In this podcast "I was always with you America", I pursue to challenge the negative preconceptions of undocumented immigrants (such preconceptions being "criminal" and "aliens"). As a second generation undocumented immigrant living in the United States myself, through this podcast, I strive to represent and voice out the hardships and the struggles that we undocumented immigrants face living in the U.S. In this podcast, I will interview a second generation undocumented immigrant, Michelle (pseudonym), who became undocumented due to her parent's decision of coming to America. Michelle and I will be exploring the personal migration narrative and the hardships that Michelle had faced  growing up in the U.S. since she was only two years old as second generation undocumented immigrant. Through this podcast, I hope that people who have a biased view of undocumented immigrants come to understand that we are not criminals or aliens, but people with a story: people who are deeply rooted in both American and our country of origin's culture,  or even perhaps many more!
