What Does U.S. Citizenship Mean Anymore? | Hyphenación

Documentation divides the Latino community in the U.S. between those whose existence in this country is permitted and those who are criminalized for their very presence. This line of legality has been drawn deeper and has changed quickly during the second Trump administration. In the face of this uncertainty, Host Xorje Olivares speaks with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio (The Undocumented Americans) and Javier Zamora (Solito) – two authors who have chronicled their own experiences growing up undocumented– to ask “What does citizenship mean, today?”
