The Mexican-American star discussed America's immigration crisis, telling the story of her own family's journey as undocumented immigrants.
Selena Gomez says she feels a responsibility as a Mexican American woman to use her platform for those who are too afraid to speak ― and she’s done so in a powerful op-ed about America’s immigration crisis.
“In the 1970s, my aunt crossed the border from Mexico to the United States hidden in the back of a truck. My grandparents followed, and my father was born in Texas soon after,” she began, going on to say that she was lucky enough to be born as a U.S. citizen as a result of their “bravery and sacrifice.”
Gomez is the executive producer of a new documentary series, “Living Undocumented,” which chronicles the lives of eight immigrant families living in the U.S. and facing deportation. “It’s time to listen to the people whose lives are being directly affected by immigration policies,” she wrote.
