    People say that Latinos are illegal because they come from mexico or a diffrent state. Latinos say that they come to the U.S because they want to work. They also said that they should not worry about the goverment,that the goverment should worry about them. A 6th grader in the video was saying that people might think there imagrants, but he was born here and grew up in the U.S that he dont like how they treat the imagrants bad, by seperating them of there family &make them leave.

  3. Latinos are affected by the imigration today because even if they are here legally they are treated differently.
    If they are illegal they are treated like criminals. They don't get to go to school and have an education, but the DREAM act takles care of that. The act makes sure that the immigrants get to have an education so they have a chane to get a job & can have better life

    Both legal and illegal latinos are affected by immigration by many ways.
    Legal lations are affected by immigration because they get seperated from there parents/familys.
    & illegal latinos are affected by immgration because they can get deported back to mexico & if they have kids there gonna leave them alone

  5. that in this video the main point in this that
    is about the 1070th law that they dont agrrew with it that thier rasist to the immigration.
    they dont give respect .they think just because their colOR and that how they talk they are immigrants but their not.
    they were born here in the u.s. which is rasist that they do that law .this video is showing that the immigrannt law is bad for other people that are not even immigrant and they are not even immgrant ,and they still have to be aware .

  7. Well illegal immigrants have to leave their family and have to find jobs that pay very cheap and for legal latinos their jobs are taken from immigrants and they can get mistaken for immigrants and people judge them.
    one of my moms friends was an immigrant she had kids because she thought if she had kids in America she could stay but the lanlord who lived there thought she was an immigrant so she called the immigration police and she was deported. Most mexican do believe this and when they get deported it is very hard for the legal kids.

    To what I have seen in this video is that people in Mexico do not like to be called immigrants. There was a 6 grader and said that he doesn’t like this one called the 1070 law which talks about immigration, that he’s scared about what’s going to happen to him and his family that one day he could be riding his bike and they would probably ask for his id or something and most likely call him an immigrant. To my personal experience immigrants are messed up in there cities or whatever part of Mexico. People are killing each other in Mexico for no reason. Also I know that people from Mexico are coming to Illinois, Chicago for more opportunities like more jobs.

  9. It is about how immigrants and non-immigrants are afected by illeagel immigrants a lot of people getting deported even people descriminated by their race.Even people who aren't illegel immigrants get deported for no reason.

  10. From what i seen in the video how are latinos both legal and illegal is that some latinos cross the border to come to america to make a new beginning in life to start fresh and make a new life to help there kids be something in life and try to make their kids lifes easier for them. Some latinos were born in america alot of them lived here for years and there still here they try to make our lifes much easier to help us reach something in our lifes

    Latinos and immigration

    Some family and a kid who doesn’t like immigration law
    And the family’s they are protesting about immigration law and the kids are protesting about the kids immigration. And and the police are getting the people when they try to cross the united states but the police see the peoples crossing the united states the police arrest them and they put them handcuff. People are saying they born in Mexico and the police say if the people born Mexico they reported back to they states were they came from. And the kid was saying that his family born in the united states but the police think they are immigrants because they skin colors and they language……

  12. In this video it talks about how immigration is being attacked by the 1070 law. Also that latinos that were born in the United States are being confused with imigrants even though they're not. If you are born here nobody should be saying that your an immigrant.They are not illegal because they have papers to prove that they were born here. People shouldn't judge if they don't know if what they are saying is true.

  13. i think it is a problem for legal people becouse they still check if you have your ducuments and you get arrested. so thats what i think. oh and also one of the problem is that people that do have document like kids they are getting called imagrants

  14. i think it affectthem by making them scared of getting deported and sepereted from ther familly wich is relly sad becese they might never see them agine or for a longn time. ithink i will be relly sad if i did not see my familly for a long time.having to be afride of what will hapend to ther children that is a problem they will have to face becuse of the new law.

