They tried leaving illegally twice, but they got caught and were deported both times. Eventually, in 1979/1980, they managed to come here legally and moved to New York, along with all my tias and tios, and my bisabuela, too

So proud of him, he’s such a hard worker and has always provided for us.❤️😢

My grandparents came from Mexico in the 40s and they were fortunate enough to be able to come here legally. My grandparents open a shutter business and did many sets on Hollywood lots. They made the decision to only hire undocumented workers and my grandmother would spend her days getting their paperwork done so they could become citizens. I feel like there’s a special place in heaven for her.

He gave up his life and his career to flee the violence of the country. An immigrants story is full of sorrow, appreciate and love your immigrant parents always.❤️

Mis padres se están asiendo viejos y también mis hermanos y hermanas .Deje todo lo que conocía para venir para acá y solo era para unos años y ahora tengo 22 años aquí . Y si fuera yo , desde cuando me iría peté te tengo a ti y a tu hermana y quiero que tengan la mejor educación. I swear I am so proud of everyone who crossed the border to survive and make a life here even if they don’t want us , it shows how strong they are and how strong we should be too ❤️

My grandma's parents fled Czechoslovakia during the start of WWII as they were Jewish (so obviously wanted to get out of there!). They took a boat to Ecuador and my grandma was born there and they stayed for a few years. They then acquired visas somehow and got into America. That's about all I know, but I think it is pretty badass!

Actually, you know what?! Many countries in Latin America took refugies during WWII. My family is from Cuba and we know for sure that in those time they had lots of refugies, especially Jewish. So many that the Cuban government together with the american issued a special permit which allowed them to live for a year in Cuba and then were transferred to America. Many stayed and settled as business owners becoming also Judaism and important religion after Catholicism

My mom and her family are from El Salvador as well, it took her about three months to come to US when she was only eight hears old. She doesn’t remember much but she’s grown up for most of her life in California & when she was younger she became a citizen. People don’t understand how much courage it takes to just leave the place you call home. Both of my parents are immigrants and they haven’t visited their countries since they left more than 20 years ago. I’m so thankful for my mom and everything she did, Abuelita Gladys’s story is similar to my families and so many more. Immigrants are what make this country, I truly hope this hatred will end before I die. No one deserves this🇸🇻 #savetps

My dad came over during the war fleeing the Salvadorian government. He was a 20 year old college kid who had to make the decision to either die or leave his country. He got papers pretty fast and then brought my mom over. During the war my dad had to keep fleeing because the government wanted to kill him due to his involvement with fmln. My mother had her father killed by the government soldiers because they thought he was a communist. They weren't poor illiterate people, they simply came over to feel safe.

My parents fled mainland China shortly after the Cultural Revolution. It was a traumatic time and they don't talk about it too much. They crossed into Hong Kong by hiking through mountains to evade the authorities until they reached the shore, then swam through tides until they reached the other side. I heard the story when I was a child and I always romanticized it as some kind of adventure. Don't get me wrong, it was badass, but I've only now begun to appreciate what a dangerous and desperation-driven trip it was. They wouldn't have been able to get a visa to the US from the mainland. And it may have been one of the most physically-demanding points of their migration experience, but reaching the US and being an immigrant here isn't sunshine and miracles, it comes with its own process. "Borders are set up to define the places that are safe and unsafe, to distinguish us from them. A border is a dividing line, a narrow strip along a steep edge. *A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary.* It is in a constant state of transition. The prohibited and forbidden are its inhabitants." - Gloria Anzaldúa ❤️ P.S. If anyone is interested in more immigration stories, Credible Fear by PBS is a great documentary that tells the stories of people who try to enter the States though the asylum process because they fear persecution in their country of origin. Even pre-9/11, it's a long and bureaucratic process wherein they have to prove they are in clear danger, and the agent looking at their case on that particular day can still deny them. It's their job to look for very specific language to make that determination, but there are unaccompanied toddlers who have trouble expressing themselves well even in their home languages to try to present any kind of case for credible fear, and it's impossible for interpreters to translate their interviews 100%. Everyone, including the immigration officials, agreed the system is inevitably subjective and flawed for something that has huge consequences for people's livelihoods and society at large.

My mom (shes Mexican) came to the US (illegally obvs) when she was 16 with a baby that was only a few months old! She took my brother with her ppl! She cross the freaking border with a baby! My dad (he's from Guatemala) did the same thing. They met in the US and after struggling for a while they became citizens in 2012. So proud of them

Seriously testing up while watching this! Such a beautiful video. It reminds me of my grandparents' immigration story from Cuba. They fought in Cuba's revolution and ended up on the run. My abuela gave birth to my uncle and then they had to leave the country about 10 hours later. If they're done then they say they took a raft to Mexico and then went to America legally, but if they're drink then they say they took a raft to Florida and claimed political refugee status in order to stay. My abuela left behind 2 kids with her ex husband and my grandparents picked fruit until they got on their feet and more family came to the United States. My abuela always said that every struggle and moment of fear while coming to America was worth it because she wanted her family to have a better life and more opportunities. She missed Cuba dearly.

My mom is Puerto Rican- Dominican, but she came to Utah from Puerto Rico, so she had no problem, my dad came here with a student visa to learn English, then he returned to mexico and came back with a work visa, he married my mom , and my dad for a little bit was technically illegal, but he used some fake papers for a while, but then he became a resident and then a citizen

Oh my goodness Curly, your grandmother's journey reminds me of what my family went through with the Civil War in El Salvador. My matriarch, my Mama Julia, she's a survivor just like your grandmother. I am proud of being Salvadoran American, I am very proud of my grandmother. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's story with us. P.S. I remember Los Chorros too, beautiful place. ^_^

Every time i hear someones immigration story it makes me think and then i get emotional cause my aunt told me when she was crossing the desert going to the U.S with her husband hand they almost got caught twice and could have been shot and killed and at that time she was 1-2 weeks pregnant with my cousin and she didn't know she was pregnant until they got here and they were suprised she didn't die cause they didn't have enough food to go around and had to rasin 2 gallons of water in hope that they would make it quickly.

Fatima Usman TPS means Temporary Protected Status. El Salcador had a terrible earthquake hit them in 2001, so El Salvadorans could come here to stay only for like 6 months to 2 years legally. But, Bush and Obama kept extending it with different reasons like for example gang violence. Now Trump is giving El Salavadorans until September 2019 to get their stuff sorted to go back to El Salavador. He said that it was supposed to be temporary and 17 years is not temporary. He is going to do that with the Haitians and other groups with TPS who have been here very long. But many of these people have had children born here in the years they have stayed. I wish they could give the adults who have been here many years an opportunity to get Residency. But with Trump in office, I don't think it will happen :(
