Juan Rodriguez has been in the United States for over a decade and as his daughter prepares to graduate, he prepares to go back to his motherland.
Even though Juan Rodriguez entered illegal over a decade ago, he came to live life of appreciation and dedication for the opportunity to be in the land of the free and home of the brave.
Since he has been here illegally, he has been checking in with immigration officers to maintain good rapport with authorities. Considering how hard Trump has made it for immigrants and Latinos in general, it's no mystery that they're trying to walk the straight and provide for their family.
It's such a beautiful moment to see your child take the stage and be handed a piece of paper that means so much to the latino community. To be deported after is just so sad.
