Obama are now completely erased from people’s minds (and in some cases people don’t even know because they didn’t follow this issue back then). We can’t forget, because if we do we’ll make the same mistakes under Biden.
Listen, I consider myself to be a lefty Democrat. I do. But I’m also still undocumented with an undocumented family. I will continue to speak my truth, no matter who gets uncomfortable. I have to. That’s the only way to protect me and my family.
