Chris has said:

My dad is a Cuban refugee. Lots of my family have told me stories about how they wept when they boarded American planes in the 60s and [stewardesses] gave them warm bottles of milk for their babies. They say they’d never known such kindness. My dad is a nuclear engineer now. #migrants
