Words From the People We’ve Helped

As a child I never really took into account how much my parents weren’t able to do being [undocumented] immigrants,” recalls Antonio Alcala Jr., the oldest child of Santiaga Galindo and Antonio Alcala, a Mexican couple living in Texas.

 

“[As I got older] it really affected me. There was always the fear of not seeing them again, of struggling to make a living. [I worried] I’d have to quit school to dedicate myself to work and care for my siblings [if they got deported.]”

 

Antonio’s mother, Santiaga originally came to our law firm about her husband, Antonio senior. Both parents were undocumented, but Antonio senior had a criminal record for domestic violence – issues they had long since resolved through counselling. Still, Santiaga knew that the ICE was cracking down on immigrants with records, and she didn’t want her family to get torn apart.
