Camila Cabello took the stage at the 2018 Grammy Awards to show her support for DREAMers—children of undocumented immigrants who were negatively affected when the Trump administration rescinded Obama’s DREAM Act in September.
Using her own immigrant story to drive the message home, Cabello said, “Today, in this room full of music’s dreamers, we remember that this country was built by dreamers, for dreamers, chasing the American dream. I’m here on this stage tonight because, just like the DREAMers, my parents brought me to this country with nothing in their pockets but hope. They showed me what it means to work twice as hard and never give up. And honestly no part of my journey is any different from theirs.”
Cabello finished the powerful moment by stating, “I’m a proud Cuban-Mexican immigrant, born in Eastern Havana, standing in front of you on the Grammy stage in New York City, and all I know is, just like dreams, these kids can’t be forgotten and are worth fighting for.”
