Today's discussion was intense. It was a sensitive subject to some people. I was able to tell in their face and voice. There was a lot of very good points made. But for myself and in my opinion 2 students said stuff that i thought was very true and i strongly agree with. for example, one mentioned that we need to stop blaming illegal immigrants on taking American jobs. Like I said in today's discussion, its a dog eat dog world and you gotta do what you gotta do to make a living. Life is all competition and someone is going to come out on top. Yes, it's true, immigrants are getting employed much faster than Americans, but it is also true that they are doing the jobs other people dont want to do. We as Americans need to put ourselves in their shoes. They can't go to college and become a doctor, teacher, lawyer, or anything like that. Americans do. If they study in their country, they can't work over here because they dont have their license to be able to perform a task in their field here, they have to do their whole education and get a license here, and they cant redo their education because they are here illegally. If they were able to do their job here, people would trip out on how life expectancy would go up. We need to look threw the eyes of an immigrant. How many of us dont have a family member here illegally?? well, we are all immigrants. In that case, wouldn't we all get deported?? We hear talk about immigration reform over and over again but nothing is getting done about it. To me, I strongly believe that immigrants should get a chance to be here. See, if they were criminals or doing some kind of criminal activity then that's is a different story. And the truth is, whether people like it or not, we need immigrants!!! and America was founded on immigrants. so none of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your ancestor that came here better their lives... they might not of been able to, but if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be where you are today.
This song just reminded me of this for some reason lol
