What most people are talking about when it comes to immigration.

Immigration…..one of the biggest debates of all time. ” Many immigrants marched today..” is basically what you hear ,but what you don’t hear is that many lives are being destroyed today, tomorrow, yesterday, every day! There are about 12 millions of illegal immigrants in the US right now and probably they are just scared that ICE will knock at their door and take them back to their native country. You don’t see them  and not even I see them ,but what we do know is that they are there. Some people say “ freaking immigrants i have to pay my taxes and what do i get in return? nothing, but they are walking around with their food stamps and getting help by our government and i am paying for that and one thing i hate is that they are getting this things and  they are ILLEGAL!” Many people don’t see it at as bad when they say it ,but when an immigrant that also pays their taxes, also has to work up to 2 or 3 jobs, and lives everyday hiding so that ICE won’t get them, they get this weird feeling inside like as if someone has struck them with a knife and like every person that tells them that is right and that he or she is just a piece of trash, would you enjoy feeling like that? I know i wouldn’t ,but it is true even if you aren’t someone that is that mean to immigrants it is true. People like that do exist and make immigrants feel like a piece of garbage and yes, many do commit suicide by hearing “speak English because you are in America” well of course they should learn a little bit of English but even if they don’t i don’t think that they should get treated like that. I feel that if President Barack Obama legalizes immigrants then everything would be better for everyone not just the immigrants. I think that taking vacations and traveling would be at one of its top moments.

    If mexicans are illegal in this country, than every one, except the American Indians, are also illegal. Our ancestors all came here from somewhere else. Who is anyone to judge!

    Very well done, and a good point ladybaby. Even here in the USA, we have many different nationalities, cultures, and who are we to judge that one from another country cannot come and make this there home. I have a friend who is from India, has one son here with her here, and has been trying for YEARS, MANY YEARS, to get her other son over here with her, her husband died, so he alone there, and our government is still crapping around in the red tape, and India said NO for no good reason, but I feel if our government would let up a little, other countries will follow, so we can visit them, as well as them visit us. BE not enemies, be friends :) (sorry, my opinion, an issue been bugging me quite some time)
