Immigrants

You know I try not to think about the immigration situation but everywhere you go you see it. I mean there is not one kitchen that does not have a Mexican in it, at least it seems like it to me. My family were immigrants my father came to the U.S looking for a better future for his family, and after so many years he questions if he made the right choice. I mean my father had lots of land in Mexico land that was passed down to him by my grandfather, he built my mother a house which they still own. Why did he decide to come to the U.S and bring all of us here? Well because I think he knew that there really was no future for us in Mexico. I am truly grateful to him for making the decision he did, I feel he was not thinking about himself but more about us, I mean really what would we do there? Get out of high school and get married? Uggh no thanks! I don't think many people understand why Mexicans or any immigrant for that matter want to come to the U.S.A. well mainly because its the land of opportunity, opportunity to be someone, do something with your life, other then get married and have children, and then struggle to feed your family because of the lack of jobs. I have family that are living here illegally and they work so hard to try and provide for their family. I mean my uncle, when he gets laid off and is struggling, he drives around looks for scrap metal and does little side jobs to try and provide for his family. You might say like well go look for another job, well its not that easy for an immigrant to do that. Can you imagine, times get so hard for people who are citizen and can't find a job with papers, now can you imagine how much harder it is for an immigrant? Well this is also where employers take advantage of that, a citizen will not work for no $4.00 an hr hard labor job, well an immigrant will. Why cause they know that their chances are very slim to get a job anywhere. So who is to blame here? Who should you hate here or be mad at? The immigrant or the employer? It's pretty sad cause you have people who are lazy and just don't want to work and just like to live off the system, and yet they bitch about immigrant taking their jobs, jobs they don't even care for. Whatever. This is a very hard thing for people like me who have family who they see struggling every day to make it, and then know people here hate them and want them out of this country. Wasn't some of this land taken from others?? Yea I think so.
