Yeah.
Yeah, especially like for me, you know, I became a Dominican citizen in 2024 after I had been there.
And I always think about, you know, seeing these people, some of which they had spent their entire lives in the Dominican Republic and knew nothing else outside of it.
But they were stateless because of this this 2014 decision.
Right.
And I was thinking, you know, they've spent their whole lives here and I have more of a right to citizenship than them just because my mom was born there and then left when she was a small child.
Like to me, it was an extremely bleak, bleak thing to realize just how how the state prefers some people to.
under it and then others not you know it was yeah i always think like you know this is this is a person who is a dominican like this is so so like culturally more dominican than i could ever be but i'm the one who who legally is entitled to citizenship yeah
Yeah, I used to think about that a lot when, like, I would go there and, like, we'd try and have Haitian folks come over to join us.
At the time, I was helping with some diabetes education, non-profit diabetes education for folks there.
And how much harder it was for the Haitian folks, even if they, in some cases, like, they had family who were there, they had spent most of their lives there, like...
For them, it was so much harder than it was for me who like, you know, I'm just a guy from Britain.
Like, like I have no stake in this at all, but I could, uh, you know, no one batted an eyelid when you fly into that airport there and come on through, you don't even need a visa.
Yeah, yeah.
I also think like, and this might be getting too into the weeds, but my great-great-grandparents had to leave Spain because of the monarchy.
And they were part of the people who were, or my family falls into part of the people who get citizenship through the Ley de Memoria Historica.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I've seen videos of so many videos and read so much about migrants trying desperately to reach Europe.
