"Flesh and blood actors are migrant workers… we travel all over the world, we construct stories, we build lives that cannot be divided. As Mexican, Latin-American migrant worker and as a human being I am against any kind of wall that wants to separate us," Bernal said amid cheers from the Hollywood audience.
