Hi all.

Today's news about Temporary Protected Status (TPS) means that I am at risk of deportation, and going back to my country would be just throwing me to the wolves.

I see people cheering for this and good for them. They voted, they chose this, it is in their right.

I was born at the wrong place at the wrong time. I have never had the chance to vote, neither in the US nor in my country. In one because I was not old enough to vote when dictatorship came to power. In the other, I was never given the right to vote at any point.

I have worked hard to have what I have and have had to make immense sacrifices to be where I am in life. It is not my fault that my country crashed and burned, and it is not my fault that there are criminal migrants. Never committed a crime. Never done anything illegal. Never been to court.

I am a public worker. I am engaged in projects and activities with my local community. I pay my taxes on time.

Regardless of your opinion on immigration policies, I am a person currently at risk of deportation.

I cannot go back to my country as I and my family will most likely face persecution from the authoritarian government that forced us to flee in the first place.

With all that being said, unless stated otherwise I will either be closing or privating this account on September. This also goes for all of my other accounts (twitter, discord, etc).

Have a good evening.
