Decriminilize Immigrants

Abstract
Issues surrounding the border crisis and undocumented immigrants have brutally resurfaced following the 2024 presidential election, and this PSA reflects some of the issues and trauma surrounding these situations. As a first-generation immigrant with dual citizenship, creating projects surrounding the issues that plague my community is important to me as uplifting our voices and not letting our hardships outweigh our accomplishments means the most to me. I added both hardship and joy because our lives are complex, it takes some families years to be reunited with their parents, kids, aunts, uncles, while others never reunite. Spreading awareness is never a futile action and we cannot let our issues be suppressed.
