You have no idea.
Every time I posted about this and I get so much hate.
Also, like I get immediately people saying horrible things about immigrants and saying horrible things about me.
And I get unfollowed immediately.
Like people don't like it.
It's the same country.
OK, I have spent time on the trail of immigrants.
I was in the southern Darien Gap where a lot of the immigrants were coming and I spoke to dozens of people who were doing the journey.
And maybe I just got lucky or unlucky that I spoke to the majority of the people that I spoke to had, you know, a lot of them were from Haiti, from Venezuela, places that are completely torn up.
No economic opportunities whatsoever.
These are the stories that I know are happening.
And I have a good friend.
His name is Jacob Soboroff.
He's a reporter for MSNBC.
And he's been covering immigration raids from the beginning.
And one of the stories he did, and I love that I'm talking about this because this has become really important for me.
Because I live in L.A.
and I'm affected by this on many levels.
