Andrea faced deportation due to a scheduling error regarding her immigration status court appearance. Despite living in Texas for three years, she feels compelled to hide with her daughter, fearing arrest. Struggling financially and without legal representation, she reflects on the hopelessness of her situation and the challenges of returning to Venezuela, where she perceives even less opportunity. Andrea's story exemplifies the deep struggles and complex decisions facing undocumented migrants in the U.S.
"I'm here, but I'm not doing anything. I don't have papers, I don't have a lawyer, I don't have an address, I don't have a school for my daughter. I have nothing."
"Sometimes I spend the whole day looking at my phone. Crying, thinking. I also saw they're giving a thousand dollars to those who leave voluntarily, and I've wanted to leave. But what am I going to do in Venezuela?"
