as a first mexican-american and daughter of immigrants that lives in texas, i find it quite telling that our country pursues immigrants peacefully living in their homes looking for a better future for themselves and their children but allows white people to hunt down and murder us in stores with legal guns. idc what yall say, i suffer from anxiety and depression and not once have i thought of opening fire to a store.
there is a four month old baby shot with over 40 injured and a two year- old dead amongst over 19. a man left a manifesto saying he was angry by the fact that hispanics were culturally invading and stealing jobs and all that racist crap. we are being killed and our only sin is moving and praying for a better future and bringing parts to our home. how is that a sin? and i cry because my country hates people like me, people with roots in a country that i have not once stepped into because of fears of being kidnapped.
i’m sorry for any grammar errors or mistakes but i am too tired and i will not be silenced. i am only 16 years old and live in fear that i will be shot at school where i’m supposed to be dreaming of being a doctor and college, or a movie with my friends or at a restaurant and now even the mall. i am 16 and i am scared that i will have to move to a country that i was not born in nor have ever visited. i am 16 and i’m scared for my baby sister and scared for my brother and for my parents and my friends for being killed when our biggest sin is being hispanic.
don’t let my words die, please. what happened in el paso was a hate crime. don’t let that fact be washed by the media of this country’s excuse of a president.
