Description
Can immigration ever be too easy? I talked with Maria Davis, who originally lived in Guadalajara, Mexico. She immigrated when she was 5 along with her family, moving to a cotton farm in Corsicana, Texas. Her parents thought that the education in America was better than in Mexico, and after working with the Braceros Program, they were guaranteed decent living conditions in the U.S. A lot of Maria’s struggle cane in the disconnect caused by differing languages. Maria believes that there should be tough immigration, meaning there should be laws, and there should be struggle. She thinks that things that come easily aren’t appreciated, and that refugees who immigrate to America shouldn’t expect everything to be handed out to them. In Maria’s perspective, illegal immigrants are a burden to the society and they shouldn’t expect any rights in America. Despite the conflict many refugees must flee from, Maria believes that immigration should be hard, making it more satisfying.
