A video circulating on social media is causing an uproar after capturing a black woman pleading with white demonstrators advocating for undocumented immigrants to let her pass so she can get to work and provide for her family.

Shared by Frontlines – TPUSA, the footage displays the woman being hindered by traffic-blocking protesters in New York City. Some protesters hold signs featuring “ICE” alongside a New York Yankees logo and a raised fist, while Mexican flags are visible in the background.

The woman’s focus is solely on reaching her job. Her stance on the protest is unknown—she neither supports nor opposes it, as her main concern is to earn a living and care for her children, like many other Americans.

“I have a kid, if I don’t get to work,” she argues as the two hippies lecture her on illegals allegedly having their kids taken away. “What about my kid? If I lose my job, then what happens to my kid?”
