Selena Gomez surprised graduating immigrant students to Define American's YouTube live stream on Saturday. The 27-year-old singer shared a heartwarming and moving message to those finishing high school and college.

"Congratulations to all the immigrants! I know that this is a virtual ceremony, but it is very real. And it's very real to all the families, and all of you and your communities," Selena expressed during the #Immigrad 2020 Virtual Commencement.

"I want you guys to know that you matter. And that your experiences are a huge part of the American story," she continued.

The actress explained that when her family moved from Mexico to the United States, they too "set in motion" her American Dream and theirs.

"I'm a proud third-generation American-Mexican, and my family's journey and their sacrifices helped me get to where I am today," she shared. "Mine is not a unique story."

She pointed out that like her, "each and every one of you has a similar tale."

She reminded the graduating students that this is a time to celebrate their accomplishments.

"Regardless of where your family is from, regardless of your immigration status, you have taken action to earn an education, to make your families proud, and to open up your worlds," she expressed. "So I'm sending all of my love to you guys today and congratulations!" 

Closing her statement, she left one final (and moving) message: "I hope that you guys are set off to be everything that you want to be."
