A. Why should the rights defined in article 13 be universal? The rights in article 13 should be universal because many countries like the United States don't agree with immigrants coming into the United states. It should be universal because immigrants have the right to go and leave a country.

B. Why are the rights defined in this article important? The rights in the article are important. They are important because many people want a better life and decide to move so they're away from all the violence, find a job and live a peaceful life.

Relevant situation A negative relevant situation going on in the world is that there is a law in Arizona that forbids immigrants to stay in the state because they are illegal. This law is something bad to many immigrants because they want to get better jobs and live a better life in the United States. They decide to come to the United States because they think they will have a better life here than in their own country. The arizona law lets officers check any immigrants that they think are illegal and ask to see their residential documents and social security number.

A positive relevant situation going on in the world today is that in many countries, immigrants are allowed to do jobs that many other people cant do. they can also increase a talent pool if they have been well educated in their home country. Although it may sound pretty dumb, many immigrants are pleased to do this kind of stuff. These days, many jobs aren't offered to immigrants because they aren't legal and don't have their documents, so when offered this kind of stuff, they accept it so that at least they can have a job to maintain their families.

A organization that helps immigrants become residents of the United States is the MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy). This organization is located in Massachusetts. It gives them applications for their green cards, citizenship, deportation proceedings, family-based visa petitions, work authorization and immigration support services. Some services like the MIRA offer you their service for free or with a donation depending your case. This is a great service for immigrants that are in difficult cases because they are being deported or because they aren't citizens and need the job to maintain themselves or their families.

ARTWORK: We found this picture and decided to analyze it. This is a letter from a 9-year-old boy asking the prime minister to get a visa for his family. Many families are being separated because the parents are being deported and children are being to sent to foster homes or even juvenial. This is a really important and special picture because the boy is explaining how his life has changed ever since his family had been separated. He is explaining how he sleeps, how he wants to go back to Canada and how much he misses his school and family. Many families plead for visa's but hardly ever accomplish to get them. We do not know when this letter was made or sent to the prime minister, but it may be likely that the little boy is still stuck in jail and misses his parents, school, friends and family. Immigration effects many families and is really hard to get out of. If this keeps going on, many more families will be separated and children will be sent to other families where they might not be treated well and will never hear about their parents again. So as you see, this little boy is going through a lot of hard times and pleads for a visa for his family to be sent to Canada again and be reunited.