  15. Latinos are affected by immigration today because there is some raices people who don't like latinos because there not legal so they think they are better than them.That's why some people these days dont't have jobs and i think this isn't fair. My family thanks to god they all have jobs but if they didnt we will be suffuring right now a lot.The dream act states thet some people dont let kids get education when they go to college because of their illegal parents but its not the kids fault i mean they were born here so they should have the right to get education.

  16. i think this affects latinos by them getting Descrimanated by people

  17. WELL I AGREE WITH WHAT THE LITTLE KID SAID AND THE LADY ITS NOT FARE WHAT THEY SAYING ABOUT US OUR PARENTS AND FAMILY DID NOT TO COME TO TAKE OVER THE UNITED STATES THEY CAME HERE TO WORK ALSO WHAT THE KID SAID ITS NOT FAIR THAT HE HAS BIN LIVING ALL HIS LIFE HERE AND THAT HE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A CITIZEN AND HE SHOULDNT BE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A FAIR LAW.

  18. I think that latinos are both legal and illegal. They are legal because they have papers. Well only some and I think they are illigal because some don't have papers and they are being critisized because of their color of skin. What I saw in the video was a boy that was talking about how he's scared that the immigration would get him just because of his color and I saw a two women who were working and that they didn't need the help of the government that the government needs help from them.

  19. Kids are effected because,by them being immagrants they dont have opportunities to go to school. Adults can't go to work, they come for work so that there kids get better lives then what they had. People are effected because, they can't vote or get a job, or buy a house, or get financial aid because there immagrants. They don't have as many oppertunities as other people who work here.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I Feel that every one are Immigrants because everybody who came to the United States came here from another country. Latinos aren't illegal because they didn't do nothing wrong to our country and they just came here to work hard and have a better live for them and their children. I Support the dream Act because i believe immigrants could have a chance in living their dreams and they have a better chance here then their country.

  21. Lattinos are affected by immigration, they don't get to apply for finacial aid for universities or colleges. They don't get the education that they came here for. That why it is very important that the dream act gets passes, so immigrants under 16 can get scholarships for school. Latino children are also affected by immigration because sometimes they barely get to see their parents because they are working all the time.

  23. Latinos(both legal and illegal) are affected by immigration by many reasons. Police beleive that just because you look latino you are expected as an immigrant. They may be doin job, but that doesn't give them the right to arrest all latinos just because they look like latinos.

ITS EFFECTS THE IMMIGRATION BECAUSE THEY LET THEM IN LIKE THAT.AND PEOPLE OF COLOR THEY DONT THEY HAVE TO LIKE HAVE PROOF THEY BEEN IN THE U.S. BEFORE THE AGE 16 IF YOU ARENT THEY CAN SEND YOU BACK FROM WERE YOU CAME FROM.LIKE THE DREAM ACT.LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO DONT LIKE IT BECAUSE ITS NOT FAIR LITTLE KIDS WHO BEARLY EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS DONT LIKE IT THATS VERY BAD.

    Latinos are legal and illegal bacause some of them dont have money to come to the united states and other imgrandts have at least to come to the united states.I remenber when my cousin came to the united states he got cup on then border so the police sended him back.It was very sad because he has alot of sons and their are poor. On the video i see the many people on the video are poor they work really hard to have at least some money.

    Latinos are both illegal and legal because some were born here and others werent. They're parents are from mexico and the kids can be from the United States and they're illegal and legal together. Something that Msr. Murphy said keeps me thinking that immigrants arrive in the U.S.A every 35 seconds. Everyone is immigrants in the United States because they can come from china, Europe, Mexico, Canada, and lots of other colonies. I'm illegal and legal becqause i was born here and im proud of it. My life should mater to my family and me not the government.

    latinos are discriminated by how they look because if your white they dont stop you because they think you were born here.And carring an ID around because they could deport you as an imigrant is just racist and not good it just bassacly makes the united states look bad.

  29. will the dream act is about being here wihen your under 16 yrs old and and more than 5 yrs here and has to be in collage for 2 yrs at least and you can get your papers. Immigration affects some people beacuse some people cant go to collage without there papers and really doesnt give them alot of invanteges.

