The journey of immigrants are often filled with blood, sweat, and tears. Just for their arrival to be met with hostility. They fight their way across borders in hopes for a brighter future. Attempting to reach the american dream that has turned into pure delusion. Families and children are torn apart by invisible borders that still control us. I am reminded of my dad, who did what he had to for his family to succeed on both sides of the Mexican border. How much he provided for his children that were born in the US while his parents still lived in Mexico. How it tore him to not be able to be with his parents in their final moments. A reminder that no matter how far we travel our Raiz’ are apart of us.
