My Brother

If I were the president of the United States and this whole issue about immigration was still current I would have no idea how to go about it.  This topic is very sensitive to many citizens and immigrants, however when thinking about giving every immigrant papers sounds so wonderful to me, however I stop, and rethink about how the world would function.  I come from an immigrant family; I can say that I have been very lucky to be born in this country.  Seeing some of my family members not having the right to do certain things can be heart breaking.  My mother has family in Mexico who she has not been able to visit for 22 years now.  My brother has dreams about going to a private university, however he has not transferred to any because my family does not have the money to be paying for a private university or any university with out the help of financial aid.  Even though if he were to go to a private university and get a degree how is he suppose to get a job without a social security?  I try to make him think positive, but how can one be positive when one has no rights?  Also how can one stay positive when some citizens do not want you here?

            For example, my brother cause this young man has big dreams about becoming a marketing accountant.  He has dreamed of going to a private university or University of Southern California his whole life.  Even though, has a senior in high school he did apply for states universities and was accepted, he could not go because he did not get any financial aid, the scholarships he received did not cover all the expenses.  I’m sure my brother saw his whole life go down, just because he is not documented.  I feel extremely sad for my brother, for the reason that I know he hates the fact that I will be graduating this year and getting my degree before he does, I’m younger then my brother, but I’ve had the chance to receive a higher education before him not because I’m smarter then him but because I was born in the United States.  Even though, my brother was not born in the States, his homeland still is the U.S.  My brother does not know anything about Mexico; he was brought here at the age of 1 years old.  If I were the president I would give young immigrant adults who are striving for the American education.
