The Rights to Live with One's Parents vs U.S. Immigration Policy of Family Separation

Pettengill Hall, G65

<p>U.S. immigration policies enforce family separation. There are 4.5 million U.S. citizens children who have at least one undocumented parent and are part of mixed-status families. Even though they are entitled to the same rights and freedoms as all Americans, many of these children are growing up with the constant fear of separation from their parents. The workshop features a showing of Abrazos (Embraces), a film by Guatemalan director Luis Argueta, about the experience of 14 US citizen children, sons and daughters of unauthorized immigrants in this country, who travel from Minnesota to Guatemala to meet their grandparents, and in some cases, their siblings, for the first time. Luis Argueta will answer questions at the end.
