    I had a Mexican coworker who is like this bitch. He described to me in detail how he illegally immigrated and crossed the borders. How his carrier straight left them in a shed for 2 days without food but eventually came back. How the desert felt on his back. How his older brother got caught and had to do the trip a second time.

    When he first told me this story, I cried. He was only 8 years old.

    Then Trump started getting popular… And dude jumped on that bandwagon. I reminded him about his struggles and I said what about the people that went through your journey. What about them?

    “I got my papers, fuck them immigrants”

    This was about the time I deleted Facebook and all social media.
