Vanessa Cardenas, a prominent immigration reform advocate, critiques the Trump administration's policies for their role in fostering racism and political division. Cardenas emphasizes the ongoing confusion surrounding the definition of undocumented migrants, particularly as the administration revokes humanitarian protections and established programs. With her extensive background in pro-immigrant organizations, she calls attention to the urgent need for a fair immigration reform that secures citizenship pathways for millions of undocumented individuals, while addressing the delicate status of those previously granted protections under the Biden administration.
"The definition used is that of a person who does not have current authorization to be in the United States. Technically, they are not undocumented."
"We are seeing something unprecedented: an administration that is revoking established programs for immigrants at a very accelerated pace, stripping them of their legal status and telling them they must self-deport."
