I, Nezahualcoyotl, ask this:
Is it true one really lives on the earth?
Not forever on earth,
Only a little while here.
Though it be jade it falls apart,
though it be gold it wears away,
though they be quetzal feathers they are torn into parts,
not forever on earth,
only a little while here.
Is it true one really lives on the earth?

Sadly, it has become a common place to demonize immigrants, especially undocumented ones. Politicians use them as ideological tokens and the tendency is to forget their humanity. This story at the @jfkairport.bsky.social is insightful and relevant
