Trump’s promise of mass deportation throws undocumented Texans into fear, uncertainty

Raw Story  

"Trump’s promise of mass deportation throws undocumented Texans into fear, uncertainty" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. “Texas will be ground zero for targeting immigrants.” The Tribune spoke with some of those undocumented Texans in Fort Worth, Dallas, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, and many shared their worries about being forced to leave their family, homes, and communities behind if Trump follows through on his campaign promise. “We saw this coming,” said Susana Herrera, a 50-year-old undocumented woman who lives in El Paso with her husband and has two grown children who are U.S. citizens. Credit: Desiree Rios for The Texas Tribune “Our blood is boiling in fear” A 43-year-old Edinburg woman said she and her husband have spent years working in the fields picking onions, cleaning houses and picking up garbage since they came to the U.S. from Mexico in their 20s.
