Coyotes

I thought the book Coyotes was a good book. It opened my eyes to things I’ve never really thought about or even cared about. I know there are illegal immigrants in this country, but I never cared about them being here, partly because I never thought about why they were here or how they got here. After reading the book, I have a better understanding of how people from other countries view the United States, and the things we have in this country. Some of the illegal immigrants in Coyotes snuck into America for better paying jobs, so that they could provide for their families back in Mexico. Even though they weren’t paid the amount of money an American worker would have been, it was still better than what they were getting in Mexico. They came here not worrying about having to sleep on a floor with 10 other people, or what job they would have. They just knew that they would take whatever they would get. Although I know that coming into a country illegally is against the law, I understand now why a person would feel that they had to do it, and why so many people have done it.
