Immigration is a topic of great importance nowadays and it is causing lots of problems. Facing a wave of refugees fleeing from the war of Syria and a terrorist group threatening the West, people are adopting a xenophobe and racist attitude towards it. An example of this is the recent victory of Donald Trump in the American elections. Following his electoral programme, which is totally intolerant with immigrants, he passed a law to avoid the travelling from seven Muslim countries to USA, in order to make his country safe again.
From my point of view, these radical and discriminatory policies are the real problem, not immigrants. This posture just feed the fear of the unknown and the hatred of the different. I think that immigration should be free and allowed and we should not deport those who are forced to flee their country out of fear or need, but help them and shelter them.
Because honestly, if bombs start falling over your home and you see how your close friends die day after day (knowing you'll probably be the next); who wouldn't run away, looking for a better place, where you can at least have the hope of live? And if they don't let us leave, where's our alleged liberty?
