“There weren’t many opportunities to work in Paraguay. I was selling tools on the street. There was no money. There was nothing. I came to Argentina when I was nineteen and life has been so much better. I work every day. I’m close to opening another shop just like this. I do get called a lot of names like ‘Shitty Paraguayan.’ But I’m used to it now. In the beginning I would try to fight back, but not anymore. When I first arrived, I fought a man who tried to stab me through the cage. But he came back with twenty people and destroyed my store. So I don’t fight back anymore. Everyone in the neighborhood knows me now, so I’m treated with more respect. And my son was born in this country. So this one is an Argentinian. He's going to study.”

So much xenophobia and racism everywhere. We're all human and we're all in this together.

Hey Brother,
I think most people in America get it. I think people want to have immigration that is under control. One of the issues of borders is culture. Not all cultures seek the same ideals. So with controlled immigration one gets to select those that are interested in combining with the host country culture. I am not a fan of multiculturalism.
