A very non comprehensive view of immigration in the United States and why people who don't think we should allow immigration are very wrong. Just remember literally everyone trying to come to this country is literally just a person trying to survive and have the best life possible and why would we make that illegal????

Catch me on smurf-fiction.net or wherever she was. We watched The Hating Game starring Lucy Hale playing a character also named Lucy. Based on the book, The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, this movie follows the plot pretty well with some wild changes.
