For the past three years, immigrants and immigrant-supporters have been meeting in a yearly march to support an immigration reform. It started in the year 2006, when many immigrants from all over the world decided to boycott for a day in order to make their voices heard. Since its beginning, I have supported this march. I believe it is the best way to make our voices heard. Coming from an immigrant family, I know some of the challenges that many of us face, from education, to well- paying jobs, and even health. Many students are basically forced to leave school, not because they are bad students, but because they are not able to get any financial aid due to their status. There are thousands of students that have the desire to attend college, but without any help, it is just impossible. The few of them that do decide to stick with school have to work two to three jobs to pay for their tuition, but without a legal status, upon graduation, it will be pointless. Even if they have a degree in hand, it is impossible for them to get a job without a social security number. The health of many immigrants seems to be affected, because without good jobs that offer health insurance, they cannot afford to see a doctor. It seems like it is all a cycle, everything going back to the fact that people are dehumanized by considering them “illegal aliens”. Boycotting is a good way to make our voices heard. Throughout history, we have seen this occur over and over. Residing people in the United Sates have been able to voice their want and needs. It is only fair that we do so as well. The majority of the population of this country is made up of immigrants. In fact, this country was built from immigration. Just like today, our founding fathers had to stand up for what they believe in and had to overrule their rulers, Great Britain. The so called “American Dream” is to be able to work, live comfortably, and most importantly, be free. If it takes thousands of people to march and miss work for a day, I completely support it, because it is the only way we can represent ourselves and actually make a difference to better our society as a whole.
