Thousands of Mexicans March to Denounce Trump’s Deportation Plans

HeadlineFeb 13, 2017

Thousands of Mexicans marched on Mexico City on Sunday to denounce President Trump and his plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the U.S. This is Mexican writer Héctor Aguilar.

Héctor Aguilar: “I say that he’s insane. Mexicans have said no to all that he has done, and we are against the wall and deportations and against all that he is doing to Mexicans over there like they are enemies. This is how it’s perceived here. And there are families who have been very affected. Children don’t want to go to school. It’s a ghetto-like environment.”
