Submitted 6 months ago by participant

Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights, from Breakthrough.tv.
 
Breakthrough went "live from jail" and interviewed several long time permanent U.S residents who face possible deportation because of unfair 1996 immigration laws. The three we interviewed will most likely be sent back to countries they haven't seen since they were very young. As one says, "this is a nightmare that I've not been able to wake up from."
