Immigration is nothing new to the United States, it's an issue that has been around since before our country was founded. Immigration has helped the growth of our country with people coming from different parts of the world. For example Asia, South and Central America, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean brought new ideas and cultures with them to our country. In my personal experience I have interacted with people from around the world, and it's amazing how some cultures are different and other are so similar. But, this is not the issue, the debate is whether to deport all illegal immigrants or legalize them. There are some points to take in consideration like, racism, economics, education, national security, and families.
I know it's hard to believe that still in the 21st century we still have issues with racism, but it's harder to believe that those being racist are the ones in charge of our country. According to the website thinkprogress.org, a member of the House of Representatives who decided to stay anonymous said "Part of it, I think " and I hate to say this, because these are my people " but I hate to say it, but it's racial, " It is clear that there are people against legalizing illegal immigrants but when one of the factors is that those people are racist makes it pathetic, yes it's pathetic how some of our representatives base their decisions on the race or the color of the person. Does it really matter if it's Asian, Mexican or African? What's the difference? We are all equal and deserve the chance to look for our happiness to fight for our dreams, and that is why most immigrants come to this country. You think it's easy to leave your country where you have lived all your life? To leave friends and family? It's a sacrifice that we all immigrants make and I think it should be rewarded.
Many families migrate to our country looking for better life and better opportunities.