  30. MSanchez Room 303Tue Nov 09, 08:18:00 AM

    Latinos are both immigrant and not immigrant ,because some people think that they’re immigrants when they’re actually not immigrants and they just pack on them &. send them back. I know how they feel because I have a brother-in-law who is in immigrant and cant really go anywhere because he’s afraid they will catch him and send him back to Mexico. But he’s luckiness has let him have a job &. Been happy wish my sister &. His 2 sons ( my nephews ) . The dream act is probably not being passed because they think that more and more immigrants will come and that their children will get the privileges to go to school and get a job. I found out that every 35 seconds a new immigrant arrives to the United States,& If the ‘DREAM ACT’ gets passed we will have over BILLIONS of people coming o the unites states .

  31. wHAT I SAW IN THE VIDEO WAS KIND OF SAD FOR ME BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT BEING IMMIGRANTS OR NOT BEING IMMAGRANTS.ALSO THEY LIKE FEEL SCARE TO GET CAUGTH LIVING IN A PLACE WERE THEY SHOULDNT BE AT.I ALSO FELT BAD WHEN THEY WERE GRABBING PEOPLE BAD AND CHECKING THEM.lATINOS ARE AFFECTED TODAY BECAUSE THEY MIGTH NEVER KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM WHEN THEIR LEVING IN A CERTAING PLACE.

  34. Both leagal and illegal latinos get affected by immigration because they can get deported or questioned for simply looking like a imamagrent or because they dont have an ID. Many immagrents are hard working and have stable jobs that they need to sustain their familly's.

  36. Both legal and illegal latinos are affected by immigration, because they are treated differently than other races.Some people look at latinos as if they are not humans,and it shouldn't be that way. Everyone should be treated the same no matter what race they are.In the video the latinos are treated very bad and discriminated.In my life I haven't had an experince like this,but I could imagine how people with this problem feel.

  37. I think it is bad of the migra to come and just take people back to Mexico like if the immigrants haven’t made a home in the U.S.. It is wrong to take people back because the people are trying to survive. It affects families badly because it terse people apart from their families. The little kids sometimes never see their parents again. Only the lucky ones get to see their parents again, and that is in about 5 or more years. My cousin once came but la migra took him back to Mexico.

    It affects the immigrant because they get hurt and get violated. One thing that is illegal is that they work without papers and second thing that is legal is that they work and they follow orders and they don’t need anybody in back of them to tell the what to do. I thing that the immigrants who come here to work and send money $ to there family they have the rights like every person in this world.

  39. Well from my view of point Latinos of legal and illegal because......In the U.S.A don’t try to come because you are risking your life to come to the U.S.A and jump trains and jump to a other train and a other and cant die or get hurt really bad ): There many ways to get in the U.S.A like wait and get your papers and wait and then get be able to get into the U.S.A Sometimes that is very sad to be is my aunt cant come or visit me and I haven’t seen her from about 4 years and I really miss her!! Its wrong your family members cant come or you go see them. When I get older I want to help people who don’t have papers, because this is sometime sad and cant be fix.

    The Latinos are affected by immigration today because if they see you in the street or riding your bike they might stop to see if your an immigrant. Also if your white they won’t stop you only if your Mexican and lots of Mexican hate it. The DREAM ACT is about that to help children to succeed their dream to go to college to reach their goal. Lots of immigrant come to the united states to work and get a job to help their family.

  41. Immigration. It is with us and probably will be for the rest of our lives. Children as well as parents are affect immigration each and every day of their lives. Parents are forced to struggle to get a job, discrimination , and feed their children. I feel that children are most affected because they are in the middle of it all. If you are legal or not legal you can’t do anything to help your parents. You’re stuck and you feel terrible that you can’t do anything to help… just like I do. Being illegal usually prevents parents from getting a good job thus not able to feed their family and of course can’t pay any bills. I also feel that immigration makes a family stronger because it tightens the bond in tough times. Immigration as well as destroy it.

    Latinos are affected by immigration because of unfairness. One of the people in the video said white people have nothing to worry about and people of color will be harassed. The DREAM act requires immigrants to go two years in college or military service. In the video it says that 1 in 10 people that die in the war are immigrants. The little kid in the video said that he and his family need an I.D. to prove that he and his family are legal.

