Estefania Mesa, a first-year undecided major, attends the Love Knows No Border vigil on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019. "I moved here from Medellin, Colombia, when I was 10 years old. First, my dad moved to the United States four years prior. He came by himself [and] it took him 12 years to get his visa approved," Mesa said. "It’s just kind of sad how people just think undocumented are less than others and the first thing they say is do it legally, but it’s like the process is long. It’s hard to even get your visa… it took my dad 12 years, it took me four."
Marco Leonardo Chumbimuni, a sophomore psychology and sociology double major and political action committee chair of Mi Pubelo, attends the Love Knows No Border vigil on Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019. "Every morning that we wake up right, a family has been separated, that’s the way ICE operates. It’s that everyday a family may be holding hands together, sharing their blessings of their food, pray, and I’m sure one of them says ‘thank you God for keeping us together another day,’ and a couple of hours later, they’re no longer together and this happens everyday," Chumbimuni said. "What unfortunately missing a piece of papers and nine numbers does is pushes us more into shadows and many grow comfortable there because we feel safe. Because law enforcement won’t see us, because ICE won’t see us. It’s a safer environment then being out in public right? We can’t live in the shadow anymore. We just cannot. Each day we do it, each do we do, ICE knows no bounds. They’re taking away everything, especially our feeling of safety."
