Larissa: Hi my name is Larissa. Evelyn: And my name is Evelyn. Larissa: And we're working on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

FIRST SLIDE

Evelyn: Article 13 says: You have the right to come and go as you wish within your country. You have the right to leave your country and go to another one; and you should be able to return to your country if you want. Toda persona tiene derecho a circular libremente y a elegir su residencia en el territorio de un estado. Toda persona tiene derecho a salir de cualquier pais, incluso del propio y a regresar a su pais.

SECOND SLIDE

Larissa: The rights in Article 13 should be universal because many countries don't allow immigrants to go to certain countries and live there. The rights in Article 13 are important because many people want a better life so that they don't have the terrible life they used to have.

THIRD SLIDE

Evelyn: A positive situation is that many immigrants can work in certain jobs. Thats good because many immigrants can't have specific jobs because they aren't residents, so the government gives them certain jobs that they can work on. Many of those jobs are working in food factories or picking food from big fields that other people can't work on.

FOURTH SLIDE

Larissa: A negative situation is that there was a law that was made in Arizona called the SB1070. The law defines that immigrants can't go to Arizona because they will be deported. That law allows police officers to stop anyone who they think is illegal and ask for their citizenship documents. Many immigrants get worried and decide to go to their own countries or move to different states.

FIFTH SLIDE

Evelyn: Hay muchas organizaciones que trabajan con inmigracion. Una organizacion se llama MIRA ( Massachusetts Immigration and Refugee Advocacy). Esa organizacion deja que inmigrantes tengan documentos de residencia y firman papeles para evitar que los deporten para tener residencia en los Estados Unidos.

SIXTH SLIDE

Larissa: Este trabajo de arte fue echo por un nino de 9 anos. Este nino le escribe al ministro como quiere regresar a Canada con su familia. El nino esta encarcelado y explica como todo esta feo ahi. El le pide al ministro una visa para su familia para que puedan regresar a Canada y vivir como si nada hubiera pasado.

Larissa and Evelyn: Thank you.
