As Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, Silvia Garcia has a message for them.
She says each piece of vegetable and meat on their tables was harvested or processed by immigrants. Garcia is from Guatemala and already knows the impact of deportations. Her husband was removed from the country during a series of raids at poultry plants in central Mississippi in 2019.
The plants shut down temporarily after the raids, and immigrants feared walking or driving around the town for months. She says Trump going after unauthorized migrants will affect the lives of Americans who depend on migrant labor for food, food, construction, and other services. Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News, Carthage, Mississippi.
