What if we do nothing?What if we do nothing?A teenage boy will cross the desert to be with the

parents

he has not seen since he was two.

Leaving behind the “parents” who’ve raised him

Adios, abuelito.

Te quiero, abuelita.

Meeting his siblings for the first time.

Thrust into a new and extraño world.

Lost and Found.

What if we do nothing?What if we do nothing?A teenage girl will span the distance between her

mother and her father

Their divorce imprinted on her heart.

Split in two.

Mexico and America

“Where are you from?” we ask.

Her big eyes respond.

Blank.

¿De donde soy? No lo sé. I don’t know.

Born in the United States of America.

Carried to Mexico at three by her Mexican mother.

Adiós, Papa.

Te quiero.

Living in Mexico but not legalized there means

No high school.

No driver’s license.

No future in Mexico.

She returns to America,

Land of the free at eighteen.

Driven back across the border by her father.

Adiós, Mama.

Te quiero mucho!

Invisible there.

Silent here.

What if we do nothing?What if we do nothing?A young man will wait and listen as Arjona sings in the background:

His brother and father will cross into Mexico to visit his sick grandmother.

He will wait at home. Left behind.

Papers submitted. Hands in prayer.

Please change something.

Let me work. Let me drive. Let me stay.

I know no other country.

My parents crossed the border with me when I was a baby.

This is my home.

America, Let me be

Visible.

Free.

What if we do nothing?What if we do nothing?These children live.

Silent.

Invisible.

Little liberty or justice.

For them.

While waiting for a universal visa to unite their divided lives.
