It took over 30 years for Andrea Cruz to gain her American citizenship, and her lawyer said she had it easy…
You may have opinions about undocumented immigrants and that’s exactly why I’m chatting with Andrea Cruz today.
Andrea was an undocumented immigrant from Peru for much of her adult life. She shares how her parents brought her to America legally at the age of 9 and the hoops she had to jump through to gain her citizenship.
There are so many misconceptions about immigrants and the process they must go through to chase The American Dream.
Andrea shares what her local community is going through with the current political rhetoric and how they are supporting one another. Immigrants, just like any group of people, are not a monolith. We all have more in common than we may believe.
With any chat, it's important for us to listen with an open mind and heart. Thank you to Andrea for opening up about her lived experience and thank YOU for being here to learn and listen.
