I chose immigration because it's something I had to deal with since I was a child. My parents are illegal immigrant that had to struggle in order to make it to the United States of America. They have always been living in fear that they would be deported back to Mexico and leave us their children hear in the U.S. With a chance that they might never see us agian in their life. They have told me that if they get deported I would be the one to take care of my siblings and make sure they have a good life. I have been around in this city and have heard that Mexican should never come here and to just stay in Mexico, but they don't understand the harsh condition of going weeks without eating, not growing up with your parents or siblings, and the violence that's in Mexico. Imagine your life being control with fear and being force to doing many things only to get money so that your family is able to eat. This is don't by the Narcos, Drug Lords, that don't care about you or anybody as long as they are getting their money; they're capable of doing anything.

I learned that Cinco De Mayo symbolizes Mexico victory over France in Puebla.

September 16th is Mexico true independent day.

More people in U.S. Celebrate it more then in Mexico. Most people that celebrate Cinco De Mayo are those native to Puebla
