The cruelty of how we treat undocumented immigrants is one of the biggest political issues being discussed in American media today, whether it's the border wall, family separation, or kids being kept in cages. This month, we're exploring the slogan "No Human Is Illegal" to understand the flaws in our current system and learn what a more humane, welcoming immigration process might look like. Immigrant rights activist and Ohio State biomedical engineering student Lia Gomez Perez kicks things off by sharing her personal story of immigrating to the US legally, a process which took over 11 years. You'll come away with an understanding of how complex and inaccessible the legal route to citizenship can be for even the most highly educated immigrants and how this broken system has led to the influx of undocumented immigrants that we see today.
