Today I was being nosy and was watching my mom while she did stuff on her laptop. She watched this video on immigration (I watched it too). I was upset. I knew about illegal immigrants and visas and everything but... I didn't realize, I don't know, I guess how bad it was. I talked to my mom and learned more about immigration and the Dream Act. There are so many people, kids, living in fear of getting sent back to a country they might not even know. If they lived in the US, they could have been brought over by their parents when they were babies. Some don't even know they don't have papers until they need their social security number or something. I wrote a letter to the congressmen of Virginia. You can send them a letter too. They have people whose job it is to read them. They will start to consider something a problem if they start getting lots of letters on the subject. You can look up how to send a letter (it will be different depending where you live), but you some sort of return address (even if you don't ask for a return answer), a name and a letter (doesn't have to be long). It's easy, and important.
