Everyday in New Mexico we see many cultures from every part of the world. Yet we do not stop to really think if they are here legally or ilegally. One student in this story was one of the few who may have not been controled by the system and escaped through the cracks due to the attention this matter is recieving. Now we have started to see in this story the uprising of students that are immigrants, trying to make their stand and fight for what they have worked so hard for. The very thing that we as regular citizens take for granted on a day to day basis, being able to wake up in a country that has certian; not a whole lot; freedoms that other countries do not have. Students and immigrants are now wanting to stay and fight for what they want. This story is not so much about how one has become under control, but how one has not conformed to the state. One of the laws that these students is fighting for, is giving children passage to the USA if they where brought here before the age of 15. Now is that right? Are we now to say that a child is forcably brought here to the USA? Maybe a child will say that he was brought here against hiw will, but ask him the same question 6 years from now. His answer will then be different.
