In the last two weeks, we've heard the horrific stories circling this country regarding deportation. Mothers, sons, daughters, fathers, people who aren't causing any damage to society are being rounded up by ICE and being deported.

Under Trump's administration, the number has skyrocketed. Right now more than 700 people have been detained. What is happening to this country? Why are people so cruel? The U.S. uses the excuse of that they are only going to be deporting people who have some sort of criminal record, but that is complete bullshit. ICE is arresting and deporting people who have been in this country for years, people who have families, and whom have never committed a crime.

Is this country truly happy separating families, taking mothers away from their children? I just can't seem to wrap my head around why people would think this is okay. It just doesn't make any sense to me. But yet these immigration raids keep occurring. They are purposefully attacking the Latino community and are arresting people for no reason. Some of these people include people who are under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Students who came to this country when they were very young, and are legally allowed to be in this country. These students are here to go to school and to work, yet this country still see's them as some kind of a threat.

Immigration raids are terrible and they are scaring people . People are fearing for their lives, fearing for their children's lives, fearing for their future. Immigrants don't come to this country to mess it up, they come here to make it better. Because let's remember without immigrants, this country would not exist. We also need to ask ourselves, what is going on in their countries of origin that make them want to leave and come to the U.S.? Instead of forcing these people to leave, this country should be thankful for the fact that because of them, our country is still standing. Because immigrants do the work that others refuse to do.
