Immigrants at the U.S-Mexico border
U.S and Mexico
What happened to the immigrants at the U.S border? *Belinda, a 16-year-old girl, who fled her country because her father sexually abused her, came to the border with ¨the hope of a better life¨ with her baby and her mother.
When she entered a shelter run by the government of the country, she thought they would have the possibility of requesting political asylum and reuniting with his family in the U.S. instead she was deported to Mexico amid the global Coronavirus pandemic. She arrives in her country to find herself, with the fear of receiving the same threats that the fault must have denounced her father who as a result was imprisoned as described by her lawyer in the United states.
Cases like Belinda* are many on the border of United States of America, some are more difficult, at last 915 minors were expelled from the southern border of the U.S between October at least 60 were deported from the interior of the country in the same period according to official figures.
According to various organizations, deportations have been done in the middle of the morning, without the authorization or notifications of the children’s legal lawyers, these actions have caused lawyers to file urgent lawsuits in court to stop the deportations. Hundreds of other minors have been expelled in a matter of hours or day from the United State border without the possibility of applying for asylum protection or seeking legal help.
There was a law to help minors who entered at the U.S border without a parent called special protection that was approved in 2008 for victims of traffic, But due to the Covid-19 outbreak this law eliminated and now many immigrants to enter the United State border alone are being deported to their country.

I really like this article since it provided actual facts and it may raise awareness to a lot of people who don’t know about the situation with immigrant people. The article also mentioned what was happening with deportations with the corona virus in action which is a current situation the whole world is living through. It also made me realize how we have no control whatsoever in what the government does. Loved this.

I liked this because it’s as if you are speaking up for that person and that you wanted this story to be heard because honestly i’ve never heard of this or the story so it just goes to show how much stuff can be hidden but I really liked this.

Nowadays, countries build their great and imposing borders only to close the entrances to the poor and those in need of a better life, but to the rich they open their doors to businessmen, having money first, their goods and their wealth, and then speaking in a political campaign and to say that this country is based on the union or freedom, I feel what I had to spend my Hispanic brothers
