Protestors ask for immigration reform in wake of Obama visit.

Obama visited Fort Bliss regarding the immigration reform.

A group of people gathered together and made signs to direct his attention to what their feelings were toward the whole immigration reform.

They are very angry with the fact that he has promised so many changes and none of them have taken place yet, one of them being the immigration reform.

Their feel that many families have been separated and this could be a solution to help fix that.

I definitely agree with this group of people and admire the fact that they took an effort to stand up for what they believe in. We are given the right to freedom of speech and this group of people took advantage of it. If it’s something that you believe strongly in you should fight for it especially in today’s society where everyone is out to get everyone.

Our president has made so many promises to us but hasn’t changed anything making us think that he just told us that stuff so we would vote him into office.

So many families have been torn apart which isn’t fair to them and children that are in this situation. This could mean that the child could never really know or get to meet one of their parents. So i believe this would be a good chance for Obama to jump in and try to help and bring these families back together.

I think you are completely right because I have seen this happen before. Sometimes the children that get separated from their families don't end up seeing them up to 10 years later! Sometimes kids are separated from their parents as little as the age of 5. I don't think any child or anyone should go through something like that.
