UMA graduate, Miguel, is currently searching for a job and has been actively interviewing. In fact, he has two interviews scheduled for later this week. Miguel is also very active on social media and prides himself on having a large volume of likes and followers. In order to obtain more followers, he often follows people he doesn’t know. Recently, Miguel has been following several individuals who have extreme anti-immigration views and often promote violence. Miguel likes these posts.
