Do you have personal experience or expertise about undocumented immigrants?

> personal experience

I believe so, but was hard to ask as they (plural) were begging on the street, some with hand-made signs, and none spoke good English or German.

Now, my ex, she definitely had personal experience, she drove to the Calais Jungle to distribute donated supplies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calais_Jungle

I admire your ex (if that's ok to say! :) ).

I'm also careful to presume someone is homeless, undocumented, etc. Also, not my business (that is, it is my responsibility to help but their personal lives aren't my business).

She and I are still friends; she wanted to focus on activism rather than romance.

What is more activism than love itself? Anyway, not my business! I will awkardly change the subject now ...
