After reading the articles, it was very interesting to see how much false hope Asian immigrants had relative to migrating to America. All of the articles talked about their horrible experiences with immigration and the overall general American Government. Especially now in the climate we are in Trump has made is very difficult to legally migrate to the US. The articles highlighted all the struggles and brutal conditions many of these Asian refugees faced every day. ICE has played a huge factor in immigration and are still known for their brutal conditions and insensitivity. Refugees were so poorly treated that some were driven to commit suicide. America’s immigration and Refugee laws should be reformed. There should not have been this much tragedy in a country as progressive and ever evolving as America. People in power need to start fighting for people who have no voice in the economic life standards that people are enduring.

The Southeast Asian refugees arrived in the US, they did not get much support when they settled down. And without help, they followed the bad way like: “dropping out of school, committing gang-related or otherwise serious crimes and later facing deportation. Experts call this the migration-to-school-to-prison-to-deportation pipeline”.
And moreover, Southeast Asian refugees risk being deported from American society because of their negligence and the number of times Southeast Asians commit too many crimes “Compared to other races, Southeast Asian-Americans have some of the highest dropout rates in the country, and the majority of them have not attended college”.
It can be said that during that time the refugees had a very difficult life and moreover the number of Southeast Asians deported was very high. It can affect their children. In fact, the refugees just want the opportunity and acceptance of everyone to lead a new life. On the other hand, they need information and they need to know about immigration policy in order not to deport.
There are refugees, in my opinion, they only want a new life and they always want no one to repeat their past mistakes.
