Immigration

Hello I am a high school student at Potomac Falls High School and my history teacher has asked my class to pick a theme to talk about for this blog and I chose Immigration. I chose immigration because I have seen how its impact the U.S, also immigration has played a big role in U.S history from the settlers coming to the U.S to people coming from different parts of the world. People come to the U.S for better opportunities and to give their children a better future, that maybe they can't have in there country. Immigration plays a part in modern America and is a big topic I think because of candidate Donald Trump and what he thinks of illegal immigrants. In the article I chose it talks about how Donald Trump wants to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants from coming to the U.S. Author Miriam Valverde talks about how Trump plans to build his wall and how he wants Mexico to pay for it. She also talks about how Trump doesn't want people to send money to there families in there counties if there illegal immigrants. I disagree with Trumps idea because building a wall won't keep immigrants out, also he wants to deport them back to there counties. I disagree with that because illegal Immigrates do a lot of work for the U.S so he will lose a lot of workers. I think its not affair that they cant send money to there families because some illegal immigrants come to the U.S to make more money so that they can send to there families, some parents come and leave there children in there country so that they can send them money so that they have what they need.
