Cuban actress Aly Sánchez: "I hope we don't rejoice in the misfortunes of others, because we all once struggled to get papers in this country."

Cuban actress Aly Sánchez personally thanked one of her fans who attended one of her shows after immigrating to the United States across the border. The video fragment was shared on UnMartitoDurako's Instagram.

"Thank you for being here, for taking the time, for all the messages. You are the voice of those who have crossed so many borders..." the artist expressed from the stage.

Aly stated that everything that's happening to migrants in the United States is very unfortunate, and noted that many families in South Florida have relatives who have been unable to regularize their immigration status.

"I believe that every family in Miami has a relative who is an I-220A, or someone who hasn't been able to obtain legal status in this country. I hope we can better choose our politicians who understand us, and we can help each other. I hope we don't rejoice in the misfortune of others because we were all once immigrants, and we all once struggled to obtain legal status in this country," Sánchez concluded.

Aly's words were very well received by dozens of Cuban and Hispanic users in general, who were moved by the actress's sincerity.

"Eternal thanks, Aly, you made me cry, thank you so much." "Great, I always say it, this text has to go viral because we need to reflect." "And for that big heart, those feelings, and the great human being that you are, God blesses you so much. You are the leader of an entire community. You are the best, thank you." "I wish more artists had the courage to speak out about this. It's very sad what's happening not only to many Cubans, but to Latinos in general," are some of the comments read online.

Sánchez also shared the video clip on her Instagram profile, where she also reflected at the bottom of the post on the most recent events in the United States, just as protests against mass deportations are taking place across the country this weekend.

"At what point did we change as a community? How did we stop caring and helping each of our brothers and sisters who arrive?" he asked.

For the television host, it's hard to understand how some people can be "happy" that a working mother is being deported, or simply "put ICE numbers to snitch on and deport someone you don't like."

"At what point did our Cuban politicians, who so proudly represent us, begin to support or do nothing against those they don't harm? At what point did the snitching and hatred of a few divide us, one of the most united and hardworking communities in this country? It's time to unite; any politician who doesn't respond to our interests doesn't deserve to be reelected," he concluded.
