Welcome to Enrique's Journey

To me the book Enrique's Journey is very interesting. It shows how much what a family member does affects the whole family. A lot of people in the United States do not want those immigrants here, what they don't realize is the sacrifices those people do just to come here. They leave so many of their loved ones behind, their children have to suffer. I am understanding deeper how immigrants think and all the things they go thru. I already know that immigrants leave family members, children, husbands/ wives behind. They leave their lives, their way of living they leave themselves. They go thru a lot just to come here. They have to worry about how money, transportation, safety, food, shelter and most of all they worry about their lives and their loved ones lives. When my parents came into this country it was so much easier to cross the border than it is now. My parents and my uncles crossed the border illegally. They have shared with me their experiences and their troubles so I can understand all the things they went thru so that I could have a better education and a better life overall. I like this book, I think that this is a very important topic in today's society because of all the immigration laws and discrimination that is happening.