    Immigrants are affected because sometimes illegal immigrants have really good grades, and a chance at a scholarship. Bu they can't get it cause they are illegal immigrants. My cousin had a chance to get into Yale for college, but she couldn't get in cause she didn't have her papers.

  45. well both legal and illegal latinos are affected by immigration because of the law 1070. Police officers can stop you and ask for your papers even though you are legal.The dream act affects illegal latinos because they dont have papers and that affects them more because they wont be able to go to school becuase of their immigration status.One time i went to a gas station on texas and i was making line with my dad when i heard two guys talking bad about mexicans.They thought that mexicans didnt deserved to be in the u.s.....I was glad we got out of that state and im not planing going back they are racist.(no offense to people who are from texas)

  46. I have to say I agree that people hate the law about immigrants. People that come here legally have that fear of people seeing them and thinking there an immigrant and report them. A cording to the the dream act they have to have a rode to citizenship. This is a fair country and yet we don't show it. They deserve a fair chance too.

  47. well latinos are affected my immgration because they are not from the U.S.A .
    also the latinos are affected because the immigration know that they were not born here. that is what i predict

  48. Latinos both legal and illegal are affected by immigration because they are afraid that they might get stopped and, asked for an I.D. which is something they wont have. So they will be stopped even though their legal. Just because of their racial profiling,they are assumed to be illegal. Then the ones that aren't legal will get deported.Another reason why Latinos are affected by immigration is because they are not able to pay taxes and interact with todays economy. Then they can't go ahead and achieve their dreams. They cannot go on to finish their education. Which is why many Latinos want the Dream Act to become possible. If this occurs then they would be able to have better jobs and education and they would pursuit any lost dreams.

  49. well i think there both affected beacuse if your a migrant you can get deported. if your not a imigrant but look like one the cops keep on stoping you. just beacuse you lok like one. they judge you base by your apperince. ive seen how they stop my dad alot for being mexican. he has papers tho.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I feel that they are both effected by them being mexican. And coming from Mexico meaning that there is a 90% chance that their imigrants will cause problems. And, so if this is true their always going to be stoped by the police.When they also be in groups and hanging out on the corners maybe waiting for a friend, they stop you because the mexicans are known for being gang bangers. And for being the one hanging with one of them you find that now your a supspect you are now going to be watched.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think that they both legal because they or we lived on this country and some people get marry with other people who are citizens and they are or have pappers and illegal because they are not suppost to live here and they suppost to have a live better and i think they have the rights to live here .

    I think that because they help make this world a better place and is not fair that others have the rights that can live on the same country...that what i think.....

  52. i think that immigrants are affected today because they get seperated from theyr sibblings and sometimes really close friends almost like family i dont think this is cool because people get hurt they die i just don't think this is fair like , only white people get treated fairly and in my opinion thats why african americans and mexicans have a bad reputation in the community thats how i see it in my perspective

  53. latinos are illegal because they dont have green card or some other stuff to be here they could be here they are legal because they got there green card and other stuff what i feel about this is that its not right for them to take them back to mexico the end

  55. The latinos both are affected by imigration today by the imigration sees someone of color and they think that they are illegal imigr5ants. That a personal expirience is that when the imigration sees a white person they dont do anything but when they see a colored person they stop them.

  56. well in my viewpoint about the affecting of latinos been illegal and legal affects by the way the are from.In my viewpoint this affects all the mexicans and latinos because from they are.what I saw in the video is sad because they might be reporting them because of the reform supposly barack obama is going to gave to the mexicans.In my own experience I have been were illegal.The feelings I have of this video is that IT's bad from they been reported.

