About on line PE, and a reading reflection for school

School Reflection

Today I read an article about Jose Antonio Vargas, an undocumented man from the Philippines. After his parents split due to his dad's wandering eye making him unable to find work, his grandparents Lolo and Lola (who lived in the United States) started sending money to Jose's mom. Soon, His grandparents get a fake passport and a coyote for Jose to come to America with. He has many challenges in life, such as learning English and all of our idioms. He hears a lot of negative stereotypes about illegal immigrants and sets off to prove them wrong by contributing to society. Still, as he grows into adulthood, his fear of being found out increases, and he never dates or goes on trips (including an all expense free trip to Switzerland). He finally gets fed up and posts his story in the New York times.

Reyna and Jose both came (or were brought) to the United States for opportunities. They also have goals of proving some form of worth to someone. For Reyna, it was proving her worth to her dad, and for Jose, it was proving he was a good part of society to the United State's government. Both people also made some form of a documentary to share their stories.

Up to a few years ago, I didn't realize the struggles undocumented immigrants face, even after coming to America. I knew that they could be deported, but I had no idea that they couldn't get a driver's license. I learned about these problems in both The Distance Between Us and the article I just read. Both of these documents shed light on how hard it is to be an immigrant in the United States of America. I think the government needs to legalize and or deport more people. The more documented immigrants the better.
