Honest Immigration with Attorney Erika Cisneros Ep. 54

Welcome to episode 54 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!
Today’s guest is immigration attorney Erika Cisneros. Erika grew up with an immigrant Mom, but her dad was a fourth-generation Mexican-American. She knew at a young age that she wanted to be an immigration attorney, but she shared a pivotal moment when that passion for helping the immigration community grew and was her driving force.
When her father woke her up in the middle of the night because a coworker of his got pulled over but was undocumented, the police officer knew her father and called him to see if he could go pick up his coworker's van because if not, he would be placed in jail and eventually deported.
Erika says that although her job is tough and hard work, when she receives approval for her client, she knows that it’s not just her client that she’s helping; it’s also the client’s family and those around them because the majority of them they are the breadwinner in their home.
Listen to episode 54 to learn about the type of cases that Erika works with and her experience visiting Mexico for the first time in college.
With Love, Heidy
