Commentary on Classmate

I decided to read Alfredo's blog on the Civil war going on in El Salvador and the reason why many are fleeing the country. I completely agree and understand the reasons that immigration is a big issue in the US. It is because children should be given a better life than the traumatizing everyday life going on in Central America. In Mexico, the war against drug cartels is just as dangerous. People in major states with this issue are terrified of their own corrupt government that works closely with the the cartels. It is very sad to see the life that many have to live because their is no other choice. Many gangs in central america end up using children in their war. Training them early to kill so that they are useful in the war. Poverty is another reason that Central Americans are fleeing. Living conditions are very bad and are not living conditions for innocent children. As a Mexican citizen, I am trying to make a living in the states different than the violence and traumatizing lifestyle in my home town.
