“America is a place where we can all go and achieve the American dream. Provide for our families and progress. Work and that’s what it is.»

“We are all migrants”

Johnathan Shaw believes, “There is nothing more American than an immigrant. We are all migrants. Except for a small group of indigenous people who have always lived here.”

Based on his work, on his experience as a citizen, Shaw states that what has been proposed and is being enacted in Florida goes against the principles of this nation.

“Florida is killing the American dream”

“Thinking about it the way you’re asking me, Florida is killing the American dream. That is what is happening, because our history as a country is a history of immigrants.”

Shaw believes the Statue of Liberty in New York City symbolizes the United States. It invites immigrants into the country to pursue their dreams. «That’s why I don’t agree, because it’s not an American spirit.»
