and sat down. One of them offered away their salsa that they got on the side because they said they don’t like spicy stuff on her food. I was honestly shocked because I “thought” that Mexican people like to make they’re food spicy because of all of what I have seen in the store. Usually the spicy sauces are Mexican style. But because I thought that they liked the spiciness from the salsa on their food was me reading a book by its cover. All in all, Chimamanda’s talk was one of the most…

It's so sad how many immigrant families feel so scare about the new president, since it can change every Mexican family in the United States. Why been immigrant is so bad? How can Donald Trump have the right to classify every Mexican as criminals, rapist and drug addicts?
