Migrant

Most people think that a migrant is someone who leaves their country in search of riches or treasures, well let me tell you that it is the opposite.

Migrant is someone who leaves their country forced by circumstances or because at some point in their country they are denied basic rights such as work or freedom, among other things.

He does not go out to look for riches or treasures, he goes out in search of opportunities, leaving behind his riches and treasures that are nothing more than his home, the blessing of a mother or father, the embrace of his brothers, the caress and smile of a son , the advice and blessings of your uncles and aunts, the company and complicity of your cousins, the greeting of a good neighbor and so many things that no matter how insignificant they may seem, you do not realize the immense value you have until you cross that imaginary line, that more than dividing a country, it divides all the truly beautiful things you have in life and brings such horrible things as xenophobia, racism, intolerance and envy.

For all this and much more to you friend who is still in your country, I tell you how rich you are that after reading these words you have the happiness of hugging and kissing your parents, your children, brothers, cousins ​​and neighbors.

I would gladly exchange the three pesos that I earn here for those treasures that you have.
