00:00:01.868 --> 00:00:03.690
A Bible

00:00:04.604 --> 00:00:06.600
Four pairs of socks.

00:00:07.273 --> 00:00:08.742
Four pairs of boxers.

00:00:09.909 --> 00:00:11.378
Three pants.

00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:13.446
A wallet

00:00:13.446 --> 00:00:18.351
...with photos of me and the children.

00:00:20.754 --> 00:00:21.888
Four T-shirts

00:00:23.890 --> 00:00:25.191
A pair of shoes.

00:00:26.893 --> 00:00:28.194
A hat.

00:00:36.503 --> 00:00:37.871
The question is...

00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:40.273
If you think of someone you love dearly

00:00:40.573 --> 00:00:41.174
Yeah?

00:00:41.274 --> 00:00:41.941
okay..

00:00:42.208 --> 00:00:44.844
And that person was about to be deported

00:00:44.978 --> 00:00:47.480
to a country where you were
never gonna see them again

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:48.181
Okay..

00:00:48.214 --> 00:00:51.785
They told you...you could pack
a bag this big 25 pounds,

00:00:52.185 --> 00:00:56.489
What are some of the things that you WOULD
want to make sure that you pack for that person?

00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:57.757
Oh wow!

00:00:57.857 --> 00:00:59.250
Oh my gosh!

00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:00.460
That\'s a heavy question.

00:01:00.627 --> 00:01:03.563
Ouf! That\'s a tough one because
my parents are immigrants.

00:01:03.563 --> 00:01:04.798
Am I going too or is just her?

00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:05.965
Just her.

00:01:06.466 --> 00:01:07.667
Oh.

00:01:09.836 --> 00:01:11.171
It\'s too hard.

00:01:11.171 --> 00:01:15.942
What would I put in there? Photographs.
Definitely yeah, number one choice for sure.

00:01:15.942 --> 00:01:17.100
Chocolate!

00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:19.120
Chocolate. She just told me

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:24.584
Articles of clothing that obviously
mean a lot to both of us.

00:01:25.151 --> 00:01:28.388
Favorite clothes of hers
that she really likes to wear...

00:01:28.455 --> 00:01:31.958
...that\'s mine, shoes that are
strong and sturdy.

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:34.127
Best boots.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.795
And they only have this?

00:01:36.863 --> 00:01:38.732
My childhood cross.

00:01:38.932 --> 00:01:40.166
His camera.

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:41.701
Maybe a blanket...

00:01:41.868 --> 00:01:43.236
that I would give to them

00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:47.273
...so that way they will always have it be
warm or comfortable no matter where they are.

00:01:47.273 --> 00:01:49.376
You, you don\'t want to
pack the bag for them..

00:01:49.909 --> 00:01:51.778
you know? So what do you put in there.

00:01:52.112 --> 00:01:53.279
It\'s not enough, really!

00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:56.116
If they were being deported...

00:01:56.716 --> 00:01:58.840
Well the sad thing is...

00:01:58.841 --> 00:02:01.955
This bag wouldn\'t be enough \'cause the
only person I can think of is my daughter...

00:02:01.955 --> 00:02:03.523
...and that means I\'m going with her.

00:02:05.925 --> 00:02:12.650
When I started to pack the suitcase,
to bring to his deportation officer

00:02:12.966 --> 00:02:18.905
I felt like part of my life was
leaving in that suitcase

00:02:19.339 --> 00:02:27.881
That suitcase is full of tears,
frustrated hopes and dreams.

00:02:29.115 --> 00:02:31.851
Broken dreams.