  57. THEY ARE AFFECTED BY THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL IMMIGRANTS TODAY AND THERE ARE A LOT OF LATINOS.THE LATINOS COME HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR THEM AND THERE FAMILYS SO THEY COULD MAKE IT IN THE WORLD.SOME OF THEM COME HERE LEGAL AND SOME ILLEGAL BUT ITS FOR A GOOD REASON NONE OF MY PARENTS ARE IMMIGRANTS BUT MY GRANDMA AND AUNT ARE.NOW THEY HAVE A GOOD LIFE IN AMERICA WITH GOOD JOBS.

  58. they are effected by it because lots of cops mistake them for illegal alien. another why it affects them by the people speak somethime they need a transator to speaak for them. or sometimes people talk be hind them and say something they dont understan. if not they tell them lies about stuff. or even tell them to do illegal stuff so they can get deported.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I cant imagine how awful the imigrants feel. They dont seem to feel safe. The only reason they came to the U.S is just to come and work and now they are being looked for to take them back to Mexico. They arent doing anything wrong they era just working. There might be another reason some dont want to go to Mexico. There is lots of people dieing and the president wont do anything about it!Thats what I think imigrants might want to come to the U.S.

  61. latinos are people that come from other countryes like mexico they come to the us for jobs because now in days the economy is meesed up and is worse in mexico. here in the us are lots of jobs but some are slow and sometimes theres no work and this effects famlies.

  62. The Latinos (both legal and illegal) are affected by immigration because they can go anywhere and people are going to be hating on them. Like my uncle he went to the liquor store and the police came around and just arrested him. We had to pay 200 dollars to get him out. I think this government is stupid and retarded because they supposebly call this the land of opportunity. Well why don’t they let them come over to work for opportunity.

  63. The DREAM Act will help immigrant students be able to go to college but there are requirments to qualify. Latinos today are affected because cops think that all latinos are immigrants sometimes they don't ask for papers at all. In the video I saw people getting pushed to walls without showing identification. I remember a time when I was 7 years old we were leaving my Aunt's house from a little get together we had. The cops stopped us after we got into the car and close to the highway and they thought my dad was an immigrant because he spoke spanish. The cops should do a better job in catching immigrants.

  64. Today latinos are illegal affected by immigration because children even have to walk around with an Id if they dont have one the police are going to think that they are immagrants and arrest them. latinos are also legal affected by immagration because helicopters are out looking for them. even though they were born in the united states the police would still think that they are immagrants.

  65. I think latinos are affected by being thrown into jail or maybe beaten. Whitch is not very nice. I think they should just tell there parents. Something else than being crual to them.

  66. I think that Latinos both illegal and legal are affected today because back then when they finished high school they couldn’t go to college afterwards. They couldn’t do that because they had no documents and were illegal in the U.S. Now you also have more knowledge and because of that the government came up the Dream Act. The Dream Act was a law passed to all immigrants that were illegal 16 and lived 5 years in the U.S. I t would make them legal citizens and give them scholarships to college

    Latinos that are legal get affected : For example, if a legal person that works in construction gets paid $40 an hr. If an illegal person comes and works for the same job. They fire the legal person, because therefore they can pay the illegal person $20 per hr, and instead of paying the legal person $40 an hr. They can pay two illegal persons.
    Latinos also get affected when they’re illegal : For example : For an illegal person, they can’t get food stamps, government help, insurance etc. They also get affected by if their driving and the police catches them, and they know they are illegal they can be deported. It also affects by families getting slip up.
    When the children are left alone because they’re parents had been deported.
    In the video he’s mother says that she comes and works, and she’s never late to work and she doesn’t misses either. A personal experience is that my uncle has been deported. It’s something that happens when you don’t expect it too.
    It is also something that nobody wants to live it, because it’s very sad for their families. For a family member to be sent to their own state, and to leave their children behind.

  68. Well, I think that all Latinos legal and illegal are affected by immigration a lot because; if you don’t have your ID or something that identifies you then they might deport you as an immigrant. One time they stopped my dad and asked him if he had his license or ID my dad luckily had his license and ID but I know that if he didn’t have that then they might have reported him as an immigrant. Also the dream act is about the government that helps the immigrant kids go to school. In other words it gives them a chance to learn to actually get a college degree or join the army or what ever they want to do.

