"I have been very vocal about the fact that I'm scared of what I'm seeing in this country. I've been living here for decades. This is not the place that I grew up in. We need to all stand up.In college, I took literature of the Holocaust, and the biggest lesson that I learned was that silence is our biggest enemy."
"We all have to stand together and say that we, okay, we agree that the border has to be secured, but this is not what's happening.People, families are being torn apart, children, hundreds of children are in detention and in horrible conditions.I have personal experience with people in my circle that their loved ones have been taken away and have been months in detention for no reason because they haven't been deported,"
Gloria Estefan says she is scared of the country's current state after living there for decades and asserts it is not the place she grew up in. She calls for collective action and cites a college course on Holocaust literature that taught her silence is the greatest enemy. She urges unity, acknowledges the need to secure the border, and condemns current practices that she says tear families apart. She reports hundreds of children detained in horrible conditions and personal contacts whose loved ones remain months in detention without deportation. She urges voting and using political and economic power, and criticized presidential immigration policies at the Grammy red carpet.
