I want immigration reform to come into fruition, and I want it to be comprehensive, and I want it to have a path to citizenship, and I want to be involved politically every day.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I went through depression, which is something that we don't often talk about when we look at undocumented communities and deported families.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Every day, children who are U.S. citizens are separated from their families as a result of immigration policies that need fixing.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
My real story is this: I am the citizen daughter of immigrant parents who were deported when I was 14. My older brother was also deported.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Neighbors broke the news that my parents had been taken away by immigration officers, and just like that, my stable family life was over.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
For me, picking a college was really difficult. I wish I had had my parents there kind of supervising me. But I chose well. I did OK.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Throughout my childhood, I watched my parents try to become legal but to no avail. They lost their money to people they believed to be attorneys but who ultimately never helped. That meant my childhood was haunted by the fear that they would be deported.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I think despite what we've seen on TV, people like seeing women and knowing about women's stories and their struggles and their truth. I think we've seen it in a lot of these shows - when there's a cast of all women, it does very well.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
We need someone who's going to govern on behalf of everyone in this country, including immigrants.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
My father, who worked as a dishwasher, was especially anxious. He did not like being here undocumented.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
My father was desperately trying to be a legal contributor to this society.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I feel like there's this misconception that immigrants come here and just don't care about the system and paying taxes, and that's not true.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Once my family was taken, I became fully aware that my community matters less to some people. That we are treated differently because of the color of our skin or where our parents were born.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I was lucky enough to be with my parents until I was 14. Having my parents tell me that I could do anything. I was special. I matter.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
When I go to places, I love going to all those kind of amusement parks and kind of cheesy things to do.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
My parents were desperately trying to become documented citizens of this country and tried very hard to get there, but to no avail.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
We were like any other family with the same troubles and some of the same happy moments.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I always thought, 'Wow, I know I have an important story to tell,' but I never really thought it would happen.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Whatever the reason is, I am happiest when connecting with the human experience. It lets me know that I'm not alone in this world.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I think one of my best qualities is my ability to empathize with people. Perhaps it's because my journey has been so bumpy.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
'Doom Patrol' is doing the most - and the wackiest - things, but when you've been alive in this time, you know it's actually not so wacky. Awful, strange, and inexplicable things do happen.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
It's interesting when people access their inner little girl or little boy. I remember doing tons of those exercises when I was in school, where you're trying to dig into your vulnerability. There's no mask for a child, so all those feelings are real.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I worked while in high school and college so that I could pay for school. I also had loans.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
When you're the child of undocumented immigrants, you learn to keep your mouth shut.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Immigrants are working hard to give our families a better life. Isn't that what the American Dream is?
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Crazy Jane is a complex individual who always has a lot brewing. She tries to hold things together on the surface, which is something that we all try to do. She uses these different personalities to try to cope with life.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I've experienced colorism in that way: where if you're lighter, then you'll potentially be accepted into society better than if you were darker-skinned.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
It's important that we vote, because this is how we can bring about change and bring about reform, and, honestly, I don't see Donald Trump, anything that he's saying to be effective or comprehensive. Instead of really uniting our country - we are the United States of America - he is dividing us.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I definitely had to pave my own path, which wasn't always the easiest thing to do.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
It's sometimes a little embarrassing to take selfies, but sometimes I want to take a selfie because I'm like, 'Oh I look cute. I like my hat. I like what I'm wearing, and I want to show it off.'
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
This is the kind of stuff me and my friends talk about. We sit around and drink coffee, and we're really angry: We're like, 'Where's the Latino Museum?' Where can we go with our families, where can we go with our friends to learn about our history?
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
It is a huge myth that our voices don't matter, that our vote doesn't count.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
Sometimes I want to bury myself in bed, and I don't want anyone to know anything about me, and I don't want anyone to judge me.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
While awaiting deportation proceedings, my parents remained in detention near Boston, so I could visit them. They would have liked to fight deportation, but without a lawyer and an immigration system that rarely gives judges the discretion to allow families to stay together, they never had a chance.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
It's disheartening to see the hate speech and the divisive behavior. But at the same time, I have to believe that smart people and good people of this country don't give in to that.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
People like seeing people being human and real, and I think that's been lacking on TV.
Quote by -Diane Guerrero
I worked a variety of jobs in retail and at coffee shops all through high school. And, though I was surrounded by people who cared about me, part of me ached with every accomplishment, because my parents weren't there to share my joy.
