Few weeks ago I read a short story about the immigrants. The story described how a couple was treated partial by the government of America when they wanted to bring their two years old child to there. The parents though it would be easy to move to America so that the couple could live together with their baby. However, the policy actually didn’t take care of the immigrants and respect their rights. The parents both had a certificate but at that time they didn’t have their baby. Only because there’s no certificate to prove that they had a child after they had their own papers, the customs officers took away their child. Then it’s a series of delays and irresponsibility. At first, the government claimed that “tomorrow” they can have the paper to let the parents bring back their son. But finally, the parents saw their child after ten months!!
The most shock plot is at the final sentence. When the mother went to the nursery school to bring back her child, he said “go away, go away!” and bade his mom. How could those things happened to a mother who loved her child so much? How could the government regard such things – to take away a child from his or her beloved parents – as nothing big deal? If the government were really sympathized the mother and treated all human beings impartial, I believe the mother would not lose her child for totally ten months! There’s no wrong with the rule which it can not let a person enter a country without the proof, even though the person is just a child. But the policy did have some problems of its effectiveness and corruptions, leading to the heart-breaking ending.
This also made me think about the brides from South China, Thai, and Vietnam. Do we treat them well or didn’t ignore their rights? The answer is absolutely no! We can still see some immigrants without the identification or the welfares just like us. It’s also an unfair thing for them and an incompleteness of our country’s laws! But no much of us are really concern or care about their rights, their feelings, and their life! How many of them are suffering from the no identification, no jobs, or even no their own children besides them? I feel a great sorrow for the mother in the essay only by thinking about the isolation of her and her son, and the refusal gave by her son.
There is always unfairness in this world. No matter to the female, children, or the immigrants, there must still a lot of problems hiding some where or even in public. But if the governments don’t make any improvements, hundreds of thousands of people would still suffer from the inhuman policy. Now what we should do is that no longer think this kind of thing is others business for some day we may also have the same problem. Let’s fight for their rights, the laws, and our life by offering your cares.
