Inspirational Stories

Cris Mercado

"There is no growth without discomfort. Not having a safety net might actually be one of the most powerful tools undocumented immigrants have available to them."

Alejandro Flores

"We are hustlers by nature because we need to survive."

Convincing My Mom to Get Her Papers

"It was so difficult to convince my mom to go through without me. She felt like she was failing me. I told her, ‘No, mom. It’s the system that continues to fail us."

A Second Opinion

"I wanted to get a second opinion because I hoped the first attorney had overlooked something. Or maybe things had changed. I'm so happy that I did get a second opinion because I learned that I had a potential remedy through political asylum."

Change Takes Time

"Things can change. You may find yourself eligible for something in the future. I was undocumented for almost 28 years. So it's a long process. But in the end, it's a positive process."

Karen Hernandez

"I moved to Canada because I eventually want to have kids and I couldn’t see that happening in the States."
