Example:

There is a lot of controversy on immigrants who come to the united states. Many immigrants face a lot of problems and deserve to have an equal
opportunity as anyone who was born in the united states. Many people are taking actions to help to immigrants, “In states, towns, cities and
counties across the U.S., there is a growing movement to introduce anti-immigrant laws that attempt to drive out undocumented immigrants and
their families and punish those who employ or rent to them.”“It is important to know and practice these scenarios so that you and your friends,
family, and colleagues are prepared for any situation. Understanding what your fundamental rights are and how to use them will help you advocate
for yourself and respond appropriately if you encounter the police or immigration enforcement.” By having laws that were meant to attack
immigrants, it helps immigrants out by not having to be in constant fear of their lives and by having immigrant families prepare themselves when
they encounter immigration authorities, them can make the situation go as smooth as possible so that nothing worse can happen and they can have
the best possible outcome. Other may say that there should not be immigrants and be deported or sent to detention centers.“the Department of
Homeland Security has expanded programs that allow certain state and local law enforcement agencies to engage in federal immigration
enforcement activities. The programs have led to illegal racial profiling and civil rights abuses, including the unlawful detention and deportation of
U.S. citizens and permanent residents.”“The programs have drawn sharp criticism from police chiefs, federal lawmakers, and community groups
who point out that such efforts not only fuel discrimination against people based on the color of their skin, their appearance or their accent” These
definition centers would help control the amount of immigrants come to the country, but at the same, by having these immigrants who have
families, they are going to be separated and may not see each other for a long time. Not only are these detention centers worse for families, but they
are racially profiling people for the color of their skin. Although there is a lot of problems for people who are immigrants, many of them should
have the right to have a voice to be able to stand up for themselves on their status in the United States.
