The racist comments that Donald Trump has said about Mexicans and how he says he wants to build a wall to stop people coming to the U.S is what evokes this feeling of fear into undocumented families everyday.

Shakespearean Tragedy: a diverse and medieval genre, consisting of heroes and maidens, of the natural and the unnatural.
