We are now approaching the halfway mark of the year 2019, and we continue with the similar problems as before. Day by day, people are getting deported to their home country or held against their will in our country. Texas being one of the few border states, our name tends to come up alot when border news in mentioned. It does suck.
For many years, children are being torn apart from their families. Parents are getting deported only leaving their kids in the hands of border patrol. Border patrol’s name is constantly being thrown into the dirt when a lot of them are only trying to do their jobs.
Ever since Trump was sworn into presidency, he has enforced sending illegal immigrants back pretty harshly and frequently. He continues to do immigration sweeps throughout the country, especially the border states such as California, New Mexico and Texas. You would think it would be strictly the ones who are doing wrong or affecting how America is being ran but no, it is any and everyone. This minority group is living their life in constant fear, even if they are not the ones who are illegal. Their family members could be undocumented or even their friends.
I know a few people being affected with these constant sweeps from ICE. It is unfair and many deserve justice they do not get. Some close friends of mine have had their parents deported and fined for bringing them here to expand on a better life for them.
Many people are dying unnoticed at the fault of Americans who see them as horrible people. It is a huge issue and we must help stop the discrimination.
This is a response to classmate tellezsamm in blog post, Who is Texas, 2019. I am in complete agreement with the argument made. Time is going by and people continue to suffer by our broken immigration system. Families continue to be separated. People continue to live in fear and in the shadows. Even though people were being deported before Trump, I do believe that his racist rhetoric has made certain groups feel more like targets. There is no way to know what some of these people are going through because it is highly unlikely that they report anything that is done to them out of fear of deportation. There are no easy solutions. Our immigration system is broken due to decades of neglect. The only solution is to reform the system so that foreign-born workers can enter and work legally.
