Dear Donald Trump
Dear Donald Trump,
Today I stand for what is right in this world and sure, everyone has their own opinions and I’m not writing this to tell you what’s right and wrong assuming you already know but according to recent news reports you need a little help with the understanding ,but again we all have our own opinions and sometimes not everyone’s are valued.
I don’t want your sympathy I just want to be heard clearly. Now everyone here in the U.S.A isn’t as well off as you were and still are. You were born into wealth and granted citizenship ,not everyone has that luxury of being accepted in the world as well as you did. I’ll be speaking for all that had to immigrate here and work hard throughout their whole life to be where they are today and that most certainly does not apply to you.
Instead of introducing myself today let me introduce my father, Alberto. Now I know what you’re thinking, another sappy story about family. Let’s just make it short and not so much sweet unless you get a kick out of this and I wouldn’t see why you’re already trying to strip half the population from their stable lives that they worked years for. But moving on my father came here in a time period of three days he said they were the hardest days of his life he laughed when I asked him about this topic because he didn’t want me to think badly of him since he came undocumented. My father came with one other person and crossed El Rio Grande, about ninety percent of undocumented immigrants here in the U.S crossed El Rio Grande. He left everyone except his cousin in Mexico making this huge decision to better his future with more possibilities. Over this three day time period he slept on the cold ground, ate about anything that was edible including snakes and rabbits, and I quote”PLayed Tom and Jerry with La Migra”. When My father arrived it gave him a huge sense of relief because he knew that here he could have a life with more opportunities and possibilities. It took him approximately nine years for my dad to get his papers.
Today he has four children: two girls and two boys. I’m the third but first girl. He has his own small business and works for a company.
To me that just sounds like another person in this world trying to make a living. Anywhere in their do you hear criminal,rapist or drug trafficker as you suggested in your speech. You can’t blame a whole race for the faults of a few people. Without Immigrants what will happen to the U.S.A’s economy face it you need us. You can’t kick us out and right now you’re running for president how ridiculous is that a show host for the apprentice. Puting the united states in the hands of Mr.Hollywood. I’m not stating the factors that no one has took into initiative
You're getting the best from immigrants whether you believe it or not. You have a different story and so does everyone else my father’s is just one of many. You should get into our working boots and try to see it from our point of view before you basically start making threats. PLease read this and understand where I’m coming from because I’m just really trying to help you realize the mistakes you are making so you can accept them and change them.
~Sincerely L.
