Modern Challenges in Immigration

CheckPoint: Modern Challenges in Immigration

Hi,

I am a Hispanic female trying to leave South America in search for a better life in the United States. The drug cartel has taken over the city that I am from which, is Yaris, Mexico; and I want to give my kids a better life. I am raising my kids to be successful productive citizens that obey the law and show respect to others, it is hard when they cannot even stand in the front yard and be safe. I want to move my family to the United States for safety and a better life. I want to start the process of moving to the United States and a friend of mine told me about this website called U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website (USCIS); where I can start filling out the forms and get answers to any questions that I have. I was told that the process can be a bit lengthy and that there are many forms to fill out: Green card, Citizenship and Naturalization forms to name a few. However the forms are free as long as I get them from this office. There is however a set filing fee per person for most applicants. Some forms require fingerprinting for FBI purposes (criminal background checks), and the USCIS process them for immigration benefits only. The process altogether is long and time consuming, it is very difficult and well worth the long process.

I think that the U.S. Government should not favor one group more than the other; I am for treating everyone the same and giving them all the same chance to enter the right way. Favoring one group more than the other is saying that the other is not that important. It should not matter if you are rich, more talented, or the neediest,
