First it was the Jews who were discriminated by the Americans, then it was the Black community and now its Latinos. Why?, ” I ask that question to myself ” There are many college students graduating right now with no where to go. I know, they can just go back to there countries, but what if the only country they know is U.S.A. The media has created this image of lazzy Latinos, but they just cover the bad stories. Our parents came to this country because it was the ” Land of Opportunity”, but they are not giving us a chance to show the world our potential. They say, ” A mind is terrible thing to waste.”But whose mind are they referring to a white upper-class or a brown skin lower-class. There are many immigrant students waiting for that opportunity to make there dream come true of graduating from college and working in what there passionate about. I mean just because they are immigrants doesn’t mean they don’t have dreams or a desire to be someone in life. The English speaking channels hardly ever cover stories about us unless its someone who did a crime. They never inform people that we are also people just like any U.S. citizen. The English speaking channels talk about how we are taking away jobs from U.S citizens, but they don’t mentioned when a latino has being brutally beaten up from a racist group of people. It makes me laugh sometimes when news channels or a newspaper talk about all the jobs immigrants are taken away from U.S. citizens, but most of the time citizens or reidents would not take those jobs because they are the less paid and have no benefits. You will never see an immigrant getting a job as a teacher, so how is it that we are taking away the jobs from an American.
What’s so ironic about the U.S. and there representatives is that they are all European descendents, they also come from immigrants. Technically they are the first immigrants to this country. I see the President and everyone sitting in the white house deciding the future of many families and taking them apart just because they are immigrants. I mean most of them like most Americans come from other countries all over the world, they can probably be 3rd, 4th, or 8th generation, but they couldn’t be here if there great parents wouldn’t have migrated to the this country. They could’ve also being treated as criminals like they like to call illegal people. I believe a criminal is one who kills, but a men or women who work all day to give a better education to there son or daughter does that make them criminals? .
