Migrants like my parents should be turned away at the border, US election
Like millions of people living in the United States, Abigail Solorzanos parents came to the country illegally. Crossing the southern border after a long journey from Nicaragua more than three decades ago, they surrendered to the authorities, claimed asylum and raised their daughter in their new home in the Miami suburbs. Now, Abigail is one of a growing number of Latinos who think people like her parents should be turned away. You dont know their background, she says, of the millions of illegal migrants who have arrived in the US under the Biden administration. We dont know what theyre doing. Its scary. My parents did come illegally. But they went through the process when they were here. They got caught, and they went through the proper steps to become legalised. The Telegraph met Abigail at the Alpha and Omega megachurch in Florida a vast complex more similar to a concert venue than a traditional place of worship, where thousands of Latinos meet each Sunday.
