I read in the New York Times that currently in Miami four students who attended Miami Dade College led a march in Washington D.C. "Three of the four were brought to this country illegally as children. Like thousands of other young people, they bear no blame for their status, and they are frustrated that their hard work and bright promise lead to a brick wall." I believe that it is very unfair for students and children who were brought to America to be deported when they did not choose to come here. They're effort and good intentions in the United States does not get noticed.
Immigrants who come here for a better life should not be punished or thought as criminals only because they're immigrants. Foreigners are people and Immigrants are very important especially , because of the economy. “We are risking our future because our president is unbearable,” said by Felipe Matos,who was one of the immigrant students. Felipe declared this because his own country does not offer or have what America has. America is an overload of opportunities and privileges. I believe all deserve a chance to live a better life. Undocumented aliens should only be deported if they commit crimes, do not go to school or put some type of effort in this country.
Much improved! I was just reading about this quandry in the editorial pages of today's Inquirer. Here's what one frustrated fellow wrote:

Re: "Pressure is on N.J. tuition proposal," Monday:
I'd like to tell Shai Goldstein of the New Jersey Immigration Policy Network that I am a tax-paying U.S. citizen born in Philadelphia and living in New Jersey the last 20 years, and I paid my children's tuition, in-state and out-of-state. I do not understand how someone illegal can be granted any rights at all.
Webster's dictionary defines illegal as "not according to or authorized by law." If I break a law, I am punished, not rewarded. My property taxes are already overburdened by the portion for schools. Now New Jersey is telling me I must pay tuition for illegals. What's next?

ReplyDeleteAs for your post, you a good point about children being brought over like that. Perhaps they should put in some sort of amnesty for children who are brought while they are too young to understand what is going on, but then spend however many years in the US education system. But this would be a hard thing to go about...
