Hi Glorpy, after reading your story, I immediately have a resonate with you and also the people in Kawakatawk. Immigration is one thing that Grizz, Ice and I have experienced when we are still babies. As animals, we don’t have a warm home or to be specific, a shelter as human beings. We needed to worry about if we can have food to eat in the next meal. We sometimes had no place to stay when it was raining or snowing. Therefore, when we were small, we three had the dream to go to Japan. In our eyes, that was a place where we can have a good life. However, it was too difficult for us to go there. Therefore, I can totally understand that why many people may become illegal immigrants. I believe that for most of them, they just want to have a stable and warm life and place. Also, I believe that no on is willing to go to another country that they are not familiar with. The most important reason is that they could not live a good life in their own country.
I am not finding an excuse for those illegal immigrants but telling what is my opinion and also my experience. In fact, we three brothers really experienced a harsh life when we tried to find a place to live. It is like that people move to another place and rent a house in local place. We are animals and we don’t be accepted by many people. We don’t have enough time to rent a big and comfortable house in the city or even in the rural area. We don’t be accepted by most companies since animals are not thought to work as human beings. I think for people in Kawakatawk or third-world country other illegal immigrants, they should face some similar problems as us. Life is so difficult for us and them to go on. However, I want to say that no matter what the life is like, everyone is trying their best to go on with it and even make it better. So do those illegal immigrants. The thing that they have done wrongly should be immigrate illegally. Yes. They don’t get the official permission from the country they are moving to. This is not a problem that there is one more immigrants in this nation but a problem that would be related to issues such as social stability, working opportunity, public space and welfares, management of the government and so on.
I am totally touched by your sentence that “although illegal immigration causes problems with jobs, there should be an easier and quicker way for those who want to come to the United States to get here legally, as long as their intentions are valid and clear”. It is the importance, the essence, the attitude, and also suggestion for the issue of illegal immigrants. I don’t think that when illegal immigrants become a social problem, the government should simply deal with in the most direct while cruel way. We are all living lives, we are sharing the wishes to have a warm home and house and do what we want to do to. Human beings and animals all have the rights to struggle for a better life. Also, they have the responsibility to maintain the stability of society and the life of others. I want to convey my attitude towards this issue that illegal immigrants should not be encouraged while at the same time, they should not be regarded as the “cancer” of the society. Instead, it should be regarded as the reminder that there is still a long way to go to protect all people and animals.
