My Side Warlin Contrera Donald Trump said all immigrants are invaders but I say my mom was just looking for a better life. They say we are all criminals but I say I’m just a high school kid just trying to graduate, just somebody who wants to follow his dream. My world changed when I left the Dominican Republic to come here. I wasn’t going to know how to speak the language. Was I going to be able to make friends? Do you know what it’s like to arrive in a new country? To change schools, communities, cultures, and countries? They say we immigrants are all “drug dealers and rapists from shithole countries.” I say we are workers, mothers, fathers, and families looking to survive.
