Immigrants

I understand that I am probably just completely oblivious to the whole idea of illegal immigrants, but I still do not know why as Americans we make it such a big deal. I’ll never completely understand why we think it is okay to shot people trying to cross the border. People from other countries come here in hopes to change their future, and it is not fair to completely raise the wall because of a few terrorist acts. Yes I do agree that people should gain citizenship, but I fell like sometimes Americans look down on people from other nationalities and that is not fair. My aunt is from Peru, and she loves it here because of the freedom that she has, and she talks about how she would like for all of her siblings to live in America with her, but she said there is not a chance because of how hard the test is, and how little time they would have to prepare for it. She also talked about a time while she was out with her family eating dinner, how hostile the waiter was all because she did not understand her. She understood his frustration, but just wished that he could have taken care of it a better way. She was also upset because she said when Americans come to tour in Peru, they just assume that everyone there should know English, and they do not respect them as their own nation. And we talked about this in class with the French people.
