For a long time, our federal government failed to protect our
borders from unlawful migration. One result of this failure is an
underclass of children brought here unlawfully by their parents.
These children, mostly Mexican, are raised in our country; they
have learned our language, studied our history, and are educated in
our schools. The influences in our society that shape the values of
all American children shape the values of these children.
When these undocumented children graduate from high school, they
are confronted with a harsh reality; there is no future for them
here in America or in the country where they were born. Although
they did not choose to enter America unlawfully, they are branded
as lawbreakers who should be deported. Though America is the only
home they have ever known, they are told they must return to a land
that is foreign to them.
