Living as an undocumented immigrant in President Trump’s America or having friends and loved ones who match this description means you are set up for numerous bouts of anxiety that could be triggered by something as compact as a tweet. Trump
Here’s one that recently opened up fresh wounds: “As President of the United States, I am asking for a legal solution on DACA, not a political one, consistent with the rule of law. The Supreme Court is not willing to give us one, so now we have to start this process all over again.”
For no reason other than sheer luck, I don’t wear the undocumented immigrant badge. But I’ve been confronted with the abysmal unfairness of the American immigration system multiple times. Sometimes it hits me directly, sometimes it’s a ripple effect of an action targeted at other immigrants like myself – mostly people of colour, but it crushes all the same.
The Supreme Court ruling was a victorious one, but I’ve learned from experience not to rejoice too quickly. It was the same Supreme Court that upheld President Trump’s ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries in June 2018. Citizens from eight countries, including two African – Somalia and Chad – are still prohibited from entry into the United States.
