Since my main article focuses on individuals who have been deported from the United States to Tijuana, I want my first quote to be impactful, emotional and capable of setting the tone for their story.
I have a few questions in mind that could lead to that kind of response:
- Can you tell me about the moment you learned you were being deported?
- How did deportation change your life and your family’s life?
- Where do you feel most at home now?
These initial questions allow the person to share their experiences and reveal the human side of immigration. My goal is to capture a quote that reflects how deportation affects families and individuals beyond the moment someone is forced to leave.
Signing off,
Violet Garcia
