On his first day at the White House, Trump declared a "national emergency" at the U.S.-Mexico border and implemented new measures to curb irregular migration and facilitate the deportation of what he calls "illegal aliens". Throughout history, humans have migrated from one place to another, leaving behind a known world, abandoning their homes, and embarking on a journey of uncertainty beyond their control, a journey filled with great challenges and dangers. Serapio Ruiz attempted more than thirty times to cross the border between Mexico and the United States to achieve the American dream. He became the best vine grafting expert in the world and returned to Mexico to help the people of Lake Chapala, becoming a reference and a success story of migration. Every day, many migrants embark on a journey very similar to the one Serapio took, a journey in which they risk the most precious thing, their very existence. We are all descendants of someone who set out walking in search of a new life.
