Gabe Ortíz: When Trump demonizes immigrants as takers and “not human beings,” he’s talking about ppl like my mom. She worked for years as a domestic worker to support our family. Classes at night for a while. She’s my hero. My mom isn’t “poisoning the blood” of America. She is the American story.

And I am pretty good nowadays con los nombres de las verduras y las frutas.