I think both illegal and legal are begin affected because police might stop a person that looks mexican but that is legal.This is affecting illegal people because they are here because of a dream they have to work and have a better live.The Dream Act is made up of kids that went to school here but are illegal and because of this they can`t keep on their studies.Also kids are suffering because their parents are not legal here they might get deported and the kids are going to stay here alone.This can cause serious damage to this kids for example hating the U.S for taking their parents away.This place is called United States but somehow it is not acting united.In away they are taking kids parents away that is not begin very united.Also the U.S is made up of different raise that is what makes the U.S unique.

  70. Illegal immigrants and legal immigrants are getting affected by the laws passed in the U.S. For one thing in Arizona because of the 1070 law now police will stop you because you look Mexican which in fact is racial profiling. This is affecting both seeming how immigrants will be stopped and deported back and will also affect their families (if they have one here) seeming how it could be the person deported was the one who worked for the family. This also affects legal immigrants for the fact that it could be that they get stopped when in fact they are trying to get to some place quickly. Immigration today is affecting countless people. First of all legal immigrants face harassment and constant policemen (or I.C.E.) asking to see their papers. Immigration is also affecting illegal’s for the fact that they come here to work but now it is hard to because you hear how the government is going into companies and asking each employ to show them their papers. Worst of all is the fact that immigration is affecting children. For one thing after completeing high school children from illegal families cant go to college for the fact that they need papers to get into one. Now there is the D.R.E.A.M. act which is proposing help to those illegal children but the fact that it is still not passed is ruining the dreams immigrants had to go to college or to see their children get a good education to get them some place.

  71. i feel that they are both effected by them being mexican. And coming from Mexico meaning that there is a 90% chance that their imigrants will cause problems. And, so if this is true their always going to be stoped by the police.When they also be in groups and hanging out on the corners maybe waiting for a friend, they stop you because the mexicans are known for being gang bangers. And for being the one hanging with one of them you find that now your a supspect you are now going to be watched.

  72. in this video it talks about how immigration is being attacked by the 1070 law. Also that latinos that were born in the United States are being confused with imigrants even though they're not. If you are born here nobody should be saying that your an immigrant.They are not illegal because they have papers to prove that they were born here. People shouldn't judge if they don't know if what they are saying is true.

  73. Illegal immigrants would feel very upset because they would get jobs that would pay a little about per hour, would be disrespected, and sometimes the immigrants would be deported back to their home where they started. The legal immigrant would feel the same thing, but would go and move on to get a life and job. In the video, people or immigrants would feel very depressed and lonely when people, mostly children, would be left alone without their family members. That would happen in the video.

  74. I have to say I agree that people hate the law about immigrants. People that come here legally have that fear of people seeing them and thinking there an immigrant and report them. A cording to the the dream act they have to have a rode to citizenship. This is a fair country and yet we don't show it. They deserve a fair chance too.

  75. Legal and illegal latino immagrants are affected by immagration and todays world because we are judged all the time on way we look and tell us that we dont belong here and go back to our country. This is our contry because the united states is made up on immagrants. Legal and illegal come to the u.s and they try to make their lives better. So dont jugde us.

  76. Most people say that Latinos are illegal because they don't come to America in an airplane.They come through trains.The Dream Act helps legal and illegal immigrants get the right education.It tries to give aliens a proper education.To make things fair though it has conditions.For example you have had to come in the U.S at the age of 5.Also have a good moral character.

  78. Well..Immigrants Illegal and Legal Happens Today are because they weren't Born here. I seen them Suffer in Streets even in the News I seen Them. I even have an Aunt from Texas she went to see my other Aunt like she died by Shooting Her. She wanted to See her one last time, and She's still trying to Find a Way to Cross to get to the United States to take Care of My Two Cousins in Texas which my Uncle is Only taking Care of them when he takes them to his Work.

  81. I think that both illegal and ligal immigrants are affected for many reasons. One reason that they are affected is becuse maybe they have family that is going to get deported.Or maybe if your illegal your afraid to drive or work becouse if immigration gets you you loose your job and or if your driving you will loose the car and get deported and loose you family.

