Immigrant issue has become of the most popular social issues
in United States nowadays. The privatization
of prison made the living condition for those unemployed immigrants to be harder.
The weekly reading "the criminalization of immigration and the
privatization of the immigration detention: implications for justice" by
Alissa R. Ackerman and Rich Firman stated about the situation for immigrants’ lives:
it is difficult for them to find jobs and obtain necessary files to be able
to live in this society. Policy makers promote equality as the way to win the election,
and behave in opposite way in the end, treating immigrants unequally and improperly.
I read a book to describe how people in El Salvador entered the boundary line
of the United State by paying huge amount of money to some “agents” and their
poor living conditions after successfully doing so. In this case who are we going to blame
to? People who is seeking for better life? Or the government and organizations who
only care about money instead of their human rights? I think more
comprehensive immigration policies should be released to improve current situation.
