Introduction: Immigrant’s Right And Immigration Reform

Many social justice related issues are found within society. I am going to focus my blog on Immigration. Specifically, I’d like to focus on the rights of immigrants while relating it back to the overall immigration system. Immigrants play a huge role in the building of the United States of America. As the daughter of immigrants, I’ve watched the struggle of becoming an American citizen. There is a long law process behind. People discriminate against you for your lack of English, status, and skin color. Through it all my parents taught me to preserve and value this country. They taught me that for anything you have to always work hard. They carry a similar mindset of other immigrants. People often forget the reasons people choose to leave their home. For my parents it was war and poverty. A war that led to a lot of damage for the country El Salvador. It’s just one of the few countries that people escape for a better reality. As anyone in this country, people want a bright future. Immigrants establish themselves here. They start to raise a family, only to be ripped apart from them. It is true that not every immigrant can be accessed a free entrance to the country. Citizens’ economic security and safety should always be a priority. However, this an ongoing issue that’s been going on for decades. It needs to be resolved but not in an inhuman way. People are detained and placed in awful living circumstances. Children sleeping in cages. A person being from a different country does not stop them from being a human being. Stories like these should not be left unnoticed but recognized through by our government. Law enforcement needs to understand that it is not a crime to want a better life for your family.
