On one occasion, they received a rent increase of $35. At the time, they didn\u2019t see it as a bad thing, but shortly after, they raised their rent by another $50.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After what happened, Mrs. Juana&#039;s husband questioned the landlord why he had raised the rent so much, to which he replied in English: &quot;If you don&#039;t like it, go back to your Mexico.&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This comment was unnecessary, both felt discriminated against and excluded, since they both work to earn a salary, pay for their services to live, and feel part of the country because they do what corresponds to them as citizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24858\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24858\" style=\"width: 635px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24858\" src=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Farmer at Tule Lake\" width=\"635\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-696x464.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Tulelake-juana-1068x712.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24858\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A farmer in Tule Lake talks about the acts of discrimination she has experienced, as she feels vulnerable to the frequent comments of former President Donald Trump, who on several occasions, especially during election campaigns, has referred to migrants as criminals. Photo: Manuel Ortiz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe as citizens feel part of this, we are here to make this nation grow by working and fighting,\u201d Juana stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 16 years he has been working, he has only seen three Americans trying to work in the fields; however, \u201cthey don\u2019t last, they can\u2019t stand working in the fields\u201d and it is the migrants who produce the food that many consume and that few want to harvest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juana says that it is very easy to open the refrigerator and grab the fruit or vegetables to eat, but they do not appreciate the great work that is behind it all, as it is hours under the sun, a lot of time for said foods to grow, care for them and cultivate them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, the day laborers constantly face excessive fatigue, bone pain, fever, humidity, colds and much more, but despite this, the farmers are dedicated to their work, they do it with love and dedication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The work in the fields is very hard and many people have the privilege of having more opportunities, so Mrs. Juana asks her son to study and prepare himself so that he does not have to suffer from the hard work that the fields entail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGet ready, because you have all the rights and benefits here; get ready because we are just like a little board that is pushing you forward, because that is why we have come to fight, to get ahead and be a blessing to others, and mainly to help our children get ahead,\u201d concluded Mrs. Juana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13209 size-thumbnail td-animation-stack-type0-2\"