    Legal and illegal immigrants are affected today by racism and unequal rights and advantages. Immigrants today are stop by the police just because they are darker than others or because they look different. For example, if there is white guy that committed a fault but then there’s a Mexican guy behind him the police will stop the Mexican guy instead of the white guy who committed a fault just because he looks different. I believe that immigrants have unequal advantages because when a kid goes to school they might have some difficulty because the teachers don’t speak the kid’s language and he doesn’t understand all the things that the teacher explains. I think that immigrant struggle more than the kids that are born here because they don’t have the same struggles and problems.

  83. Most legal and illegal latinos are affected by todays immigration because there is more officers that deport latinos and states are kicking out wether no matter if a latino is illegal or legal.Therefore i hate that because i am an immigrant and i can't imagine how "la migra" can be outside or not.So it isn't fair,plus they sometimes confuse legal latinos to illegal latinos.That's racism same as the ones who opposed to the dream act because the dream act gives immigrants their rights they deserve and the opportunity they had won for their hard working.

  84. they are legalized because every illegal and legal imergrants seek the american dream. the dream act.They are also affected by immigration becouse you cant get a good job becouse maybe immigration will get there and take you.Another thing is that maybe your children are illegal and they would have a bad future like there parents.

  85. People say that Latinos are illegal because they come from mexico or a diffrent state. Latinos say that they come to the U.S because they want to work and have a better life. A 6th grader is saying that people might think there imagrants, but he was born here and grew up in the U.S that he dont like how they treat the imagrants bad, by seperating his family.

  86. What I think of this video is that it is not fair that the whites get everything unlike the Mexican’s. Mexican’s need to get the proper paper work. The whites are immigrants too. That is because the Native Americans were here first. So the whites came and took over the Native Americans territory. Everyone is an immigrant to the United States.

  87. well fist know that how people feel about not having the money or been depoerted back to their country that they were.what i want to say is thath how come the united states just give the reform for the immigrants and everything will be back no fights,violence and more.I think that some immigrants that crossed to the u.s. know that they want to just to make this problem a of attention .They just make this a big deal.If i was they i will fight for the reform of immigtation.It doesn't have to matter their race it matters to live in peace.

  89. latinos both legal and illegal are affected by immigration today by them keep on running away and just because they look like latinos they get deported like the kid saying that the police keeps on stoping him for that reason and thats kind of rasist because the immigration just does that to latinos.and the reason they come here for is to have a better life by getting a job atleast because they couldn't afford their education.

  90. Legal and illegal Latinos are effected by immigration because illegal immigrants can`t even be payed minimum wage because employers threaten deporting them and this can effect legal Latinos because they fire them to hire illegal immigrants. Illegal Latinos are effected because their children who aren`t citezins can`t get the education they need. This is why the Dream Act has been made to help chilfren of illegal immigrants. Thay allow them to go to high school and universities aslong as they are a certain age and are accepted by that high school or University. If they keep good behavior and other expectations they will have these things for life.

  91. Legall & Ileqal Latinos are effect by that law because they qet seperated from their families when they havent even done nothinq. Some kids came here since they were babies and they know the english lanquaqe & they have adapted to the U.S ways. They should be called citizens also, & its not fair to them that they can qet deported in seconds & even their parents because their parents came to the U.S to work.! & just to work, make money & have a better life instead of living in poverty in Mexico.Even when the kids just walk down the street or riding their bikes they are risking them selves of getting deported. The police just stop them because of their color, & quickly decide their immiqrants. They shouldnt be stopping them thinkinq their immiqrants just because f the color of their skin. Its not fair.

  92. I think illegal and legal immagrants are affected by their color of skin.As the soldier said "If you're white your safe,But if your mexican you had a possibilty of being stopped."I've noticed that many workers are mexicans,because they work harder than any other race.Many immagrants are still watched by many officers in stores to make sure they aren't robbing anything.I believe from, my own experiences that most "Americans" are racist to everyone except their own kind.Like the KKK.Many kids and families are affected by this law they believe they are no good to be in this country but they still stay.T/S once when we were coming back from Mexico and they did a "random search" my dad had about 5 bottles of liquor and they patrol officers said he could only take 2.I saw some white family had a full box of pure liquor and they let them passed.In my opnion i think that was racist.

