Watching vet stories: what I learn.

Tweet

Good morning, friends. Today I am watching a documentary about a vet in the US who works helping out people who have no money to care for their pets. And for the first time I see a side of the US I did not know about: the poverty in some places. There are whole neighborhoods made with huts. There is poverty, dirt and too many pets. The people are immigrants from Mexico. I doubt if they lived worse in their own country. And I see here the same thing that happens in my country. Years ago, in my country, the government gave houses to the poor people. But now, with too many immigrants, the same places are full of people again. The only difference is their accent. They are no longer chileans, they are venezuelans, colombians, peruvians and people from Haiti. I remember that the first time in my life that I saw a Black person was when I went to the US when I was 11. Now the biggest farmer´s market in Santiago has changed. The people who sell come from Haiti and talk befween them in a different language. And the products they sell include some food from other countries that I had never seen before. The US is changing too. I wonder what can be done with so many street dogs and cats and so many poor people. I just read that the US is the country with the greatest number of Spanish speaking people. What can we do with immigrants? Clarly there is not enough work for them. And what can we do with street dogs and cats? The answer is not a wall. There must be another one. What do you think?
