Immigrants Are Mistreated

By K. Yunis

Is immigration really a big deal? For many Americans it isn't. It should be. There are many families that can’t even sleep because the are scared knowing that at any minute someone could call the immigration officials on them. It is at a point were they had their hopes up for a better life for them and know people are going to take it away for them at any moment. Nobody would like that after everything it took them to get to where they are they have to to go back from where they started. It is really sad.

Immigrants actually come here for a better life. They come here sacrificing their lives to get here. People act like if they are animals that are going to harm us, but they deserve a chance for everything. We are the ones destroying the environment (like crashing down buildings). Who are the ones cleaning up after us? The immigrants do this type of work and yet they still don't complain. They want to help out, because they want a better life.They are humans and equal like every one of us. Everybody deserves a chance to be here. They actually respect our country. They come here, give us something special and what do we do in return? We just flick them away like if they don't mean anything, but they do. They are the ones actually make a difference around the world.

Yet, despite this, things are getting worse for immigrants. Last election, they faced harsh laws to limit their freedom. Now there is an immigration hot line led by Sherrif Joe; where you can report any suspected illegal immigrant. I just think that is something very important that people are doing right now. Its really sad that they are doing this to innocent people that just come here for a better life.

Immigrants are very important .We should let them come here. I say everybody deserves a chance. We could really use their help right now. We should treat them like we do with everybody else. That 's how much of a big deal about the immigrant situation is.
