Senator Letter #16

Dear Senator Alexander:

Hello my name is Karla and I am writing this to explain to you a law that I would like the Congress to pass. This will make life so much better for many people.

The law that I would like for you to pass is that if an immigrant has been here for five years or more could become a resident and very soon be legal and have papers. However, the only stipulation is that they must have a clean criminal record and if the do have a record it has to be something minor. If they are poor the government could allow them to get a job and get their life on track. There is a lot of immigrants that would love to go to school and get and education. Many even want to go to college but they cant because they are illegal here.

I would like for you to pass that law because I know people in Mexico that would like to come and got to college but they can’t because they are illegal immigrants. All they just want is to have a better life for their family or they want a great future with a steady job. In Mexico you can’t get a good education as over here in the United States.

This will work because we will give all of the immigrants a chance to have a better life and if the only way they could get their papers is to stay for 5 years and they have to have a clean criminal record they would try to be good. They will not want to commit a crime. This might bring down our crime rate if hardworking people move here. It would be great if they could get their papers and go to college and you never know if an immigrant could find the cure for cancer and people are ruining the chance of that happening by not letting immigrants got to college and not give them their papers.

Thank you Mr.Senator for taking your time to read my letter. I really really hope that you take all this into consideration.

Sincerely:


Karla Olvera
