The word illegal, is wrong and should not be used lightly, to describe another human being. Undocumented is a proper way to address the status of a person. I feel sorry for the lack of understanding and compassion, that some of our presidential candidates are expressing about this issue. They are misinforming and scaring people about our immigration problem. That could certainly be resolved or prevented in the future, without building a wall, or threatening to start a massive deportation that will also include American citizens. Let’s take another look at our problem and listen to our experts about the economic advantages and let’s find a way to protect the families or individuals. Thank you for writing about your experiences. God bless you and your family.
