In this episode, the Sugars take a question from a young woman who came to the United States as an 11-year-old undocumented immigrant. After years of uncertainty and limbo, she is now poised to become a citizen, but wonders how she can ever make up for the time she lost. The Sugars are joined by the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Ruben Vives, who grew up under similar circumstances.

  • Dear sugar is supported by.

  • The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heartsick sugar is here, the both of us speaking straight into your ears.

  • I'm Cheryl strayed.

  • I'm Steve Almond.

  • This is dear sugar radio.

  • Oh dear song, won't you please share some little sweetness with me?

  • I check my bell rides every day.

  • Oh, and the sugar you send my way.

  • Dear sugars, I don't even know where to begin.

  • I've been caught in a 19 year battle with time and it's just now finally subsiding.

  • I was brought to the US as an eleven year old and became an undocumented immigrant.

  • I had nothing to do with the decision to be in this country and it has shaped absolutely everything about me.

  • I am now 30 years old.

  • I understand it may not seem that traumatic, but it is so alienating, so vastly confusing, and in some ways so tremendously dehumanizing.

  • Despite having a good support group, I don't have anyone who truly understands my nature or my experience.

  • My relationships with men have failed, due in great part, I believe, to my circumstances and my fear of being labeled a green card hunter.

  • My career has been halted by my lack of documentation and my character has been affected by searching for opportunities and being denied because of my legal status.

  • I have constant inner conflict regarding my roots and how americanized I've become.

  • I've been uprooted, but I legally belong nowhere.

  • So much is stolen when one grows up as an undocumented immigrant.