  93. They are many latinos in the united states and many of them come from mexico.they come to the united states to work to make money.They suffer alot.They qet reported,and some qet back sended back from were they came from.why are people so rasist we are all the same.We all have problems with immigration.they are affected because many of them lose their jobs. they get caught while they come to the united states.thats how most of the people have problems with the imgration people.also some rasist people that don't like mexicans or people that come from other places they call the police on them, because they don't like immigrants, well i say that,is not okay because right know there is alot of immigrants all over the world....

    Latinos are affected by are racist. There is always someone out there that is always going to be racist. Some people get stopped by the police just because they are Latino. In the video I saw many migrants immigration one way or another, legal or illegal because some police or cops being arrested by the police, getting there fingerprints taken, going on there record.

  98. It could affect the latinos because many kids that are latinos and there parents are mexicans and illegal immigrants.they could deport there parents and leave the kids in the foster homes with no parents.Today now mexicans dont protest because then they know whose mexican and then deport them back to mexico.

  99. i think its illgal because how the cops just go for there raice when there just walking around or just driving and also how children are now scared for being around the cops there are now think if there looking as a latino there going to be deported.even though there were born in the united states.also they now think its going to be affected them in there family as a immgrant. many mothers dont want to have any prblems they just came to support there family by working hard and only working. the dream act is made for children that goes to school but only if there illgal the can not be allow to keep there studies.

  102. The people who are here illegally effect the Latinos here because the color of there skin there still judge by the way they look . These Latinos are stopped by the police they have to carry on worried about being deported .based on this video it reminds me that these police officers aren’t fair to these people . In the video they feel as if they have too keep watch of what they do and were they are they think about how this can effect there family and how they were raised in that place since they were little and there they are being judge by the color of there skin .I remember that when I was going too Indiana with my dad a police officer had stopped another car and had asked to see his papers and this got me thinking about how all these people are treated and how these officers are so unfair to these people and how much these people have to go through ,with all those problems they have to face .

    I think that life as immigrants is really hard because you are living in danger and you don’t know how you are going to survive each day. Some are scared of even going out of their own house because they are scared that someone might deport them or do something to them. People also take advantage of them and Latinos think that they can’t do anything since they are scared of calling the police. Even if they have diplomas for college they cant even get a job. Life as Latinos is horrible.

    Well, I believe that latinos, both legal and illegal, are viewed as mainly illegal by view of immigration. The people from here view us as if we're "wet backs" or "Go back to the South!". Most latinos aren't even Mexicans and they view all latinos as Mexicans. we are all people, understand.

  105. Well illegal immigrants have to leave their family and have to find jobs that pay very cheap and for legal latinos their jobs are taken from immigrants and they can get mistaken for immigrants and people judge them.
    one of my moms friends was an immigrant she had kids because she thought if she had kids in America she could stay but the lanlord who lived there thought she was an immigrant so she called the immigration police and she was deported. Most mexican do believe this and when they get deported it is very hard for the legal kids.

  106. I think that the video was sad for me because that kid seem so sad because he hated that he had to carry something that identified him as not a immigrant. Also how he dose not like the attacked of 1070 law. The dream act I about immigrants to get a change to go to school. I experience the my dad had to always carry his ID because of how he looked.

    How both legal and illegal Latinos are affected by immigration is that they are both treated like illegal immigrants. For example in Arizona you get pulled over for just looking Latino. The legal immigrants are let free but the illegal immigrants are deported back to their home countries. The jobs are another big issue with immigration. Illegal immigrants are treated like dirt in their jobs. For example they don’t even get paid minimum wages, sometimes they don’t even get paid, and they can only get jobs which U.S. Citizens don’t want to do. Immigration sometimes doesn’t benefit the immigrant at all because some them could have a better life in their home countries.
