A small number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. will
have an opportunity to join the military for the first time in
decades under a new Department of Defense policy unveiled Thursday. The new
rules will expand an existing program allowing recruiters to target foreign
nationals with high-demand skills, mostly rare foreign language expertise or
specialized health care training.For the first time, the program — known as
Military Accessions in the National Interest, or MAVNI — will be open to
immigrants without a proper visa if they came to the U.S. with their parents
before age 16. More specifically, they must be approved under a 2012 Obama
administration policy known as Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, or DACA.
This is something good for those people who came here as kids and they learned
to love this country as if it was theirs, to give their life for it. Some of
them this country is all they got and all they have, it's only fair for them to
fight and be given an opportunity for what they want and believe in. Although
they're immigrants they're willing to die for a land who might not be their
homeland but grew up like if such.

Our Diversity of Foods in California
Immigration
in the US, is the best thing that could happen to this country, specially to
the state of California. Not only we are rich in different cultures. But, can
get to experience a variety of food from different countries everyday; when
ever we want to. One day we can feel like eating Mexican food and the next feel
like eating Japanese food. I can't imagine myself eating only one type of food
for the rest of my life anymore. I love to experience and eat food from
different cultures that our "Land of Opportunity" has to offer us.
Thanks to all of those people who decided to come here. All with different
reasons, thanks to all our ancestors we also have a rich immigration history
that can amaze us.
