The issue/problem that so many people in America have is the problem of not being an undocumented. Living in fear and always looking over their shoulders like someone is watching them all the time. This is the case with many families in the US scared that one day ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent show up to there house and take parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, etc, from there house to be deported back to their home countries some people have lives her so long that they don’t even know where they actually came from they have only known the United States of America.
“I didn’t decide to come here, and many times I wished I hadn’t come, because of all the pressure and the feeling of having no freedom at all and not being able to go anywhere or have the same future as the rest of my friends, or go to the same schools — having to work twice as hard just to go to a two-year college,” (Sara Navarro). Unlike her friend from school she didn’t have the opportunities like them she couldn’t go out like them because we was undocumented and was living in fear that ICE would catch up with her and deport her to Honduras. She didn’t have privilege to get student loans or financial aid because she is not a US citizen but thanks to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) a program that help undocumented underage kids go not to be deported and get an education after high school but the only thing is that she can not be received scholarship, Student loans, or financial aid.
The reason I picked this article was because I can relate to this people after all even in my own family I have undocumented cousin, and uncles in the same situation that they are in constant fear of being deported back to Mexico. Even though most of my family was either born a citizen or married a citizen and now how have green card and etc, before they were citizen they lived in fear of ICE they were always looking over there shoulder. They never really enjoined themselves because they were so paranoid of immigration catching them and send them back to Mexico. Even some of them still are undocumented they are still trying to become citizen so they can better themselves and further their education.
