Illegal immigration has spread all over the world uncontrollably and rapidly. I’m a victim who has survived from the last sinking boat in Egypt. People, nowadays, have nothing to talk about except illegal immegrants, and who is the one who is mistaken in these situations. As a victim, I’m going to tell you who’s the mistaken one ,and who’s the one responsible for all of the loses.
It all started four months ago when a group very poor people , I am one of them , went to a smuggler to make a deal with him to travel to Italy with a boat. The smuggler told us that each person has to pay 40,000 L.E in order to arrive to Italy safely. The smugglers words were very convincing to all of us; thus, we brought the money within only two weeks. Everyone thinks that it’s easy for us to be convinced , but this isn’t true. We are well educated, we’ve went to schools and colleges. However, because of our financial status most people put us in a lower category that we are actually in. Additionally , our goal isn’t to cause our county great loses , but it’s to live peacefully , freely, safely, and without anyone making fun of our conditions.
As I stated before, our purpose isn’t causing our country any harm, it’s to live freely, and peacefully. I know that this is not the right way to reach my goal , but I cannot live in my country without taking all of my rights. It is not even fair to live in your country with people underestimating my abilities ,and people who create huge gaps between he/she and I. It’s my right to disagree upon how the government forces me to live. Sitting in the bus for our way to go to the boat, there was a 14 year old boy sitting next to me. I started a conversation with him asking where are his parents , the answer was “my parents collected money for me and they told me that I’m going to Italy on my own to work there and send the money to pay back their debts the they’ll come after me.” I asked him “ Do you go to school?” He answered with a yes and told me that he was planning to become doctor , but his parents told him that he has no future in this country. We arrived and everything was going well. …show more content…
We moved with the boat and after around an hour and a half. It was very dark, extremely cold, and there was not enough food nor water. Suddenly the boat’s engine stopped . Then the boat began to sink . We all felt that these are our last breaths. It wasn’t just a feeling it was something that we were all sure of. I saw many people sinking beside me. People were dying and I couldn’t help anyone. Four people and I were the only people who survived. Hana elshamy Page 1 illegal immigration The government says that we are the ones who are mistaken because we’re going against the law. On the other hand, us, the victims, totally disagree because we’re forced to be different by them . it’s also our right to fight for our rights. Before the government comes and put us in prison they must know that they are the reason why all of this happened. As a government representor I’d like to explain the issue from our point of view, or the right point of view. The government is doing all it can do and it’s dedicating all its effort for the citizens and the countries’ comfort. Everyday a large group of us don’t sleep to serve people. People must notice that we too have families to take care of, and spend time with. Everyday at least ten of our colleagues die in front of our eyes. After all of these loses in our lives and of these efforts we do, people still intend to put the blame on us in everything. Even in illegal immigration the immigrants accuse us that we’re the one who made them act tat way. They always say that we don’t give them jobs, we don’t afford them a good quality of living,
