Day one : Allow me to reintroduce myself.

I came to this country at the age of 5. I was born and raised in Quevedo, Ecuador..

and migrated to this country since my father lived here and wanted me ,my sister, and mom to be with him.. to cut the story short... It has not been all that easy.. As immigrants in this new country I seen my parents struggle from trying to find a steady job to finding a home for me and my sister to live in . We faced difficult economic times but found support from other family members that had lived here. Now, that I live in better conditions then before I can't help but wonder that there are many immigrants out there struggling each day to be able to provide a better home to their families.. People don't realize the realize the hardships these people go through each day
they just think of them as "aliens" trying to take their job..Yet, their wrong, immigrants have rights too you know! through my blog, I want people to understand the importance the immigrants have in this nation and the importance it is to stop discrimination against immigrants.After all, the first settlers that ever reach America were immigrants.. They came here for freedom and a better life and that exactly what immigrants want too. After all
America does stand for justice,liberty, and freedom for all.
