In the article, “Two Sisters, Two Americas” Brooke Ross informs us on how being a citizen or being an illegal immigrant in America can make a big difference. Brook Ross writes how the two sisters, Diana and Veronica Saravia, explain the difficulties when one sister is a U.S. citizen while the other isn’t.

Furthermore the discussion on whether immigrants should be deported or have a chance to freedom ship is still highly talked about among the U.S. representatives. Imagine is families got separated and their kids were all alone just so that the immigrants don’t take all of America’s jobs or
