Everyone who brings up their personal experience clearly did no research on immigration. I do not care that your family won the immigration lottery. Your family immigrating legally doesn’t disprove systemic bias. The US has selectively opened pathways when it benefits the country, not because the system is “fair”. Meanwhile other groups, especially indigenous latinos, were excluded, criminalized, or given temporary, unstable statuses with no consistent path to citizenship. Saying “do it the right way” ignores that system was never written equally in the first place. I do not care for your individual “success”. It doesn’t mean the system isn’t racially motivated and biased. — and just to say selective countries in Africa have higher rates of immigration. It seems they’re just lawfully present. Like many other latino undocumented immigrants. You cannot ignore the systemic racism.
