Ghosts that Haunt Children of Latino Immigrants

It added that Mexican migrants make significant contributions to the U.S. economy and society, and said net migration from the country to the United States has reached zero in recent years.

So Donald Trump, if he is elected president, will force all undocumented immigrants out of the United States, make Mexicans pay for a wall between us and them and change the Constitution to eliminate citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants on American soil.

The pillars of his proposal – mass deportation of 11.3 million undocumented immigrants and construction of a border wall that can be seen from the moon, “would cause such a suck on the economy that the effects would still be felt for years after Trump’s inevitable one-term presidency ended”. In reference to Trump’s comments on illegal immigrants, Aca said that “this is not who we are, this is not who I am, this is not anybody I know who is an immigrant”. After speaking at the Luxor, he held a news conference in front of Trump’s gold-plated hotel tower, flanked by workers trying to unionize there.

Trump also is calling for eliminating federal aid to ‘sanctuary cities, ‘ such as San Francisco, where local officials have decided not to use their police to enforce some federal immigration laws. Aca came to the US with his family when he was 14 and they’ve been living in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood for almost 10 years.

At 24, Aca is still undocumented – he doesn’t have a Green Card or passport – but he is allowed to work in America because he is part of the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

Over at the New York Times, Héctor Tobar writes that different monsters and ghosts haunt the dreams of Latino children these days.

But I have heard all too often recently about a “new monster” who may be much scarier than all these ghouls combined.

“But I personally work three jobs, my step-father works three jobs”. The video Aca made with the New Left Media project is starting to go viral with over 32,000 shares on Facebook.

Trump’s anti-immigrant stance, though unfavorable among Latinos, has received wide support from white conservatives in rural communities across the U.S., driving rivals to match his nativist speech and position. We wonder who got to say, “You’re fired!”

“It’s important to stand up for what I believe in and to be able to defend myself”, Aca tells The Times.

“He said that Mexican people are bad people, that they want to sell drugs”, the girl said, as quoted by The New York Times. “I can’t vote but I can take photos and share the stories of people like me”, Aca says.
