Senator Letter #31

Dear Senator:

My name is Maricela Mendez and I attend school at Frank Borman Middle School. I’m writing this letter for two reasons, number 1 reason is because I want a new law to be made and that is for immigrants to have a chance to live here and to make there lives better. Immigrants deserve the chance to make there lives better ,so I think that you and the other senators of this state should make that a reality. The second reason why I am writing this letter is because I want to convince you that immigrants truly make this country a better place to live in .Please consider letting immigrants stay here!

Prices of milk and other dairy products are going up. Why is this happening? The reason is this: immigrants are being fired and kicked out of this country, so now there is no one that wants to do the work that was being done by the immigrants .If you went to a farm any where here in America and you saw all the employees then you would see that a great majority of them are Mexicans, since the illegal immigrants have to go back to Mexico, there is no one that wants to do the work that the Mexicans were doing. So now the number of employees at farms are going down causing prices of milk and other dairy products to go up. Another reason why the price of milk is going up is because Americans working at a farm demand more money an hour then the immigrants did.
Immigrants come here for life changing experience so they are willing to do the work that most people aren't willing to do. Immigrants are hard workers and they can handle a lot of pressure, we need more people like that here in America.

The border blocking Mexico from America is getting bigger and bigger every year, just to keep Mexicans out of this country .In my opinion the border should be getting smaller. Actually there shouldn't even be a border. America and Mexico should get along .It seems like America is racist against Mexico because the government doesn't want Mexicans to come here. Mexicans truly do make this country a much better place. So in my opinion there shouldn't even be a border. I hope that in the future Mexico and America can get along without any complaints, so then people can choose to live here or Mexico without needing papers or anything like that.

Families come to America for many reasons; one of the main reasons is that America is considered to
be a freedom country. They come here to make their lives better because maybe in Mexico their lifestyle isn't as good as they want it to be. Mexicans are willing to learn English just so they can get a job to support their family. Remember Mexicans are people just like us so they deserve the right to have a chance, so they could stay here and work a job to support their family. Remember Mexicans are good people and they are hard workers.


Thank you, for taking time out of your day to read this letter. I hope I have changed your mind about how you think about immigrants. Please consider letting immigrants stay here, they truly do make this country a much better place. All I am asking is for this law to be made. I hope that this letter makes a difference in this community. I really appreciate that you took the time to read my letter.

Sincerely:



Maricela Mendez
