Congresswoman Debbie Dingell represents Michigan's twelfth district. She invited Cindy Garcia as her guest to President Trump's first State of the Union. Due to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, Garcia's husband Jorge was deported to Mexico after living in America for 30 years. Congresswoman Dingell brought Garcia in order to place a human face on families torn apart by Trump administration policies. She says now, more than ever, comprehensive immigration reform is a necessity. "It's a living nightmare," Garcia said of her husband's deportation. "It's like dealing with death, except you never get to bury a body." She understands America's immigration system is broken, but is urging reform so no more families are torn apart like hers. Garcia's message to other immigrants struggling: stay strong, stay positive, there is a solution on the horizon.
