Watching the game and as someone not from the #USA, was shocked but not surprised to see a CBP One Ad on #Univision about self-deporting and reinforcing the false claim that migration is associated with criminality …. #MariachiVsKpop
Just saw a photo that said, “We are the last generation whose parents were born [back home]”. This hit differently. Realizing that no one else will have stories from back home. But this was the point though? #Immigrants

Fieldwork Reflections #3: You can be one of them but not really one of them because they are not children of immigrants.
Fieldwork reflections #2: When asked, why this topic? Why this perspective? Well, I am a child and grandchild of immigrants.
