Hi hommies,
Today the topic is about personal opinions. My teacher
wrote about immigrants and I think that is a good topic to talk about since is
a national issue that we must solve.
My mom told me that she had never seen a black skinned person
until she became older. She remembers her father talking about black people
when he travelled to Ecuador, but nothing else. Now she sees them every day.
According to the news, there has been indeed a raise of
immigration in Chile.
There are many problems with immigration: jobs (illegal
jobs, low wages), lack of a good health system (well, this is for everyone isn’t
it?), racism, etc. I always wonder myself…they come here looking for a better
life and this is how we treat them? I feel sorry about them. How horrible can
life be in their country to give everything for trying luck here in Chile? There
are persons who are teachers, doctors, lawyers, and they are in the streets asking
for food. I find this a terrible situation. Most them demand a regulation for
immigration, and the government does nothing.
What I hate the most, is racist Chileans. They think
that immigrants come here to take “their jobs” while by law (Work code), only
15% of workers can be immigrants. Also, they are mean only because their skin
colour, if they were Americans or Europeans, I assure you this kind of treatment
wouldn’t exist.
Hopefully there are non-Governmental Organizations
helping with this issue.
I got an uncle who lived in most countries of South America because of his job and he told me once that most foreign nanys where teachers and nurses waiting for their jobs permit.
ReplyDeleteI think we (as a society) must change our mind about inmigrants, recism takes us nowhere.
