Immigration

The big issue on how the people want a healthy homing and environment and fleeing from an unhealthy environment

Dear Next President,

Immigration the meaning or term is the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Immigration or immigrants should have a view of either citizenship without the long test or the wait on papers and how much of the time it takes. The fact that immigration is part of racial profiling others by their color for example they have called the Latino race “beaners” and “wetbacks” the history of the Latinos and Latinas being criticized about how their rapists and won't finish high school or there always doing drugs.

In fact in 1952 the Immigration and Nationality Act acted out on The Big Red Flush, what's the Big Red Flush? well it was a big event where the Americans deported hundreds and thousands of immigrants to their home country and the fact that most of the immigrants were fleeing from their home country to get away from harm in the country, like brutality in the country or the poor environment that's around them. An example would be they would have their home made from garbage or the food was poorly butchered the environment was poor but it was something they wanted to escape.

The number of immigrant rights now is about 11.4 billion that are illegal and we need to help them they pay taxes and are looking for a good job and homing environment, People of other culture came because america is the land of “Freedom” and people want freedom but keep our boundaries from the freedom and the ruling on the declaration.

I can relate to immigration taking family away from the home and watching cops taking the loved one, one of my family members had no papers, they were in the United States on and off till they did something awful, but they did it to support the family and the deportations started at a young age, they lasted about 2 years. The person tried to come back, the struggle of walking across Mexico with not much food or water and the bob wires cutting through your skin everywhere from the walls or pipes and leaving deep marks and swimming the river that rushes so fast that can pull you but that person left for good and the struggle of no support and issues is hard the history of immigration is that we all want what's best for family.

My plan is to help and to get the people who came for a better environment to get papers and to help others who were here illegally not by force but during children's years if they came from toddlers or younger who are at the border. The Dream Act needs more help to educate the children and to help them either on the way back Mexico or staying in the United States, cause the things these children go through is brutal and they want our help and we should give them our time to help the people who are holding backing on paying taxes don't realized that they are paying education for children and they are paying a great amount of help to others.

The next President should help with immigration and not judge them by the history but to help with papers and citizenship, when i talk about the history I mean that not all Latinos will be drug dealers and won't always be “gangbusters” and with Latinas they won't always be pregnant during high school years or drop out of high school they won't always drop out their successful there are some Latinos and latinas and they show their pride in their culture who are very famous like Diane Guerrero from “Orange is the New Black”, they are human just like any other person, yes they have different colored skin but doesn't mean they're different from any other person in this world and that's why i say we help the ones who need us the most so that we can be equal from all and stop the racial profiling from this country and i am not saying change an opinion cause we have our rights but to help others that would need a little care that will make a difference in their lives, thank you To the next president.

Sincerely:
