    The Forgotten Children

    By mimmy4794  |  Posted February 2, 2013  
     
    I am a 16 girl an my brother is 14 we came here with our parents who are employed legally by the school systems as teachers. My dad is a Math teacher and mom a special education teacher. Like the children that President Obama has given documentation to be able to work and become citizens eventually , we did not choose to come here but we had no choice. The difference between us and the other children is that we came legally and remained legal to this day. Now it looks like we are being punished for doing the right thing. I find it not fair that the President decided to give illegal children documentation and leave other millions of children who are here legally mostly children of teachers and professors, our parents pay taxes, parents serve this country and have paid thousands to be here legally and to stay legally.


    Lest have a debate about this. I am prepared to debate this and bring it up to the attention of the American Citizens.



    Is this what justice means in America?If they want to fix immigration , that's great but I believe it should be done fairly and should not reward bad behavior and punish good behavior.


    We feel like forgotten kids, who did everything right but are neglected. It hurts!!!! Please somebody open this for debate and I will stand up for what I believe its right. THIS IS WRONG.

    All these visas H1B, H4 (the visa I'm on) J1 and J2 they are need to be look at I think.
