Letter: Immigrants, not aliens

Many talk about immigration like if it was a disease, but in reality it's not. The immigrants that come from another country don't come here to take your stuff; they come here to find a better way of life. Where they come from they don't find the opportunities they have here. Some of them come to find a better education for themselves or their children. They are not aliens. They don't abduct you or brainwash you; they simply come and do the jobs that people find too challenging to do. They have suffered a lot of discrimination and low wages but it doesn't bother them.

The reformation of immigration policy is the right thing to do. That way many immigrants can come out from the shadows and show America that they came to do good in the United States.
