Immigration

            During class we watched many Ted Talk videos where illegal immigrants showed their point of view about it. It broke my heart to see the reality: millions of aliens where being ignored or mistreated daily. They are afraid to live their lives like normal people because of the consequences it can have on their migratory status. Immigration specifically in the Dominican Republic and in the United States is extremely messed up. I understand that both countries have extreme policies in coordination with illegal immigration. I believe that if you travel to another country illegally than you should clearly be deported. Of course there should be exceptions for this rule, for example if you have your daughter or mother but this can be obtained legally. I think the ideal plan would be to halt immigration for a short period of time during which you can find out exactly who is living in your country. In this time we identify the illegal aliens and analyze whether or not we should deport them or legalize them. It gives us time to look at our laws and change our policies if necessary in order to allow for a balanced immigration of new citizens. There are many illegal immigrants who have made a life in your country and that have a family, it is time we recognize them. I sincerely believe it is essential for the importance of the safety of all of our citizens and our nation. We need to have a higher education level and abilities for self-support to be checked more thoroughly and more often during a comprehensive health screening. We have to think of our nation's future, the future of our people, our children but most importantly the future success of our countries American and the Dominican Republic.
