The big problem in immigration is we dont see the immigrants as us, even though generations past, most of us were exactly in their place. There were no documents, no strict border enforcement for most of Americas history.
These college students – they have names, Karina, Erika, Silvia, Bryant and Ruben – see themselves as Americans.
