I’m a Peruvian immigrant, and I’m proud to be each Peruvian and American. I’ll by no means cease feeling the pleasure of turning into a U.S. citizen with out forgetting my tradition, my roots and my need to reach this nation. I comply with the occasions in my group and nation, and even with sure reservations, I received’t deny that our immigration system wants to alter for the great of the nation.
I’m not towards regulating immigration in all its varieties, however I’m towards any abuses that happen. I don’t agree with protests turning into violent and main to break to personal property or hurt to members of federal authorities, together with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or abnormal residents. If we’re going to battle for immigrants and their alternatives to stay on this nation, let’s do it, however with out resorting to violence and even interfering with federal authorities, even when we disagree with what they’re doing.
Let’s bear in mind the civil rights leaders whose aim was to not destroy the system of regulation and order, however to alter it so that every one of us, no matter our origin or shade, are handled with the identical measure of equality.
