“Immigration is the international movement of people into a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle or reside there, especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take up employment as a migrant worker or temporarily as a foreign worker.“ I am no longer a citizen of the US, so I have very little I can say or do about recent events. However, I can relate to the issues, since I am an immigrant. I was born and raised in a wealthy part of California, and never lived in poverty, but I am an immigrant to Japan. Some people ask me if I see myself as Japanese. I was not born and raised in Japan, so I recognize I am not Japanese. I am an immigrant to Japan and a naturalized citizen. With the gift of citizenship, comes the burden and responsibility to respect, honor and protect the country and culture I have come to call my own. I believe many immigrants around the world feel the same for their new countries.
I believe we often see immigration as a one-sided issue and tend to divorce it from the human side. I can't speak for all immigrants around the world, but as an immigrant to Japan, I hope that others feel the same way I do. I have a tremendous feeling of love and appreciation for the country that has taken me in, a country that has shown me love and opportunity, a country that is the home of my children.

Cruelty is a lousy policy. We have so much to gain from working with each other, and while there are no simple solutions, we must strive to be kind to each other. I hope families are reunited, and better days are ahead.
