7. Kali - Life as a Mixed Status Family

Kali is an American Citizen, but her husband is undocumented. Together they have a 3 year old US Citizen son, making them a mixed status family. Kali shares what it's been like to deal with an immigration system that doesn't have a reasonable pathway to legal status for her husband. She mentions presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke and the work he's done in an effort to help families like hers. She talks about American Families United, a nonprofit organization that lobbies for a reasonable way for families in situations like hers to adjust status and avoid separation. More than 1 million U.S. citizens and their spouses and children have been separated or risk separation and AFU is fighting to change that. *Visit the American Families United webpage.
