Yeah. Yeah. Even though some people always say, you know, on social media, oh, be careful when you travel. Not to me. I was really sure that I was safe. I felt safe. All I know is I felt that I had the, I mean, the freedom. I felt that I was a U.S. citizen in this country. Because I know we had an administration that was not hunting people that are good people.
America wasn't against immigrants, not like how they are today.
Well, actually, when Biden started let everyone in, I knew there was going to be a trouble. I knew there was going to be backwards against him.
Not in the beginning. But I knew that the American people started to getting mad at him because a lot of people was coming in. Everything started in New York.
Yes. Remember, and from here through New York.
Yeah. And I knew this was going to be something against everyone after. I knew it. Everyone is going to pay the price. I mean, a lot of people around me that have no papers, which, you know, I get frustrated listening to them, that they are undocumented. They were really mad about the people coming in today, you know, through the border. And I said, we cannot be selfish.
We came the same way looking for the same dreams.
Yeah. I talked to people that have no papers. They've been here for so long. They are referring to the ones that started crossing the border after 2020. They are really mad because if people that say, look, I have 25 years in this country and I never had the chance to have even a work permit. I pay taxes. I do this. I do this. I know why these people come and have everything easy.
Yes, sir. And you know what? I don't say that way. I am not saying, oh, close the border. No, because I am one of them. I am undocumented. I can't say that. Never, ever.
Look, at the end of this administration, everything was out of control. We can't be blind because it's the truth. I mean, it was out of control. There was a point where the news everywhere were talking about people doing not the right things, especially in New York. And I think this is something that the American people got mad for.
I knew, Michael, that Trump was going to win.
I knew it. Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. Because in this community is a lot of Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Cubans. So as I always say, they missing dictatorship. They missing to live in a dictatorship.
Oh, of course. Of course. They don't want freedom. They don't really want freedom. So... I wasn't surprised. I was kind of sure that he was going to win. Of course, I got worried because at this time he's coming stronger, threatening, you know, planting hate worse than ever.
What they say is, oh, don't worry, he's not going to touch the good people, only the criminals. That's what they have in mind. And you talk to them today and they're going to tell you that. They say only criminals.
No, this is not about you. You are a good person. You pay your taxes. You don't get in trouble. It's only for criminals. Don't worry. You are safe. You'll see. It's only with criminals. I know it's not only with criminals. It's with everyone. I have a friend. I have a very close friend. And after the election, I found out that he voted for Trump.
Yeah, of course. He's one of my best friends. And I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I cried like you have no idea. Wow. Because I said, look, it's not about freaking politics. How come you're going to do that to me?
No, don't worry. You don't have to think about it because the more you say, the more it's going to happen. Don't worry. Okay, it's not going to happen to me, but it's going to happen to families out there. It doesn't hurt you. And you yourself, you call yourself Christian in church every Sunday? I mean, it doesn't hurt you just to think that a lot of families are going to be separated.
Forget about me. Is that the Christian you are?
He came to my house after that. I mean, I'm trying to be, you know, like normal, but inside me, it's not the same anymore. It hurts, Michael. You know what? Because it's not because Trump is not about politics. is that you know what's coming. You know this man is coming for me, for my family.
