Transcript
00:00Being undocumented isn't something we can put in the back of our heads.
00:16When I wake up, it's the first thing I think about.
00:22Sometimes in my dreams, I'm undocumented too.
00:25My mom raised me in an environment where speaking out about your status is wrong.
00:34She taught me the same fear.
00:39No le digas a nadie, she would say.
00:42Don't tell anyone.
00:51But I started seeing things differently.
00:55Undocumented is just the label, but it doesn't define me.
01:02I dream of a world where I'm free to travel, to drive.
01:05A world where I'm an equal.
01:09I understood that you could do something to change your reality or the way that you were undocumented.
01:20Already as an undocumented student, you already feel like you're not in control.
01:23We can't vote, we can't vote, and then we already fear that we're going to be deported.
01:27We have no control over the legislation and all these things.
01:30So then it also feels like, oh, okay, I don't have control over my future and my education either.
01:35But that's not true.
01:37It took me stepping out and saying, this is happening and I don't know what to do.
01:41Is there any help out there?
01:42It's like I lost the communication with her.
02:06It's like a silent wall between us.
02:12This is more than a legalization struggle,
02:15but a psychological war that measures character and patience.
02:20They want to see who will break down first.
02:26Being able to talk to each other about our immigration stories
02:29opened the doors to talk about other things.
02:32Because we weren't always talking about immigrants who are also gay,
02:38or homeless, or abused.
02:42It makes me mad that being abused makes you illegible.
02:45Being raped makes you illegible.
02:47But not just living here and having a family and giving back.
02:51That doesn't matter, you know?
02:53We live under fear and we're trying our best to be invisible.
03:08It's hard for many of us to come forward.
03:23For now, living.
