In this article, Hing explains the touchy topic of deportation. He states the unjust policies that can send an immigrant back home. Even petty crimes can put legal citizenship in jeopardy. I agree with Hing and must say that deportation on these terms are unfair. Having many friends who are in this situation, I understand the paranoia that comes with the chance of deportation. I find this very unfair to those who came to the states at a young age and grew up knowing America as a place they call home. If they were suddenly forced back to their "homeland" it would only feel as if they were foreign. Many cases, illegal immigrants do not tell their child that they are illegal and find out later when they cannot get a driver's license, a job, or exercise certain rights. Besides illegal immigrants, it is shocking that permanent residents or immigrants who gain citizenship can be treated as if they are still aliens to the country. The thought of taking years to gain citizenship, only to be easily taken away is wrong. Are these policies purely racist or do they benefit crime rates?
