"Many people] don't care as much about, okay, these are the statistics of what percentage of people get deported actually commited any crimes. It's very, very low. [...] They care about their neighbor who is Mexican, who they like, who has a family who got deported. [...] They only care about the personal connection. Which is why I feel like books like The Broposal hopefully can start a conversation", says Sonora Reyes. Sonora joins this episode to discuss storytelling, immigration, and much more.
