Migrants' Woes

America was once called a ‘city upon a hill’, a beacon of light for immigrants who flocked to the New World in search of a better life. However, now it has become a cautionary tale set against anti-immigrant rhetoric, with the US government cracking down on immigrants through organisations like ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Illegal immigrants might not have a right to live in the US but it should not come at the cost of their lives. Yet, not just in America but in most Western nations, there has been a shift in immigration rhetoric.
