This point really highlights the gap between perception and reality when it comes to immigration discussions.

For those living in places like Los Angeles, the actual, day-to-day experience of immigration is often much more peaceful and integrated than some of the rhetoric would suggest.

It’s intriguing to see how narratives shaped outside these communities can skew public opinion and create fear, especially among people who have minimal exposure to immigrants.

Hearing from someone like you who lives in a highly diverse area is a reminder that there’s a big difference between actual lived experience and the stories spun in other parts of the country.

Thanks for sharing.
