A Story of Deportation

By R. Parra

Everyday, there are Mexicans who live in fear. Even if they do nothing wrong, they are scared of what might happen. All because they don’t have papers. There have been Mexicans who were transported back to there home town in Mexico because there are racists who never liked them. Some claimed they were invading the United States.

There have been racists who hate the Mexicans because they thought they were taking over the United States. The only reason they thought that is because the Mexicans started to come in the United States in large numbers. The Mexicans crossed the border and started to jobs there. The citizens learned that the Mexicans population in the United States was increasing and they were decreasing. They envied them and just took their hatred out on them. So they got a big idea to transport them back to there home town. It didn’t matter that Arizona was once part of Mexico.

Who transported them back to there home town? Racist citizens, of course! They found Mexicans and captured them. If they saw them shopping they took them. If they were on the streets, stores or anywhere else they caught them. If you were a child, adult, cousin, uncle, aunt, sister, brother, mom, dad, or anything else you were captured. If you look, speak, or sound like a Mexican you were caught. The racist citizens just wanted them all out of there country. So they got them out of there, even if you left your family behind.
