Should Immigration Laws Be Changed

Immigration laws have constantly changed throughout history. That doesn’t mean people should keep out people who want a better life for themselves, and their families as well. I strongly feel that the immigration laws should be changed, for the citizens who desperately want out of their country and their country’s dangers. Thousands of people outside of the United States have many reasons to why they want to immigrate to different countries. How the government sees immigrants is that they bring trouble to the U.S. but that usually isn’t the case. For instance, in El Salvador there are girls that are terrified to go out in the streets because of all the gang violence. I’ve been to El Salvador and the things you see there are completely different. I can’t say that I feel the same because I’ve never been in the situation when I had to fear my life. You have to put yourself in someone else’s shoes instead of saying they need to stay in their country. Because some people don't have the slightest clue of what’s going on in the other parts of the world. A 15 year old girl named Marcela was killed in the middle of the street by a gang member, and people act like it’s normal around there because they’re so used to things like this happening. Nothing this bad happens in the United States, most of the time the people who commit these crimes end up in jail or prison. The only reason why crimes like this happen in El Salvador is because they don’t have the kind of government we do in the U.S. My friends have parents that are from Mexico, and some of their family aren’t allowed to immigrate to the U.S. I don’t think it’s fair to
Hopefully later on the immigration laws will change, and it’ll help the people who want a better life, get there. Everyone deserves a chance of happiness and freedom, and who's to say it shouldn't be
