INS?!?!?

While in art class first period this morning, I was talking to a friend of mine and she was telling me how April is supposed to be the month that immigration takes all of the immigrants out of the U.S. While listening to her story, she explained to me how a young woman’s boyfriend was escorted out of the court house not to long ago after his custody hearing. He was there to receive visitation rights to see his child so that he could be in its life. Unfortunately, he will not have that privilege anymore because he is no longer in the U.S. The part that really caught my attention was that Hispanic people that were born in the U.S or obtained citizenship here have to carry around their papers so that they are not rushed out of the country. I feel terrible for the child that is involved in the situation because the baby no longer has the opportunity to get to know its father. Situations like these really make you wonder about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”.
