Immigration Nation

Mishelle Trejo

I am in pursit of a nation that recognizes the vital work of immigrats to build this country. My topic brings awareness to xenophobia and immigration detention centers. It’s important to me because I come from a family of immigrants and my great grandfather was a part of the bracero program. Knowing my family has a history of being essential workers makes me proud and also mad when trump says we’re rapists. I created this image by reviewing national archive images of the bracero program.
