Immigrants and the World Cup

i only got interested in immigrants when i became one myself. Annie moore was the very first immigrant through the brand new gate of ellis island that opened in 18 92. Every immigrant has a story of one life left behind and another one started anew. Why should imigrants have to prove themselves extraordinary to deserve a place at the table, to deserve a fighting chance? Constantly having to prove yourselv worthy of basic human dignity is exhausting and it's unfair. People are valuable because they are people. And i think tat we need to hold that close, because if we forget that, or if we deny us, then terrible things happen.
