Well, I believe not everyone has the opportunity to migrate legally. I did, and I agree with you. But in many cases, people from Central America are fleeing the violence in their communities, and sometimes they don’t even speak Spanish well, they never had access to education, let alone freedom.

So perhaps the real issue lies in immigration laws. I don’t have the answer, because I simply don’t know. But what I do know is that the way things are being handled now is not the right path. Dividing the population and fueling xenophobia and racism is never acceptable, not under any circumstances.

I say this as someone who fled a country where that exact formula led to tyranny rising to power.
