As human beings, as vital members of society, and as contributors to their communities, undocumented immigrants deserve an immigration system that acknowledges their inherent rights.
Education, as an opportunity to be inclusive of cultural wealth, is not inclusive in the modern age and suggests to students that there is a scale that finds their native language inferior to American English.
The burden of taking the time and making the effort to learn how other cultures name their children and pronounce their names does not come easily to American society and media.
These are the women who are the backbone of society and leave things just a little bit better than when they had found it because that’s just what immigrants do.
The blanket purpose of dealing with and preventing illegal immigration does not justify the significant human rights violations that ICE has carried out.
For those of AAPI descent or those who are allies to our community, in the defense of Asian American lives, we should not be permissive of the hate crimes and hate speech that have been condoned by past leaders or enduring cultural biases.
We are all rebuilding confidence in the systems that have been bent or have always been broken, and as students, we are seeking to do what we have always been taught: learn a new way.
While our politicians preach about the inclusivity of the United States, microaggressions toward immigrant Americans run rampant, rendering assimilation a prerequisite to claiming the label “American.”
Instead of gifting us 30 days of inclusion, allow marginalized populations a seat at the table, a page in the history books and a place to call home that is accepting of our identity and history.
