.
My children are back in my home country. I can't
see or speak to them. I feel helpless without
them. I don't know what will happen to me if I
can never see them again. I thought America was
the land of opportunities. I guess I was
wrong. Everyone here judges me. They think that
America is only for themselves. We need to share
America. America needs to understand that we are
here. We are now part of the country. Coming
here was a mistake. I can't take the
discrimination any more. I have to go back to my
home land. No one understands what I go
through. .
