It's been two years since Estela Juarez's mother, Alejandra, had to leave the United States, where she'd lived for over 20 years.In a two-minute video that aired during the DNC, Estela told her family's story: Her mom arrived in the U.S. as a teen, worked hard and paid taxes, and married her father, Temo Juarez, a naturalized citizen who served in the U.S. Marine Corps. "Every day that passes you deport more moms and dads, and take them away from kids like me.""Mr. President, my mom is the wife of a proud American Marine, and a mother of two American children," she said.
