Open Letter to Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) About Immigration

Dear Senator Jeff Sessions,

I notice that you've developed a large interest in the subject of immigration in the United States. However, there is something about you that concerns me regarding your views of immigrants in the US, Senator Sessions. During my upbringing years of my childhood my first lesson came from my first teachers of education, my parents, and that lesson was and still is: Never forget where I came from! The very first American citizens were Native Americans (and you and I both know the rule of discovery: whoever was the first to step on that land first and settle in it first was the first to discover it). The Europeans and people from several other countries who are the second to arrive came to America on the Mayflower Compact because they've grown tired of the strict rules in England were immigrants. Your fellow immigrant ancestors from the past, Senator Sessions, came to America looking for independence and opportunity. While you are entirely too busy talking about how the modern immigrants get into the United States of America, I'm trying to figure out how you and your ancestors, Senator Sessions, got into the United States of America. Did your ancestors get into this country like the other people who had to fill out papers first? Or did your ancestors just come to this country by ship and slowly, "take over and claimed the land as theirs"? Your ancestors, Senator Sessions, came to America to look for jobs and opportunity also just like today's immigrants. The immigrants from all over the world came to The United States of America to seek a better life. What would your ancestors from another country from the past say if they were standing in front of your face Senator? How would you tell your own ancestors from another country that they are the problem and they are taking American citizens' jobs? How would you tell your ancestors from another country from the past that they couldn't live in the "land of opportunity", The Wonderful Land of The United States of America? Senator Jeff Sessions, you forgot where you came from! You, Senator Sessions, have forgot that the fact that a long time ago, you and your ancestors use to be in the same position as the immigrants of today. Senator Sessions, you along with your ancestors who came to USA has lived to have numerous and unlimited opportunities, so let my immigrant brothers and sisters come to USA to have the same opportunities. To tell you the truth, Senator Sessions, immigrants bring several progressive and wonderful ideas to the United States of America that helps the country as well as the entire world.
