'But my Mom doesn't have papers'

'But my Mom doesn't have papers'

Second-grader joins national movement that's declaring 'immigrant rights are civil rights'





With legislation popping up all over the country targeting immigrant groups, a national movement is forming to fight back. In one example in the video, Arizona bans ethnic studies, in spite of the fact that the state's own superintendent is clueless on Chicano history. In response, students of a popular Mexican-American Studies program in Tucson organize and blockade their high school to stop superintendent from entering.
