The resistance to Trump is rising, and millions of people are stating quite clearly that they oppose him and his policies.
People keep asking me how I’m doing, as though I’ve suffered a death in the family or been struck by a terminal illness. I understand why, and I’m grateful for the concern: President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant proposals are materialising one after another, and he’s been in the White House for less than a month.
Lately, families of Latino immigrants in the United States are feeling a lot of fear. It’s understandable. On a recent Univision newscast, we featured a story about undocumented parents who are making emergency plans in case they’re deported. The worst-case scenario is already playing out: In Phoenix this month, a married mother of two children, Guadalupe García de Rayos, was deported after living in this country for more than 20 years without papers. Others will follow.
The cause of the dread within the Hispanic community is the recent flurry of executive orders signed by Trump, namely the absurd directive to build a wall along the southern border with Mexico, along with the temporary ban on refugees as well as people from seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
