Like millions of people living in the United States, Abigail Solorzano’s parents came to the country illegally. Crossing the southern border after a long journey from Nicaragua more than three decades ago, they surrendered to the authorities, claimed asylum and raised their daughter in their new home in the Miami suburbs. Now, Abigail is one of a growing number of Latinos who think people like her parents should be turned away. “You don’t know their background,” she says, of the millions of illegal migrants who have arrived in the US under the Biden administration. “We don’t know what they’re doing. It’s scary.” “My parents did come illegally. But they went through the process when they were here. They got caught, [and] they went through the proper steps to become legalised.” The Telegraph met Abigail at the Alpha and Omega megachurch in Florida – a vast complex more similar to a concert venue than a traditional place of worship, where thousands of Latinos meet each Sunday.
