Immigrants considering the U.S. should recognize that dreams are not confined to one nation. Exploring options beyond U.S. borders may be beneficial without a legal pathway. Senator Padilla introduced the "VISIBLE" Act requiring immigration officers to display identifiable uniforms to foster public trust. The act addresses community fears, as masked agents can incite distrust and create an environment of fear. Los Angeles is legally challenging recent immigration raids as unconstitutional, advocating against the normalization of aggressive federal actions in their communities.
"There is no such thing as only one dream in America. Our dreams exist beyond borders, right? I am reconnecting with my roots in Mexico, rediscovering my country, something I was never able to do before."
"Unless you have that legal pathway upon leaving to the United States, consider other options. We have the power to create our own immigration narrative without feeling so confined to only one place."
"Current operations where agents are covering their faces and wearing tactical gear are creating fear and distrust among the public and could allow impersonators to kidnap people off the street."
"These unconstitutional roundups and raids cannot be allowed to continue. This cannot become routine to send militarized agents into our communities."
