Interracial marriages have always being polemic all over the world; however, I would expect more acceptance especially in developed countries. It was shocking to see that Africans were given visas for limited time even though they had Chinese kids and were contributing positively to the economy. This article reminded me to immigration laws and deportations in the US and the tearing apart of families with illegal immigrants parents. This article in particular is very helpful in my classroom when covering the unit on “Las familias y las comunidades” that touches on immigration, alienation and assimilation issues. Definitely, quite a few students can relate to this and I believe we can have a productive discussion out of it.

Classroom Questions: What are their views on immigration? Should illegal immigrants who are parents to legal citizens should be sent back to their home country? Should children of illegal immigrants not be considered citizens?
