In anessay published inTIMEon Tuesday, the same day as her outing, Gomezspoke out about the immigration crisis in the United States. The singer — who is currentlyworking on new music— opened up about some of her own family members who came to the U.S. undocumented and how her experience as a Mexican-American inspired her to executive produce a new docu-series for Netflix calledLiving Undocumented.
“Undocumented immigration is an issue I think about every day, and I never forget how blessed I am to have been born in this country thanks to my family and the grace of circumstance,” Gomez said in the piece, explaining that her aunt was the first out of her family to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S. in the back of a truck in the 1970s.
“My grandparents followed, and my father was born in Texas soon after,” she wrote. The songstress credits her family’s “bravery and sacrifice” for her being born a U.S. citizen.

But Gomez knows that her story is not the norm and said that watching footage about the eight subjects inLiving Undocumentedbrought her to tears.
“It captured the shame, uncertainty, and fear I saw my own family struggle with,” she wrote of the docu-series. “But it also captured the hope, optimism, and patriotism so many undocumented immigrants still hold in their hearts despite the hell they go through.”
“Fear shouldn’t stop us from getting involved and educating ourselves on an issue that affects millions of people in our country,” the “Wolves” singer added. “Fear didn’t stop my aunt from getting into the back of that truck. And for that, I will always be grateful.”
Living Undocumentedis currently streaming on Netflix.
