For generations, America has promised freedom, opportunity, and success to those who seek a better life. But for millions of immigrants, that dream is slipping further out of reach—or being snatched away entirely. From ICE deporting U.S. citizens and ignoring court orders, to South Carolina echoing dangerous laws from Texas and Florida, immigrant communities are under attack.
In this episode, Angel dives into:
- The myth vs. reality of the American Dream
- Broken immigration policies and deliberate delays
- Workplace exploitation, xenophobic laws, and ICE’s abuse of power
- What’s happening in South Carolina—and why we need to care
- How we fight back, reclaim the dream, and protect immigrant rights
🧭 Where to start?
📍 Find your South Carolina legislators
📍 Find your U.S. Representatives and Senators
Call. Write. Email. Show up. Make noise. Tell them you refuse to accept a two-tier immigration system that treats human lives like bargaining chips.
🛡️ Support organizations on the frontlines, including:
These groups are doing the legal, grassroots, and policy work that keeps immigrant communities safer—but they can’t do it alone.
Immigrant rights ARE human rights. If we care about freedom and justice, we must act.
