Every morning they stand their waiting. Waiting for someone to come and help them but are they really only waiting for someone to come along and offer a petty job that will last only for one day. Are they waiting for the hope of a better life a better future for their kids? Sometimes even I think that will never come because of the way that they are view called talked about. Immigrants. What comes to your mind when you say that word? The usual illegal, poor, always running, Hispanics, etc. For me when I hear that word I think someone in need of help, desperate for a better future. They wake up every morning and pray that they will be look at differently less like a nobody and more like somebody that can do something. But why did they get this name?

Sometimes we don’t even know if the person we talk to every day is an immigrant so why is that when it is discovered everything changes.

They walk around like nothing is wrong but in reality they are scared that the next day they won’t be able to be here and strive for the better life that they want or long for. They are scared that just one day someone will come and just remove them from the place they now call home the place they have worked so hard to be in. So many things come up in politics about these people yes they are people but nothing is ever settled and why is it that it is so unsettling yes I understand we risk the security of our country but look at the things that happen even with the people that aren’t immigrants. I just believe that everyone deserves a chance and the ability to look for a better future than what they had.
