Multipul Perspective Editorial

Looking through the eyes of others can change the view point of someones perspective in many different ways, and will have a huge effect on that person.  Many things in this world are wrong and these things don't get looked at through the person that is getting treated poorly but only through the people that aren't getting effected.  Hispanics are being discriminated on by their immigration status and how they are illegally coming into the U.S.  The average American thought on this problem is that the Hispanic race is going to come and take up all the jobs, worsen the U.S. economy and just add to our already high population.  Few Americans care or take time to look into the eyes or perspective of theses Hispanics.  The real story behind all of this race leaving Mexico and coming to the United States isn't because they want to take up all of the U.S. jobs or ruin the economy, but is to get away from Mexico and their horrible living for families.  Mexico has little jobs, low paying wages and a huge crime problem, "Despite their involvement in drug trafficking, extortion, and kidnapping, both the Familia Michoacana and the Knights Templar have always defined themselves in Robin Hood terms, promising to protect state residents against outside gangs and other threats." (Althaus1).  Which isn't the ideal place to raise a family let alone support that family.  With Americans not looking into the eyes of the Hispanics and truly understanding what is going on is the same with what happened in the book Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, when the Iran revolution was occurring and a certain race was being discriminated on because they didn't take the time to look at their perspective and really understand what is going on in their life.  The sad thing about this is that Americans do this a lot and very few of them will take the time out of their life to look behind the eyes of these Hispanics and really realize what they are going through and why they are actually coming to the United States.
