Imagine being 16 years old, dealing with school, chores and the social pressures of today’s day and age.

Osceola County teenager Christina Jaramillo, however, said she has one more thing to worry about: Being asked if she is in America legally.

“I felt sad a little,” she said. “I am like, 'Why are they asking me these questions for no reason?'”

Jaramillo said she was racially profiled by one of her teachers at school, who asked her things like: “When did you come to the U.S. and approximately what year?”

“I just want to know all these questions,” she explained. Jaramillo is a legal U.S. citizen.

Jaramillo's parents come from Mexico and she feels like this all happened in light of President Donald Trump’s push on immigration laws.

She said it was an embarrassing situation since she was singled out in public.

“He said it really loud so all my classmates heard and one of my friends overheard it and said, 'Are you illegal?"” Jaramillo said.

Democratic Congressman Darren Soto asked local immigration leaders to join him for a discussion. On the same day the Department of Homeland Security released documents on the president’s plan to crack down on immigration.

Under these new directives, deportations will be sped up. Officials can deport anyone who’s undocumented, regardless of having committed a serious crime or not. And local police will also be able to enforce immigration.

“This is not going to make us more safe,” Soto said. “It’s certainly not going to be in our economic or unity interest in this nation to do this.”

While Jaramillo is an American citizen, she worries about those who are not. She believes immigration is more than a political issue, but a human issue.

“I hope they fix this problem. I don’t want other people to feel sad,” she added.
