NEVER look down on people who do service, labor, or farming work because you don't eat and the world doesn't get built or work without them.

The countless contributions of immigrants has made America Great !!! We should celebrate it, not try to denigrate it. Stop fearing the others.

The truth that “neither” side wants to admit is that American fruit farmers would go out of business without immigrant labor

I think it was Cheech Marin who said "You want me to go back to *_my_* country? We didn't come to *_your_* country. Your country *came to us".*

John Leguizamo is not just a great actor but he is also a great activist for equality of all people. He is also a courteous person, I still remember briefly meeting him and George Foreman in passing during the early 2000s at a Oscar De La Hoya vs Campas fight in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Casino, when I said hello to them they responded back to me along with a fist bump and smile, these are two great human beings!!! 😎🤓🥸🤠👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

It's nice to see a well-known figure like John do projects like this. He surely has more lucrative opportunities competing for his time and effort, but he clearly feels it's more important to tell these stories.
