Many of Rodriguez's shared online works, such as Migration Is Beautiful, have become widely used and recognized in contemporary immigration advocacy. The monarch butterfly is a symbol of fluid migratory patterns that span the Americas across political borders. By combining this symbol with a positive and declarative statement, Rodriguez connects migration to the ebb and flow of the universe.
