My children were born here and go to school every day with backpacks on. I work low-wage jobs, saving every penny to buy them extra books and supplies. In the mornings, I watch them run into school with friends, feeling both proud and anxious. My uncertain immigration status makes it unclear if we can stay here long-term, and I often lie awake at night wondering: if the policy changes, will my child’s opportunities be affected? Neighbors often say, “Immigration policy affects not just us, but the kids too.” Every time I hear that, it hits me deeply. #ImmigrationPolicyNow
