“The episode was about friendship and inclusion, but also touched on the serious issues of deportation,” the alum wrote. “I am a first generation American and my parents have migrated from Mexico. I am forever grateful for their sacrifice… I am by the side of beautiful, rich and diverse immigrant communities from around the world.
In the episode, Dorothy, played by actress Bee Arthur, takes the young student played by Lopez under her wings and helps write the essay for the contest.
Lopez’s character wins the contest, but is later detained by immigration officers as his character is illegally located in the country.
“Immigration is what makes America beautiful… I have it all the time,” continued Lopez. “It’s indisputable. Choose kindness, compassion, humanity. We must be open to listening to everyone’s stories and journeys. God’s blessing.”
