To serve and reject, 2/27

In the article I chose, it talks about the movie "Soy Nero". This movie is about a young Mexican man who served in the war for U.S Army. However, when he tries to come back to the states, he is denied access because he is a so called "illegal immigrant".

Due to the increasing popularity of Donald Trump, people have been more concerned with the issue of immigration in America. The process of immigration is a long process, so to skip the madness, people resort to joining the U.S military. However, after their service is over, some people aren't allowed into the country and aren't even considered to be citizens. I could only imagine how frustrating it may be for these people - serving for the country they hope to call home, but end up being rejected.
