Opportunity View #5

In the book the Distance Between Us  the main character is a girl named Reyna. She has had a tough life in Mexico and is looking for something better. When her dad comes back and takes her to the United States she is able to have opportunities that she never dreamed of. The United States changed her life allowed her to get an education and become a writer. Shouldn't this be the right of every human, even if they aren't lucky enough to be born in the United States. This issue has divided our country for a long time because of all the differing opinions on the topic. Books like this show people how they aren't just "worthless immigrants." That all they want is the same opportunities as every citizen of the United States.

I believe that these immigrants should have a legal opportunity to become citizens of our country and that they should be provided with the same rights as the United States citizens. These immigrants know that they can find a better life here and should we really blame them for wanting what every person wants. So we shouldn't treat people who are looking for equal opportunity and safety like criminals in this country.

I do not think that we should have open borders in our country and should let in all immigrants. I think that our government should give thought to this problem and find a solution that can benefit the American people and Immigrants as well.
