EDWIN PITTI: We’re live on Univision so you can tell me what it means for you, as an immigrant, to be here today.
ARLENE: Yes. Good afternoon. As I was telling you before- my name is Arlene, I am an immigrant, I am a DACA beneficiary. And we've been getting these kinds of questions all day about why, as immigrants, we are here. It is very important to show our solidarity with Palestine. We know that the Biden administration truly failed us, they disappointed us when it comes to immigration reform, just as they have been disappointing us with their foreign policies such as the oppression, and funding the war that is going on in Palestine right now, funding Israel's military.
PITTI: You don't support that, then. So showing solidarity is important to you.
ARLENE: It is super important that we are showing solidarity. We have seen how the United States has created wars in our countries like in El Salvador, the civil war, we have seen the- the disappointment of NAFTA. And we have seen that that technology- the technology that they are developing for Israel against Palestine is the same technology that they are using against us. Our solidarity is important, because our liberation is going to come jointly, because we know that migration and borders have to be torn down so that we can find that liberation.
