Illegal Immigrant Protest in Arizona
Thousands of people across the country protested Friday against legislation cracking down on illegal immigrants, with demonstrators in Phoenix, Los Angeles, California, and Atlanta, Georgia, staging school walkouts, marches and work stoppages. Congress is considering bills that would make it a felony to be illegally in the United States, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The proposals have angered many Hispanics. The people who protested, were there for the American Dream. A woman who was there said her husband, a hard working man in the U.S., is an illegal immigrant. If they took him away, hers' and her childrens' life would be ruined. That day, there was also a March in Millwaukee, an estimated 10,000 people marched against this bill. I think that there should be some regulations about illegal immigrants, but I don't want it to get to the extreme where it tears apart families. Everyone should have an equal chance for a good life.
