I thought that Sonia Nazario's presentation was truly amazing. Sonia Nazario is a passionate journalist and she began studying on the journey of Latin Americans to the United States. I was blown away when she said that 4 in 10 people are foreign born in Los Angeles and the State of California has over 11 million illegal immigrants. After the presentation, I thought about the problems of immigration, and believe that the United States should support Central American countries economic problems.
The lecture opened up my eyes to the devastating lives that thousands of kids live everyday, and that we should not take our lifestyle for granted. I think that it is great that Sonia Nazario is standing up for what she believes in and creating awarness about illegal immigration and the struggles of the poor kids involved.
I agree that we should not take our lives for granted. We are very lucky to be at such an amazing school, amongst other things. There are so many countries with horrible politics and struggles. I think America should assist as much as possible but it's also the country's job to pull themselves up from their bootstraps. As an affluent country, America can send aid and workers but it is important that other countries learn how to help themselves and better their people and lifestyles as a whole.
