My dad is a college professor. One of the biggest problems he faces is dealing with his students after they take his final test. When he posts the scores, many students will come and complain saying if they fail this class they will be kicked out of college and have to return home. It is up to my dad to either increase their score, and save them from their fate, or tell the students that they got what they deserved.
In the article titled Deportation would force 19-year-old and mom to leave 'everything I know', including dad and siblings, we can compare Nadia (the 19-year-old) to the student and the American government to the teacher. It is the government's choice to decide if Nadia and her mother should be deported or not. I feel sorry for Nadia, but, as they say, "the teacher is always right". If that teacher decides to deport Nadia, then Nadia should be deported.
One problem with the government's decision to deport Nadia is their lack of understanding of Nadia as a person. Good teachers learn about their students as they teach them. They start to understand why they act the way they do. They find out which student is trying his hardest. By the time the finals come around, the teacher understands why each student got the grade they got, and when a student asks him/her to increase their grade, the teacher knows if that student deserves a grade increase. The government cannot do that. Their decisions are based on facts. They know that Nadia and her mother are not an American citizens. They do not understand her as a person. Thankfully others understand Nadia, and are trying to make the government see that Nadia should not be deported. This article shows that their voices have been heard.
