私の頭から離れませんでした
at the tip of Lower Manhattan with my mom,
ロウワー・マンハッタンの突端で

移民がいます

外国生まれの親を持っています
because I study global migration patterns.

of these strong relationships;
すなわち社会的な輪の
in the debate about immigration policy.
極めて重要な点を忘れがちです
on the circles around them,
注目すべきだという点です
who are left behind:
アメリカに残って
苦しむのも彼らだからです
of the deported
who are separated by borders.
兄弟や姉妹がいます

Why you should listen
Duarte Geraldino is an American journalist who travels the country documenting how culture is being changed and challenged by shifting demographics, business and technology. He leads a team of skilled journalists who produce multimedia reports and short films that have been distributed around the world through national and global news networks. He is currently working on a multi-year project that chronicles the lives of citizens who lose people to deportation called Hear Our Stories Now.
He is currently a special correspondent for PBS NewsHour. At the NewsHour, he reports and writes long-form television stories about business trends like the housing crisis that is gripping many American cities and developments in labor laws that some see as choking middle and low-income workers.
In 2017, one of Geraldino's short documentaries, Ordered Out, was screened in New York's Times Square as part of the Dominican Film Festival New York. It explores the impact of American identity and immigration and tells the story of a family being torn apart by US laws. In the same year, he was selected as a TED Resident. During his residency at TED's global headquarters, he started developing a digital journalism project to document the lives of US citizens who have lost people to deportation.
