The reading for today (Friday's) class was about Mexican immigrants and how it is such a hard adjustment as a family to immigrate to the United States. My great-grandparents immigrated from Mexico to California for the same reasons that these families did- to give their children a step up in life. Some people don't have very nice things to say about Mexican immigrants, but I think that if they were to know the personal hardships of leaving their families in Mexico JUST to help their kids get ahead, more people would shut their mouth.
I hope that from reading this, we will be slow to judging and we will try to learn the reasons why before we make our own assumptions.
