MIGRATING| Threaten Migrants via WhatsApp

Hello, how are you? Welcome to "Living among Cultures", from the Canary Islands to the world. Now, I will tell you some stories.

Stories of struggle, resilience and hope of migrants seeking a better future, facing cultural, legal and personal challenges in new horizons. 

Since 2020, the Canary Islands have received the arrival of thousands of young migrants, causing a rise in xenophobia to the point where a WhatsApp group  had been created to attack and threaten migrants arriving on boats. One user had shared videos in which he is seen threatening to kill a young man, showing him a large knife he had in his car.

And from what I've seen, in the US, almost at the same time, migrants approaching the border are suffering the same xenophobic delusions, not from citizens, but from the border patrol.

Thank you for tuning in to "Living among Cultures"! If you enjoyed today's episode, please take a moment to reflect on what was explained here. Feel free to leave me a comment!
