The essay began: ‘In the 1970s, my aunt crossed the border from Mexico to the United States hidden in the back of a truck.
‘My grandparents followed, and my father was born in Texas soon after.
‘In 1992, I was born a U.S. citizen thanks to their bravery and sacrifice. Over the past four decades, members of my family have worked hard to gain United States citizenship.
‘Undocumented immigration is an issue I think about every day, and I never forget how blessed I am to have been born in this country thanks to my family and the grace of circumstance.
‘But when I read the news headlines or see debates about immigration rage on social media, I feel afraid for those in similar situations. I feel afraid for my country.’
She also said: ‘Immigration is a divisive political issue. It’s the subject of endless arguments and countless news stories. But immigration goes beyond politics and headlines. It is a human issue, affecting real people, dismantling real lives. How we deal with it speaks to our humanity, our empathy, our compassion. How we treat our fellow human beings defines who we are.’
Gomez then added: ‘I don’t claim to be an expert. I’m not a politician, I’m not a doctor, and I don’t work in the system at all.
‘I understand it’s flawed and that we need rules and regulations, but we also have to remember that our country was formed by people who came here from other countries. It’s time to listen to the people whose lives are being directly affected by immigration policies. It’s time to get to know the individuals whose complex stories have been reduced to basic headlines.’

According to Us Weekly, Selena feels like Bieber is firmly in her past.
‘Selena knows she’s better off without Justin, and that it’s the healthiest decision for her,’ an insider told the publication. ‘She is open to dating, but right now she is solely focused on herself and enjoying life to the best of her ability, and getting back to being the Selena that she and all of her close ones knew prior to dating Justin.
‘She is in a good place. She has been hanging out with old friends and family and keeping herself out of the limelight and away from public places where she might feel bombarded or overwhelmed.
‘Selena has an amazing support system and couldn’t be more grateful,’ the insider shared. ‘All of these things have helped drastically reduce her anxiety and have been huge proponents in her healing process.’
The second nuptials for the Biebers — they wed first in 2018 in New York — were held at the Somerset Chapel and later at the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort in South Carolina.
