America is long overdue to give respect and appreciation to Mexico. America does a lot of trade and even has millions of people visiting this beautiful country every year. We should abolish the hateful stigma surrounding their respectable culture and land. As Americans, especially those that embrace their culture simply by eating their food or listening to their music, we should help change this cruel attitude towards Mexico.

This goes to show that Mexican people are resilient and willing to do the dirty work that most people won’t do. He also goes into defending people against immigration by explaining they aren’t “stealing” jobs, they are simply taking the essential jobs that Americans don’t care to
