30 Days-immigration



From this website http://www.hulu.com/watch/56908/30-days-immigration. I learned a lot from it. It talks about the life of the illegal immigrations and related policies, the United States have many immigrants, many illegal immigrants. Most of them come from Mexico and Central America. In the United States border, there are many people patrol the border to prevent people from illegally entering the United States. Today in America, one position of the immigration debate is that this illegal immigration should be allowed to be citizens, because these people can engage in low-level jobs that Americans do not want to do the work, they can afford more labor and to reduce these people's suffering and trouble. Another position is that illegal immigrations should be round up to deported because they can bring pressure and some disasters. Some people bring drugs to the United States, resulting in unnecessary trouble. In this show, there is a person called Frank George, he is a immigration from Cuba, his father brought his family when he was 7 in 1957. He wants no illegal immigration in America. He is a Minuteman, the Minutemen means that people take members of using their own hands to protect the border and country that stop as many mistakes as they can. They take guns with them that to monitor the border of Mexico and the United States on whether someone wants to illegally enter the United States, if they find, they will call police immediately. In show, there is a family called Gonzalez family, there are 7 members, they came to the United States 12 years ago illegally. They come from Mexico. At the beginning, frank insisted the idea of deporting all illegal immigrants, he visited one of the family called Gonzalez,by 30 days live with them, he changed the idea of illegal immigrants, because the mother in this family's parents died, but she cannot see them last time, so Frank decided to have a trip to Mexico, he found the family living environment is worse than the life in American, he understood the reason why they come to the United States. Armida is the biggest daughter in this family, she is currently attending a local University with hopes of eventually raising the money for tuition at the college of her choice, she can give hope to her family that solve problems. And the reform of immigration will be changed in the future. Based on what I saw in this show, I this problems with being strict with undocumented workers are doing lower-level jobs, they have no guarantee about their life, they worry about the police will deport them back to their counties. In my opinion, I think America should accept illegally immigrations and give them chance to live in America and to be a citizen. Because they can afford labor and help to build completely America. They can apply for being a American, they can by the way of their offerings, experiences, skills that help them to find a good job. I think this also is a way to reduce illegally immigrations
