Tuve una experiencia en donde sentí que las leyes no favorecen al migrante, son demasiados requisitos para tener derecho al trabajo, a la salud, al estudio. Hay diferencias entre ser y no ser ciudadano regular, lograr estar regular no es fácil. Por eso considero que es importante pertenecer a organizaciones y conocer sobre tus derechos, participar de las actividades me hace sentir bien y me hace comprender que muchas cosas no tienen que ver con un país en específico, porque en todos los lugares hay desigualdad.

I had an experience where I felt that the laws didn’t favor migrants. There are too many requirements and restrictions, which complicate one’s ability to obtain work, health care, and education. There are differences between being have regular and irregular immigration status, and achieving the former is not easy. For this reason, I think that it is important to belong to organizations and know your rights. Participating in activities with these organizations makes me feel like part of a community and has helped me to realize that many issues aren’t country-specific; inequality exists everywhere.
