I am also a legal immigrant from Peru, game here as a little girl many years ago. My father brought us here because he knew that this great country give us the opportunity for a better life if we choice to have one, or not is that is what we want, it is our choice, whereas, in Peru, if you were born to the right family than your opportunity for a better life it there for the taking, but if your are born to the wrong family the opportunity to get out of poverty it next to impossible.
I went back to Peru (as a naturalized American Citizen,) when I was a young adult, it was there that I learn to really appreciate how blessed I am to live in a great country called United State of America. It was there that made me appreciate what it is to be an America, NOT HALF AMERICAN, SUCH AS HISPANIC AMERICAN, BUT JUST SIMPLY AN AMERICAN.
I love this country and would never want it to become another Peru. This is my home, by children home, and my grandchildren home.
I don’t understand those who are here flying their flags in the USA soil, bad mouthing the USA, yet living here and partaking all the opportunity for greatness this country has to offer, and not feel that say way as I do about this great Land.
I hope I get some feed back of why legal and illegal came to the USA to live.
