As we talk about Hispanic Heritage Month, it is appropriate to discuss the issues regarding Immigration Laws and the Hispanic Community.
As we talk about hispanic heritage month i think it is appropriate to discuss the issues with Hispanic’s immigrating. Around 26 percent of Americans are immigrants (85 to 100 million Americans). A large percentage of those immigrants are Hispanic. A lot of these individuals may have a problem with coming to America due to money, bordering and laws. As an immigrant you have the right to protection, defending yourself, filing lawsuits, working and getting paid, going to school, owning a house/apartment, and many other things.
Not all countries are the same though. Some countries might be more strict with immigrants. Right now, the biggest issues are with borders. People from other countries try to invade other countries while others try to immigrate. Violence and arguments might start too.
Some might have a hard time coming to another country such as America due to health issues. A lot of people from countries such as Haiti, Mexico, and China are having a difficult time coming to America. Hopefully we can make it much easier and affordable for people to come here or immigrate to another country! Some ways we can make it easier are to donate money, to have more transportation and to make it cost less to live here!
