Immigration: The Fear and Pain to get to the American Dream

You come up and say hi politely

But in your mind, you're probably thinking

"Why is this illegal in our country?"

Because people like us come to thrive

Our parents, 

Grandparents,

And great granparents bring us here

To help us live a better life

With amazing education systems,

Successful careers, 

Good-paynig jobs,

And a ton of opportunites.

Most people have no clue how much some people suffer

Coming over to this country isn't easy.

The sleepless nights, and heat of the deserts.

The fear of dying halfway of disease or torture.

People call this the home of the free,

But others call it a cage of gold

Even with a good job and money,

People live in fear of being judged,

Called Names,

Caught,

Deported,

They can't enjoy anything.

IMMIGRATION CANNOT BE IGNORED.
