Raúl expressed disappointment that some migrants position themselves against other migrants during critical moments.
“The saddest thing… is immigrants who are here and are against immigrants, and that’s what Eduardo Verástegui is doing,” he said.

De Molina expanded on the topic by recalling his own arrival in the United States.
“You, being an immigrant… are you going to forget those who crossed the border with nothing?” he asked emphatically.
He explained that he arrived by plane from Spain and was able to establish himself without facing the hardships many experience today.
He emphasized the contribution of the migrant community to the economy, mentioning examples such as agricultural fields in Los Angeles.
“People are afraid to go to work, people are afraid to leave their homes,” he warned, referring to the current climate of tension.
