Immigrants from all over the world have moved into the United States to start a new life and use the opportunity to make it better than what it was beforehand. My parents and siblings came to America because a lot of our family had already moved there and the cash flow was not good. By 2000, everyone on my father's side of the family was living in America. Last year, in 2018, my parents had finally obtained green cards and became legal. For over 18 years they had stayed in America with the chance of them being deported from the country. I had never thought of this before and it I am extremely grateful that nothing of the sort had happened to them. The thought of my parents being deported back to their home country is sickening and I don't know what I would do without them. Now that they are finally legal, I don't have to worry, but that doesn't change the fact that what could have happened to me, is happening to children of illegal immigrants and this is terrible. These illegal immigrants that the U.S. decide to deport, actually benefit the economy, even pay taxes, and would become legal, but the immigration system is broken and doesn't give them a good chance to.
