Stranger

Ramos dismantles the xenophobic rhetoric of President Trump and those who support his harmful views on immigration. The author narrates his introduction and conclusion, giving listeners the flavor of his voice and delivery style so that when Ozzie Rodriguez takes over, his narration seems consistent. Rodriguez has a warm voice with a nasal timbre that captures Ramos's frustration with leaders who antagonize him and his loved ones while also conveying the author's personal conviction and journalistic acuity in understanding anti-immigrant stereotypes. Together, author and narrator paint a picture that deconstructs the myth of the threatening immigrant while building up a strong argument for the historical precedent of welcoming strangers to our nation.
