Susana sat her teenage sons at the dining room table after Donald Trump’s latest election win. It was time to reveal a secret. She and her husband, Carlos, had hidden it from the boys for years. They didn’t tell them why the family always drove when they went on vacation. They hadn’t explained why they never traveled to Mexico, where many of their loved ones live. The parents even stayed quiet when their younger son, 13-year-old Andrés, repeatedly declared during the 2024 presidential campaign how much he wanted Trump to win. But after the election results were clear, Susana and Carlos opened up to their sons. The parents explained that they’re undocumented, and that things could change soon for their family. The news came as a shock for the boys, who were born in California and are US citizens. “They had no idea that we didn’t have papers,” Susana says. “But if one day something happens to us, we don’t want them to be taken by surprise.”
