We are in a difficult situation with immigration–most people are scared to go out even though it is necessary to; parents have to go to work, to drop their kids off at school, most people travel with lots of fear... but we hope and think positive thoughts and pray to God that we return home safely, for me, for my family, for all the immigrants, we are here.
