MVP-2 Mexicans are like thieves and bad people, and we’re not really like that

“Angelito shared that Mexican immigrant families like his were not in the U.S. to cause trouble, but to improve their own chances at education, future work, and happiness.”

I was very sad when I was reading this passage. I believe there is no doubt that people move to a new place for a better life, but for what reason do the newcomers have to explain that? I think it is distrust and fear of the “old residents”. It is also understandable that they are scared that the resources they have are being taken away. I like the idea of photovoice project because in this platform, people with different background can share a same belief, that human beings are selfish and we have to admit it; but in the meanwhile human beings are capable to consider from someone else’s view and have empathy on others.
