Bad Move on Immigration - NYTimes.com Re "Suddenly, Illegal at Home," by Lorgia García-Peña (Op-Ed, Dec. 13): As a first-generation Chinese-American, I cannot imagine being stripped of my rights as an American solely because of my parents" place of birth and their immigration status. I am appalled by the degree of blame and the burden that the children born in the Dominican Republic to undocumented Haitian parents are having to deal with. Although the trade-off at stake here is the effort to reform the Dominican immigration system in conformity to the United States system, through much stricter means, there are many innocent people born, raised and living in the Dominican Republic who are losing their rights, their lives and their reputations. This is truly saddening, and this is not the way to go about curtailing illegal immigration.
