Moises Serrano describes how the anti-immigrant policies put in place after 9/11 shattered his immigrant dreams of belonging in the United States. Before 9/11, Moises felt that his life was filled with limitless possibilities. Growing up in Yadkin County, North Carolina, Moises felt like a full member of his community, embraced by friends and neighbors as both a Mexican and an American.

Moises began to feel this shift after 9/11. As federal and state governments imposed new immigration and enforcement laws, Moises’s life became increasingly restricted; he lost the ability to legally drive, access to higher education, and the ability to qualify for well-paying jobs. Perhaps the biggest blow for Moises was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002. Moises recalls this as a defining moment when he began to assume that he and other immigrants were being defined as enemies with the full force of the government directed against them. In his interview with us, Moises stressed his efforts to both survive and reclaim the dreams born during his childhood.

Moises Serrano’s interview is featured in our Tell Me What Democracy Looks Like series, part of the museum's ongoing Undocumented Organizing Collecting Initiative. Visit our site to learn more and find related educational resources available in English, Spanish, and Korean: s.si.edu/tmwdll.
